Best practice in obstetric general anaesthesia: an umbrella review of pharmacological strategies for induction of general anaesthesia
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to systematically review and summarize the evidence regarding pharmacological strategies for the induction of general anaesthesia in caesarean deliveries, focusing on maternal and neonatal outcomes. Their findings suggest that short-acting opioids and propofol are safe and effective choices, while rocuronium is a viable alternative to suxamethonium for intubation, although the evidence is limited by the exclusion of high-risk pregnancies and emergency situations.
