  • Title: Anesthesia for twin delivery.
    Author: Redick LF.
    Journal: Clin Perinatol; 1988 Mar; 15(1):107-22. PubMed ID: 3286087.
    Abstract:
    The patient presenting for delivery with multiple gestation often produces extreme anxiety for those involved with her care. From the standpoint of anesthesia service, knowledge of what to expect, and better, the knowledge of what to do if and when the various potential problems present is paramount. With close communication and cooperation with the obstetrician and patient, a satisfactory anesthetic and obstetric outcome is achievable. Lumbar epidural anesthesia is highly recommended for pain management when labor and vaginal delivery is anticipated. However, the knowledgeable obstetrician and the knowledgeable anesthesiologist must be present and prepared for all circumstances.
