Propofol Spinal Procedural Sedation for Cesarean Section

Summary

Patient's safety and satisfaction are major concerns of anesthesiologists and obstetricians. According to evidence, guidelines and quality markers, regional anesthesia is preferred over general anesthesia in obstetric surgery. A high level of anxiety is present in obstetric patients preoperatively. Patients with high anxiety tend to prefer general anesthesia for cesarean section. The anxiety can be reduced variably by non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic methods. The evidence supports the benefits of procedural sedation for distressed, anxious pregnant women.
