Emergent caesarian section and Pre-Eclamptic Toxemia - General vs Regional Anaesthesia

Abstract

The eclamptic patients pose an uncommen yet foreboding challenge for the obstetric anaesthesiologist. Selection of regional anaesthesia for severely pre-eclamptic patients requiring caesarian section is still controversial. In this review, we attempt to outline the advantages and disadvantages of various anaesthetic techniques used for severely pre-eclamptic patients undergoing caesarian section.
