An observational prospective cohort study of incidence and characteristics of failed spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section
International Journal of Obstetric Anesthesia , 06/29/09

Sng BL et al. - Spinal anaesthesia using bupivacaine 10 mg with morphine 100 microg produces reliable anaesthesia for elective caesarean section. Postpartum sterilization involves exteriorisation of the uterus with additional surgical manipulation and hence may necessitate analgesic supplementation. The initial use of a combined spinal-epidural technique or the addition of intrathecal fentanyl or clonidine or an increased dose of local anaesthetic may be considered to decrease the incidence of intraoperative pain.
