Massive Hemoptysis Through Endotracheal Tube During Emergency Cesarean Delivery: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Severe pulmonary hemorrhage occurred through the endotracheal tube during an emergency cesarean delivery. Intubation trauma was excluded with fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Episodes of hemoptysis continued for 48 hours.

A randomised trial of the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block after caesarean delivery under general anaesthesia.

Context: Previous studies examining the efficacy of transversus abdominis plane block after caesarean section have mostly been in parturients under spinal anaesthesia.

Objectives: We postulated that the advantage of performing transversus abdominis plane block after caesarean section might be even more obvious after general anaesthesia, resulting in reduced 24-h consumption of morphine. DESIGN, SETTING, PATIENTS AND INTERVENTIONS: In this single centre, randomised double-blind controlled trial, 40 women who underwent caesarean delivery under general anaesthesia were allocated randomly to receive a transversus abdominis plane block or no block.
