Overview
The aim of the following series of articles about Caesarean Section is to provide a contemporary view of the most important procedures in anaesthesia for Caesarean Section and to open up some as yet possibly controversial topics. This review is based mainly on the current literature and summarizes the consensus views of Expert Group for Obstetric Anaesthesia and Analgesia (ESPA), who work as an expert committee of ČSARIM. One of the main ESPA’s goals is the presentation and moderation of current topics in obstetric anaesthesia in Anesteziologie & intenzivní medicína, the most read medical Czech journal of our specialty. The first step then is this four-part series „Current practice in obstetric anaesthesia“ with the objective to summarize current trends, and also to comment and ‘translate’ the contents to the Czech hospital environment and practice. In this first part the topics of choice are anaesthesia for Caesarean delivery, oxygen therapy, thrombo-prophylaxis, hypotension, severe hypertension and administration of oxytocin.
Keywords:
Caesarean section – anaesthetic care – choice of anaesthesia – oxygen therapy – hypertension – hypotension – thrombo-embolic prophylaxis – oxytocin administration
