Placenta accreta. A review of current anesthetic considerations.

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a potentially life-threatening disorder with unique anesthetic challenges, and its incidence has increased over the past decades. We review current guidelines and best practice evidence for antenatal diagnosis and preoperative evaluation, management pathways, multidisciplinary staff coordination, and surgery location. We address specific considerations for choice of anesthesia modality, the role of interventional radiology, and various techniques for minimizing hemorrhage for both planned and unplanned cases, as well as postoperative care for the PAS patient.
