Background: Continuous spinal anesthesia (CSA) offers precise, prolonged neuraxial anesthesia suitable for high-risk patients. This technique minimizes hemodynamic instability but comes with notable challenges. Vigilant catheter management is crucial to avoid complications, including the risk of catheter retention.

Background: Improvements in diagnostics and clinical care have allowed more women of childbearing age, suffering from neurological diseases, to safely have pregnancy, reducing peripartum complications. However, these patients remain at risk and are a constant challenge for anesthesiologists in the delivery room.

Methods: To assess the type of anesthesiologic management performed for delivery in obstetric patients with preexisting neurological disease and who reported significant neurological symptoms during pregnancy, a retrospective observational study was carried out between 1 October 2008 and 30 September 2021.

Background: Arterial switch operation (ASO) for dextro-transposition of the great arteries was developed four decades ago, and women with ASO have reached childbearing age. Although over 40% of the pregnant women who received ASO gave birth via cesarean delivery, detailed information about anesthesia management has not been reported. This study aimed to evaluate anesthesia and perioperative outcomes in pregnant women with ASO undergoing cesarean delivery.

Adhering to established guidelines, regional anesthesia (RA) and pain interventions are essential for preventing or minimizing the risk of complications. This study examines neurological complications that may arise when RA or pain interventions are performed without adherence to the clinical practice guidelines. This article aimed to emphasize the relationship between deviations from standards of care in RA and neurological outcomes.
