cases include fetal indications (prolonged fetal bradycar-

CLINICAL URGENCY AND ENHANCING
RESEARCH
One- third of the nearly four million annual births in the
United States occur via CD.1 e proportion of CDs conducted under true “STAT” emergent conditions is uncertain,
perhaps because of variation in the denition of “emergency
CD” (EmCD).2 Aclassication scheme developed by Lucas
et al.,3 and subsequently adopted nationally in the United
Kingdom, tightly links the urgency of CD to the level of maternal or fetal physiologic compromise.4 e scheme addresses
the clinical importance of unambiguously communicating the
perceived urgency of CD in order to reduce misunderstanding
among healthcare team members. It also facilitates quality outcomes research regarding the eect of timely delivery for life-

cation throughout this chapter.

instrumental delivery), potentially reversible (iatrogenic
uterine tachysystole, postneuraxial anesthesia, aortocaval
compression), or unknown.

In one study, only 39 of 236
(16.6%) Category 1 CDs for fetal bradycardia in singleton pregnancies were deemed to have irreversible causes
and there was an inverse relationship between cord arterial
blood gas parameters and bradycardia- to- delivery interval in this group.6 is correlation was not observed in the
other two groups (reversible and unknown), nor did those

Several investigators have used rigorous classication
of CD urgency in reporting the incidence of Category
1 CDs and the use of general anesthesia for those cases.
Over a 4- year period (2000– 2004) with 4,158 CDs at a
tertiary academic center, 324 (8%) were urgency category

1.Atotal of 144 (44%) of these STAT CD surgeries were
with general anesthesia (GA), either as the primary technique (115 cases, or 80%) or as a secondary rescue technique for failed neuraxial anesthesia (29 cases, or 20%).7
Another report from a tertiary obstetrics center identied
114 “crash” CDs in a 1- year period, which represented
3.4% of 3,371 cesareans, and 0.7% of the total 16,267
deliveries over a 1- year period.8 Six years later, the same
hospital reported similar results, nding 98“crash” CDs
(2.7% of all CDs).9 ree indications— fetal bradycardia,
cord prolapse, and abruption— accounted for 87%8 and
95%9 of cases, respectively. General anesthesia was used in
roughly 90% of cases across both studies. Another large
academic center reported on 236 Category 1 CDs, representing 5.7% of all CDs, and 0.9% of 26,028 deliveries
in a 3- year period.6 In a related study, nearly half of 1,095
CDs performed with GA reported from 13 Australian
hospitals during an 18- month period (2005– 2007) were
classied as Category 1.10 In a series of 6,393 CDs over
an 8- year period at an academic center, 851 (13.3%) were
conducted under GA, 676 of which were performed with
GA for reasons other than failed attempt to perform neuraxial anesthesia.
11
In the late 1980s, risk of maternal anesthetic death was
reported to be 17 times greater with GA than with regional
anesthesia.12 is risk ratio has steadily declined to 6.7 in
the early 1990s, and 1.7 during 1997– 2002.13 ese analyses, based on death certicate data, lacked access to confounding factors, such as serious maternal comorbidity or
urgency of surgery. National maternal mortality data from
the United Kingdom are accepted as providing unequivocal evidence of superior safety with regional anesthesia
compared with GA, and form the basis for quality indicators.14 Arecent analysis of 257,000 deliveries, including
5,332 GA cases from 30 American institutions, from 2004
to 2009, used rigorous methods to examine outcomes, and
demonstrated a high degree of safety of GA for CD.15 e
vast majority of severe anesthesia complications in this
report occurred among parturients undergoing neuraxial
While the incidence of dicult and failed intubation is
known to be signicantly higher in parturients than in nonpregnant patients,
10,25,26
the outcomes following dicult
and failed intubation appear to have improved in recent
decades, possibly due to implementation of failed tracheal
intubation algorithms27 and introduction and use of supraglottic airways as primary rescue devices.
10,26– 28
With this
evolving knowledge regarding safety outcomes dierences
between GA and neuraxial anesthesia, providers must look
beyond the single issue of airway management when considering the optimal technique for STAT CD— GA may be
the best choice in some situations.
29
Despite the improved safety of GA in parturients, most
providers prefer to use neuraxial anesthesia during CD for
a variety of reasons.29 General anesthesia is a more complex
technique, involving more steps and drugs than neuraxial
anesthesia. It drastically alters the mother’s experience of
childbirth— she oen is whisked to the OR and submitted
to bladder catheter insertion, abdominal prep and drape,
preoxygenation via facemask, and the din of a large team
of providers in crisis mode, all while wide awake, fearing for
her baby’s life and/ or her own. ese are her last recalled
moments before GA is induced. Her partner and family are
usually not invited to the delivery, le behind to await news
of the outcome of the emergency surgery. Also, GA delays
mother– newborn bonding and can impact postoperative
analgesia.
In summary, GA is oen the anesthetic technique of
choice in STAT EmCD, with benets of reliability, speed,
and, in most cases, safety. ough overall quite rare, when
severe anesthetic complications or mortality do occur,
hypoxemia and/ or pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents are the typical causes, and substandard care is nearly

