Question

Advantages and disadvantages of regional anaesthesia

Answer 1

advantage, regional offers reduced maternal mortality, the ability to use fewer drugs, more direct experience of childbirth and the capability to decrease blood loss and provide excellent postoperative pain control. The disadvantages of regional anesthesia include hypotension, intraoperative discomfort, post-lumbar-puncture headache and the potential for neurologic and cardiac toxicity from local anesthetics. The choice of which anesthetic technique to employ must depend on maternal preference, the experience and skills of the anesthesiologist, and the obstetric indication for the cesarean section.
