Anesthesia-related complications in obstetric patients could be catastrophic and impact the lives of both the parturient and the neonate. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency, temporal trend, and risk factors of anesthesia-related adverse events during hospitalization for delivery in Canada. ⋯ The incidence of anesthesia-related adverse events in obstetric patients in Canada is low and declining. High vigilance is required in parturients undergoing Cesarean delivery, receiving general anesthesia, and those with pre-existing medical conditions.
