Abstract
(Anesthesiology. 2019;130(2):237–246) Neuraxial anesthesia (ie, spinal or epidural anesthesia), rather than general anesthesia, is recommended for most women undergoing cesarean delivery. There are a paucity of data regarding the role of obstetric anesthesiologist specialization in influencing anesthesia choice and outcomes for cesarean delivery. Knowledge of associations of anesthesia subspecialist care (compared with generalist anesthesiologist care) and patterns of anesthesia use may improve staffing in health systems, inform accreditation standards, and determine future purchasing by health care payers. This study compared use of general anesthesia for cesarean delivery among patients cared for by generalist versus obstetric-specialized anesthesiologists.
