Observational Study of General Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery

This study is an observational registry collecting information about pregnant women (ages 15-55) who have a Cesarean delivery using general anesthesia. Researchers are not testing a new drug or treatment. Instead, they are gathering data from multiple hospitals to understand why general anesthesia is used for Cesarean deliveries, how it's managed, and what factors might lead to difficulties with breathing tubes (intubation). The goal is to learn more about the characteristics of these cases and how different hospitals' practices might affect the use of general anesthesia. This study aims to enroll 5000 participants.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Pregnant women aged 15-55 who have had a general anesthetic for Cesarean delivery

What this trial measures

  • Rates of General Anesthesia for Cesarean DeliveryUp to 5 years

    The rates of general anesthesia for cesarean delivery among the institutions in the cohort will be assessed. Descriptive analyses of etiologies of and management of general anesthetics for cesarean delivery will also be performed.

  • Univariate Association Between Facility Type and the Rate of General Anesthesia for Cesarean DeliveryUp to 5 years

    The association between facility type- non-academic affiliated private vs. academic affiliated private vs. military vs. academic (reference)- with a difference in rates of general anesthesia for cesarean delivery will be assessed.

  • Univariate Association Between SOAP Center of Excellence Designation and the Rate of General Anesthesia for Cesarean DeliveryUp to 5 years

    The association between SOAP center of excellence designation- yes (reference) vs. no- with a difference in rates of general anesthesia for cesarean delivery will be assessed.

  • Univariate Association Between Maternal Level of Care and the Rate of General Anesthesia for Cesarean AssociationUp to 5 years

    The association between maternal level of care- I vs. II vs. III vs. IV (reference)- with a difference in rates of general anesthesia for cesarean delivery will be assessed.

  • Univariate Association Between Annual Live Births and the Rate of General Anesthesia for Cesarean DeliveryUp to 5 years

    The association between increased numbers of annual live births (continuous variable) and a difference in rates of general anesthesia for cesarean delivery will be assessed.

  • Univariate Association Between Obstetric Anesthesiologist Coverage and the Rate of General Anesthesia for Cesarean DeliveryUp to 5 years

    The association between increased rates of labor and delivery floor coverage by obstetric anesthesiologists (continuous variable) and a difference in rates of general anesthesia for cesarean delivery will be assessed.

  • Univariate Association Between Institutional Policies for Labor Epidural Management and the Rate of General Anesthesia for Cesarean DeliveryUp to 5 years

    The association between the presence of institutional policies for labor epidural management- yes (reference) vs. no- and a difference in rates of general anesthesia for cesarean delivery will be assessed.
