Condition: Cesarean Section Complications · Cesarean Section Pain · Regional Anesthesia · Sponsor: Sygehus Lillebaelt
Background In Denmark, approximately 20% of all children are born via cesarean section (C-section), making it the most common surgical procedure (also internationally). The recommended anesthesia for cesarean sections is regional anesthesia (spinal or epidural, "spinal anesthesia"), as it has several advantages: the woman is awake and experiences the delivery of her child, she maintains spontaneous breathing (the risk of difficult airway management is significantly higher in pregnant women), and the risk of aspiration of stomach contents into the lungs (which is clearly increased in pregnant women) is reduced. Furthermore, regional anesthesia can contribute to early postoperative pain management to some extent. With spinal anesthesia, most women feel pressure and touch but no pain during the cesarean section. However, some women do experience pain during the procedure, necessitating a change in the plan. If inadequate anesthesia is detected before the surgery begins, one may choose (depending on, for example, the urgency of the cesarean) to administer renewed regional anesthesia (typically an epidural). However, if the woman first experiences pain after the surgery has commenced, it is necessary to place her under general anesthesia for the remainder of the procedure. Experience shows that this process can be challenging, and there are frequent examples in clinical practice of inappropriate courses of action, where women have experienced unacceptable pain during their cesare…
