Incidence of anesthesia-
anesthesia-related maternal mortality is declining
Prior to regional ± 15
15--20 mL/kg RL or NS
30 mins prior
Rout et al. 1993 ± incidence of hypotension ï from 71%
to 55% if prehydrated
Message:
u Additional means are necessary
u In urgent situation ± not necessary to wait for fluid bolus
ï hypotension ± means improved uteroplacental
perfusion
?crystalloid vs. colloid
m
m
Disadvantages to Colloid?
u Expensive
u Anaphylactoid reactions
u Coagulation effects

Also consider:
Standard monitors

+/-- art, CVP
FHR
u Before, during, after administration of anesthesia
u Evaluates effects of maternal position, anesthesia,
hypotension, and other drugs on the fetus

For elective c-
c-section, current evidence suggests
that supplementary oxygen is unnecessary
1) Non
Non--particulate antacid eg. 0.3 M sodium citrate
2) H2
H2--receptor antagonist
1) [ gastric pH, BUT does NOT alter pH of existing gastric
contents
2) Rout et al 1993±
1993± IV ranitidine 50 mg + po Na citrate
resulted in greater [ in gastric pH than Na citrate alone
(provided >30 mins from time of administration to intubation)

4) Metoclopramide
1) Accelerates gastric emptying
2) ? Reliability of emptying stomach before c-
c-sxn
3) [ lower esophageal sphincter tone
4) Antiemetic effect
m
In obstetric patients - ï in SBP > 25% OR, any SBP <
100 mmHg
Measures of prevention:
1) Fluids
2) LUD
3) Prophylactic vasopressors (ephedrine, phenylephrine)

Lee et al., CJA 2002 ± systematic review of RCT¶s of
ephedrine vs. phenylephrine for tx of hypotension
during spinal for c-
c-sxn
2) Failed epidural
~ 2-
2-6% of cases
m
1) Failed spinal
~ 1% of cases
If delivery not urgent ± 2nd spinal
2) Failed epidural
~ 2-
2-6% of cases
Repeat epidural
Watch for local toxicity

Spinal
Collection of local ± falsely think this is CSF
High spinal
m
Chestnut:
~ 5% planned epidurals converted to spinals
High spinals in 3 of 27 (11%)
u Placental abruption
1) Indication for c-
c-sxn
2) Urgency of procedure
3) Health of mother and fetus
4) Desires of mother
Pros:
Simple
Rapid onset
Dense blockade
Negligible maternal risk of systemic local toxicity
Minimal transfer of drug to infant
Negligible risk of local anesthetic depression of
infant
Cons:
Rapid onset of sympathetic blockade ± abrupt,
severe hypotension
Limited duration
Recovery time may be prolonged (if procedure
shorter than anticipated)
Ñ
Popularity increasing
Cons:
Slower onset
Risk of systemic local toxicity
Greater placental transfer of drug than with
spinal
BUT ± does not affect neonatal
neurobehaviour and of little clinical
significance when appropriate doses used
Risk of high spinal
!
Ñ
"Ñ
Pros:
Rapid onset and density of spinal anesthesia
combined with versatility of epidural anesthesia
Cons:
Potential for high spinal
Inability to test epidural catheter
Only 1 published report of presumed
unintentional insertion of epidural catheter
through dural puncture site
