Comparison of Continuous Infusion and Bolus Phenylephrine for Prevention of Spinal-Induced Hypotension in Cesarean Section: A Quasi-experimental Study

Cesarean section spinal anesthesia is often associated with maternal hypotension, which causes poor maternal and infant outcomes. Phenylephrine is commonly used as prophylaxis and treatment of spinal-induced hypotension, but the most effective mode of administration, bolus or continuous infusion, is controversial. Obje...

Perfusion Index as a Predictor of Hypotension Following Spinal Anesthesia in Lower Segment Caesarean Section

Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of preoperative pulse oximetry-derived Perfusion Index (PI) as a non-invasive tool for predicting spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in parturients undergoing elective lower segment cesarean section (LSCS). Study Design and Setting: Cross-sectional study, Department of An...

Patient and clinical characteristics associated with general anesthesia for cesarean delivery at a Texas level IV maternal care center: a single-center retrospective study.

BACKGROUND The primary aim of our study was to determine which patient and clinical characteristics were associated with general anesthesia (GA) for cesarean delivery (CD), and the secondary aim was to compare neonatal cord blood gas pH between patients who did and did not have GA for CD. METHODS We used a retrospect...

Per-operative anesthetic complications during lower segment caesarean section and their management

Background: Lower uterine segment caesarean section (LUCS) is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide. Both spinal anesthesia (SA) and general anesthesia (GA) are commonly employed, each carrying a distinct profile of per-operative complications. Prompt recognition and management of these com...
