Compared to single-shot spinal anaesthesia, the use of combined spinal-epidural anaesthesia (CSEA) for caesarean section has been shown to reduce by half the need to convert to general anaesthesia.1 However, a recent survey reported only 10.1% of women undergoing caesarean section received CSEA.2 Expense, slower insertion times and concerns regarding potential higher complication rates,3 may have limited the uptake of CSEA.