complications of anesthesia, and most oen to maternal

Additionally, similar closed claims analyses highlight the

insuciency with associated diminished margin of safety
for fetal oxygen delivery. In such situations, the anesthesiologist must monitor for, prevent, and/ or correct the neuraxial anesthesia- induced cascade of maternal hypotension,
impaired fetal oxygen delivery, and fetal decompensation
that may prompt STAT CD. Early recognition of fetal

time for immediate operative delivery.7 Several attributes of
labor epidural analgesic performance help to predict success
or failure in converting it to a CD anesthetic block.

e need for epidural redose for inadequate labor analgesia,
the number of top- up doses needed, and higher labor pain
scores during the 2 hours before top- up for CD are leading risk factors for failure of successful conversion. Another
risk factor is a cesarean classied as Category 1. Other
potential contributing factors that have been investigated
are duration of labor epidural analgesia, use of combined
spinal- epidural, and obesity; however, the impact of these
to overall risk is unclear.34 In women without preexisting epidural, “rapid sequence spinal anesthesia” may be an
option in well- practiced hands and with experienced team
familiar with this technique.

Despite skill and experience with neuraxial anesthesia for STAT CD, the urgency
of Category 1 CDs oen compels the use ofGA.

Importantly, maternal physiologic parameters falling
outside acceptable ranges may signify decompensation well
before progression to a life- threatening status.17 Obstetric
early warning systems require front- line providers to notify
A number of obstetric and maternal factors may place the
parturient at increased risk for STAT CD, including fetal
growth restriction, abnormal fetal surveillance parameters,
postdates, diabetes, multiple gestation, and trial of labor aer

CD, the astute obstetric anesthesiologist seeks out patients
with these risk factors and considers the followingitems:

triggering a focused assessment and action plan and hopefully avoiding development of a life- threatening crisis.
17,39,40
Similarly, an obstetric emergency team rapid communication
alert system has been implemented to recruit the anesthesiology team in a timely fashion to permit rapid preparation
of the parturient for GA or successful conversion of epidural
labor to CD anesthesia.41 When summoned for STAT CD,

BOX 44.2 CONTINUED
• Administer oxytocin and antibiotics, if the latter had not been administered
• Insert orogastric tube (OGT) and evacuate stomach contents as soon as possible
• Consider repeating a full, less time- pressured, and deliberate time- out procedure
Emergence
• If NDNMB used, reverse and assess residualNMB
• When surgery is completed, apply suction to OGT, andremove
• Extubate trachea when patient is fully emerged
• Transfer to recovery room, ensuring physiologic stability and adequate analgesia
• Arrange for adequate post- op analgesia orders, in absence of long- acting neuraxial opioid.

unprofessional or nervous, more oen reported their birth
experience as generally negative, had feelings of disappointment or shame in themselves, experienced protracted
fatigue, and feared intensely for their baby’s life. Measures
have been recommended to help detect women at risk,62
including
• Careful history to detect prior traumatic events or
“failures”
• Good communication during the delivery, to provide
1. If, based on airway assessment, you strongly suspect
diculty with intubation, how does this aect
yourplan?
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of
“rapid sequence spinal” if you anticipate airway
management diculty? How would you go about
quickly determining whether “rapid sequence spinal” is
appropriate? What conversation would you have with
the obstetrician?
the mother with needed sense of control, foster trust,
and oer choices, as much as is possible
• Ensuring excellent pain control,and
• Engaging in discussion with her regarding the birth
experience.
CONCLUSION
Conduct of GA for STAT CD carries risk for the parturient.
Airway management approaches and skills using advanced
airway rescue devices mitigate those risks, but maintaining
individual and team skills is important. Key to safety is a
state of readiness for emergencies, well- developed routines/
protocols, and excellent teamwork and communication
