A case of extremely increased maternal age cesarean section infected by Covid 19

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a global health emergency since its declaration as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Advanced maternal age is considered a high-risk pregnancy and therefore may affect the severity of Covid-19¹. Data regarding the management and outcome of a cesarean section in an extremely increased aged woman with Covid-19 disease are limited to a few case reports. In this case report, we discuss the perioperative management of an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cesarean section in a 48-year-old woman with Covid-19 infection. Continue reading →

Direction of the Whitacre 26G needle aperture and level of subdural blockade achieved by ropivacaine 0.75% in planned caesarean section

The scope of this study was to investigate if changing the direction of the Whitacre 26G needle aperture in regional anaesthesia during planned caesarean section produces a difference in the dose-response curves of the level of subdural blockade achieved by ropivacaine 0.75% and a standard dose of opioid. One hundred and twenty healthy parturients were blindly randomised in two groups, with 5 subgroups of 12 women each.
