Multicenter Study
Differential impacts of modes of anaesthesia on the risk of stroke among preeclamptic women who undergo Caesarean delivery: a population-based study.
This study compared the stroke-free survival rates and hazard ratios (HRs) for stroke between preeclamptic women who received general anaesthesia and those who received neuraxial anaesthesia for Caesarean section (CS). ⋯ In this study, general anaesthesia for CS delivery was associated with increased risk of stroke when compared with neuraxial anaesthesia in preeclamptic women.
