This study aims to explore the patients' and providers' perspectives and inform future anesthetic practice for patients undergoing unexpected cesarean delivery (CD) under general anesthetic (GA). The consideration of patients' concerns, preferences, expectations, and suggestions may lead to enhanced patient satisfaction, compliance, and quality of care that future patients receive during unexpected CD under GA. The investigators will possibly be able to identify gaps in procedural performance that warrant further investigation during the second phase of this study which will contribute to improvement of overall patient care. During the third phase, educational material will be generated from patient insights and will be distributed to the Department of Anesthesia, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Labour and Delivery Nurses and team of Anesthesia Assistants and Respiratory Therapists.
