Anaesthesia for Obstetrics

This page refers specifically to provision of anaesthesia for caesarean section, as opposed to anaesthesia for surgery in the patient who just so happens to be pregnant.

The curriculum asks us about the following:

• Caesarean section


• Spinal anaesthesia
• Epidural top-up
• General anaesthesia


• Anaesthesia for other obstetric surgery (in brief)
