Abstract

(Can J Anaesth. 2022;69:18–23) Childbirths are now the most common reason for hospitalization in Canada. Subsequently, cesarean delivery is becoming increasingly more common, representing 30% of all child deliveries. In addition, epidural analgesia now accounts for 60% of operative deliveries. Historically, most studies regarding anesthetic experience of infants and maternal individuals focus on mortality. Fortunately, recent analysis has shown the number of patients dying from anesthesia care has severely decreased, likely due to improvement with specialty training, airway management, airway monitoring, regional anesthesia use, and the standardization of safe practices through analysis and research. In order to improve neonatal and maternal care, the extent, frequency, and risk factors for anesthesia-related incidences must be assessed.
