Risk factors for conversion to general anesthesia for urgent cesarean among women with labor epidural analgesia: a retrospective case-control study.
Abstract
General anesthesia for cesarean is associated with an increased risk of maternal morbidity compared with neuraxial anesthesia. Reducing the rate of general anesthesia for urgent cesarean in women with epidural analgesia may improve maternal outcomes. Our objective was to identify the rate and factors associated with the conversion to general anesthesia for urgent cesarean among women with labor epidural analgesia.
