Spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean section. Bupivacaine associated with different doses of fentanyl: randomized clinical trial.

Objective: Assess patients submitted to elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia, and the efficacy of different doses of fentanyl associated with bupivacaine.

Methods: The study included 124 pregnant women randomly distributed into 4 groups (n = 31) according to different doses of fentanyl (15 μg, 10 μg, 7.5 μg), Groups I, II, and III, respectively, and control group IV, associated with 0.

Anesthesia technique and postpartum hemorrhage: a prospective cohort study.

Background And Objective: During the past few years, an increased number of postpartum hemorrhages have been noticed, even in high-income countries. It has been suggested that this escalation could be associated with increased obstetric interventions. Among such interventions, anesthesia is one of the most prevalent.

[Insulinoma and pregnancy: anesthesia and perioperative management].

Unlabelled: Insulinoma is a functional neuroendocrine tumor derived from beta cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans, usually solitary, benign, and curable with surgery (enucleation). It rarely occurs during pregnancy and is clinically manifested by hypoglycemia, particularly in the first trimester of pregnancy. During pregnancy, both conservative therapeutic measures (medication) and surgical treatment are challenging regarding the impossibility of studies on drug teratogenicity as well as the maternal-fetal repercussions during surgery, such as hypoglycemia and changes due to stress.

Regional anesthesia for cesarean section in obese pregnant women: a retrospective study.

Background And Objectives: The objective of the data gathering was to identify anesthetic techniques, and their difficulties and complications in patients with BMI ≥ 30 kg.m(-2) undergoing cesarean sections. The study intends to support the development of new protocols and more adequate conducts for this population of pregnant women.
