Summary: There are many benefits of neuraxial anesthesia in the obstetric population. The study found a decrease in the use of general anesthesia during the COVID-19 pandemic in obstetric patients, suggesting the possibility of further reducing its use.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the median effective dose (ED50) and 90% effective dose (ED90) of weight-based fixed-rate metaraminol infusions for preventing spinal-anesthesia-induced hypotension in Cesarean delivery. The results showed that as the infusion rate of metaraminol increased, the incidence of hypotension decreased, but the risk of reactive hypertension increased.

Summary: This study examined perioperative adverse events and hemodynamic stability among COVID-19 positive parturients undergoing spinal anesthesia. The results showed that spinal anesthesia is considered a safe anesthetic technique in COVID-19 parturients and is the anesthetic method of choice for cesarean deliveries among COVID-19 patients.

Summary: Severe preeclamptic parturients require about a 34% reduction in phenylephrine dose compared to normotensive parturients.

Summary: This study investigated factors related to failed spinal anesthesia and its impact on maternal and neonatal outcomes. The results showed that a BMI of <= 29.5 kg/m(2) and a third-year resident performing the spinal block were independent factors associated with total spinal anesthesia failure. Failed spinal anesthesia had negative consequences for both mothers and neonates.

Summary: This study found that intrapartum epidural analgesia was associated with a small increase in the risk of ASD in offspring. However, the biological plausibility of this association remains unclear, and caution should be exercised when interpreting the findings.

Summary: This study found that Caesarean delivery in rural primary healthcare settings carries a higher risk of maternal and neonatal complications. Adequate precautions need to be taken to ensure that obstetric services are provided to patients in as safe a manner as possible in this environment.

Summary: This study compares the efficacy of variable-rate infusion and fixed-rate infusion of norepinephrine for preventing maternal hypotension during spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. The results show that the incidence of maternal hypotension was significantly lower in the variable-rate infusion group compared to the fixed-rate infusion group. However, the variable-rate infusion group required more physician interventions.

Summary: Based on a meta-analysis, it was found that colloid preloading is significantly better than crystalloid preloading in reducing hypotension induced by spinal anesthesia and vasopressor requirement, as well as decreasing the incidence of nausea/vomiting during elective cesarean delivery for healthy parturients.

Summary: Using general anesthesia on animals causes significant changes to the heart and blood vessels. Noninvasive electrical cardiometry (EC) can be used to monitor hemodynamics in anesthetized dogs and show trends in cardiac output (CO) measured using pulmonary artery thermodilution (PATD). EC consistently underpredicts CO values compared to PATD, but has a better performance during acute blood loss. This noninvasive method can potentially benefit patient care quality in clinics by monitoring hemodynamic trends and guiding diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular complications.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the practice of general anesthesia for cesarean delivery in Japan using a nationwide claims database. The results showed a gradual decrease in the use of general anesthesia over a 15-year period, regardless of the definition used. The authors recommend using a combination of claim code L008 and muscle relaxant use as the clinical definition of general anesthesia.

Summary: There is a growing need for fair and trustworthy competency-based assessment in medical training. Simulation is recognized as an effective method for building and assessing applied competencies. This study focuses on anesthesia and intensive care (AIC) in France to document the current baseline of simulation activities.
