How Fast Are we? Speed of General Versus Spinal Anesthesia for Emergency Cesarean Delivery: A Simulation Based Study

NCT00966680 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The researchers wish to undertake a simulation based study to compare the speed of general versus spinal anesthesia for emergency cesarean delivery. Minutes may matter for the baby in an emergency. It is unknown which technique is quicker. Their hypothesis is that surgical anesthesia can be achieved as quickly with spinal as with general anesthesia.
