Not sure this is true. Certainly spinal anaesthesia became much less popular in the UK after Woolley & Roe, but since the late 80s it has become established as the modal form of anaesthesia for Caesarian section, displacing epidural anaesthesia. I think it is still under-used, for a variety of reasons - plenty of scope for wider application of a safe and effective technique. Moletrouser ( talk) 19:04, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
I think spinal vs general for Caesarean is primarily in order to have Mom awake for bonding with her baby as soon as possible after delivery. The justification of providing spinal anesthesia for Caesarean based on a high rate of failure of intubation seems anachronistic to me, based on data before the advent and widespread use of indirect visualization (Glidescope) techniques. In their review, Rucklidge et al. state that the widely quoted failure rate is probably an over-estimate:
"The incidence of failed obstetric intubation is widely reported to be around 1:300. It has been suggested that failure rate may be associated with the frequency with which general anaesthesia is provided for Caesarean section within different institutions. A recent retrospective audit from the UK found no cases of failed intubation in 3430 general anaesthetics for Caesarean section and the authors partly attributed this low incidence to the higher than average rate of obstetric general anaesthesia at their hospital resulting in greater experience of the technique."

Greetings: Hi, this is Kai Zhang, a medical student from the UCF College of Medicine. I will be working to edit this article as part of the WikiMedicine elective.
Intro- I will expand on the intro, adding information about and giving a summary of the highlights of the different sections
Medical uses- I will update the current indications for the use spinal anesthesia. I will also discuss and update some the contraindications for the procedure and alternative methods
Risks and complications- I will expand on the major and common complications of spinal anesthesia and discuss approaches for handling these complications
Technique- I will expand on the technique and incorporate some basic anatomy and discuss different patient positioning
Is there any chance that "File:Prinzip der Spinalanaesthesie.png" could have an English translation version? Dogman15 ( talk) 10:52, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
