Propofol Spinal Procedural Sedation for Cesarean Section

Egypt228 participantsStarted 2018-04-01

Plain-language summary

Patient's safety and satisfaction are major concerns of anesthesiologists and obstetricians. According to evidence, guidelines and quality markers, regional anesthesia is preferred over general anesthesia in obstetric surgery. A high level of anxiety is present in obstetric patients preoperatively. Patients with high anxiety tend to prefer general anesthesia for cesarean section. The anxiety can be reduced variably by non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic methods. The evidence supports the benefits of procedural sedation for distressed, anxious pregnant women.
