The comparison of caesarean section bleeding between volatile and total intravenous anaesthesia

AUTHORS: Shimada, Kensuke et al  European Journal of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care 2(2):p e0021, April 2023. BACKGROUND Volatile anaesthesia may increase blood loss because of the uterine-relaxing effect of the volatile anaesthetics during caesarean section under general anaesthesia. RESULTS We identified 26 585 women, including 19 320 in the volatile anaesthesia group (mean age = 32.9 […]
