Abstract

A survey of all German hospitals providing obstetric anaesthesia in 1997 (n = 1061, recovery rate 82% comprising 115 000 Caesarean sections revealed that most Caesarean sections (CS) are performed under general anaesthesia (GA). For elective CS, the average was 63%, and 82% for urgent (not emergency) section. Succinylcholine is the standard neuromuscular blocker for intubation. Of the regional techniques, epidural continuous anaesthesia (ED) is preferred for elective CS (59%) over subarachnoid (SA, 10%) and combined epidural and subarachnoid anaesthesia (CSE). In urgent CS, SA is used more often (56%) than ED (42%) and CSE. With increasing number of births per year, the use of regional techniques is more common.
