During caesarean delivery under spinal anaesthesia, maintaining maternal systolic BP >β90% of baseline, compared with >β80% of baseline, with boluses of noradrenaline reduces the incidence of neonatal acidaemia, maternal hypotension and nausea and vomiting.

With so many nerve blocks to choose from, itβs important to consider the VALUE of each regional anaesthesia technique.
π
How do you determine the value of a nerve block?
β’ ease of performance
β’ safety
β’ versatility
β’ ease of learning
β’ efficacy
β’ resource requirement

Anyone else having an issue? :)
If weβre doing a C/S in a labouring patient do we use the BP during labour or the last pre labour BP which is frequently not available to us.
Blood pressure targets in caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia - what systolic BPs should you aim for?

Giving a small dose of dexmedetomidine (between 0.25 and 0.35 micrograms per kilogram of body weight) during surgery may help reduce confusion afterwards but giving more than this does not seem to help.
