A practical evidence based approach
Preetham Suresh MD December 17, 2008
What are the indications for C/S?Should we give IVF prior to neuraxial?Should we use O2 during routine C/S?Is a spinal more effective than an epidural?
What is the ideal dose of epidural or IT narcotics?
What do I do if my epidural doesn’t work for C/S?
What induction agent should I use for GA?
