Windrim, R., Carvalho, J.C., Nguyen-Lu, N., Allen, L., Kingdom, J., Balki, M.
(Can J Anaesth. 2016;63(11):1233–1244) The main aim of this retrospective cohort study of 50 consecutive cases at the authors’ institution between 2000 and 2012 was to analyze the impact of mode of anesthesia on maternal and neonatal outcomes in patients with invasive placentation undergoing cesarean delivery (CD). In the cohort, 25 women (50%) underwent elective CD, while the remaining had unplanned CD (50%); 34 of these women (68%) underwent surgery under regional anesthesia (RA) while the other 16 received general anesthesia (GA) (32%). Of these 50 patients with invasive placentation, 36 (72%) required cesarean hysterectomies (CHyst).
