Study on Difficult Airway and Neuraxial Placement in Obstetric Patients
This study is looking at how often pregnant women experience difficulties with two common types of anesthesia during labor or C-sections: regional anesthesia (like an epidural, where medication is given in your back while you're awake) and general anesthesia (where you're given medication intravenously to go to sleep). Doctors want to understand how frequently it's challenging to perform these procedures. This information helps anesthesiologists plan the safest care for mothers. You can join if you are a pregnant woman coming in for a vaginal or C-section delivery, but not if your delivery is urgent or emergent. The study will measure how often these difficulties occur within 30 days.
