  • Title: Spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section: current clinical practice.
    Author: Burns SM, Cowan CM.
    Journal: Hosp Med; 2000 Dec; 61(12):855-8. PubMed ID: 11211587.
    Abstract:
    Spinal anaesthesia has evolved as the preferred anaesthetic technique for most cases of caesarean section. Having been extensively studied and refined over the years, there are few situations where a spinal is absolutely contraindicated. While general anaesthesia will always have a place in obstetrics, in experienced hands a spinal offers safety, efficacy and an improvement in maternal morbidity.
