Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
For such reasons, the European and American Societies of Regional Anesthesia jointly issued COVID 19 recommendations stating that regional anesthesia should be preferred over general anesthesia whenever possible, and practice recommendations for regional anesthesia during the pandemic have already been published.
In addition, the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the Society for Obstetric Anesthesiology and Perinatology advise doctors to "consider using neuraxial methods rather than general anesthesia for most cesarian deliveries." In many facilities, single-shot spinal anesthesia is the preferred method for cesarian section. It delivers great anesthesia because of its ease of use, rapid onset of sensory and motor blockage, reliability, ease of mastering, and capacity to provide optimal surgical circumstances; it also minimizes the hazards of general anesthetic while enhancing partition satisfaction. In addition, when compared to general anesthesia, the risk of complications such intraoperative bleeding, surgical site infection, and postoperative pain is lower with spinal anesthesia.
In 1899, August Bier proclaimed spinal anesthesia to be a failure, stating, "Experienced professional, correct technique, single puncture, adequate CSF backflow, effective anesthetic agent!" So, why did it fail? -Capriciousness!!" Single shot spinal anesthesia failure may occur when the subarachnoid space is not reached, or analgesia is not sufficient for surgery after injection. The issue is that if anesthesia fails during COVID 19 procedures, we'll need to develop a new approach for supplementing anesthesia and analgesia cautiously, quickly, and meticulously.
Failed spinal anesthesia can be partial or complete. If anesthesia and analgesia are not achieved within ten minutes after successful intrathecal injection, the bupivacaine spinal anesthetic is regarded to have failed. Partial failure was defined as insufficient extent, quality, or duration of pharmacological action for that procedure, while complete failure was described as no sensory or motor blockage.
Failure of spinal anesthesia necessitates extreme caution, judgment, and technique. If surgery has not yet begun, a partial or total failure can be managed by increasing the Trendelenburg position or administering a second spinal anesthetic. However, if the surgery has already begun, it can be managed by changing positions, injecting local anaesthetic in the operation area by the surgeon, administering sedation with oxygen, opioids, benzodiazepines, or ketamine, and then converting the anesthesia to general anesthesia.
The failure rate of spinal anesthesia is widely distributed, according to researches, ranging from 1 to 17 percent. During spinal anesthesia, the Royal College of Anesthetics proposes a failure rate of 3% in emergencies and 1% for elective procedures. The goal of this study was to determine failure rate and solutions for spinal anesthesia in the context of a COVID 19 pandemic.

SARS-CoV-2 pregnant women
After receiving approval from the local ethics committee and permission to use the hospital archives, we included records of spinal anesthesia performed on confirmed SARS- CoV-2 patients in the Ankara City Hospital between April 2020 and February 2021, as well as related data, in our study. Patients who did not have their data gathered, or whose operation took more than 3 hours due to any reason, were excluded from the study
