Do regional anaesthesia techniques prevent acid aspiration syndrome compared to general anaesthesia in patients undergoing caesarean section?
Do regional anaesthesia techniques prevent acid aspiration syndrome compared to general anaesthesia in patients undergoing caesarean section?
Regional anaesthesia is recommended over general anaesthesia to prevent acid aspiration syndrome during caesarean sections.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May favor regional over general anaesthesia in caesarean delivery to limit aspiration risk; leaves open need for prospective confirmation.
Acid aspiration syndrome still contributes to the few anaesthesia-related deaths in caesarean section. Although none of the numerous measures intended to prevent such fatalities is based on clear evidence, many different regimens are being used. As obstetric acid aspiration syndrome occurs mainly in general anaesthesia, using regional techniques wherever possible may be the most effective prophylactic measure.
