Spinal anaesthesia has evolved as the preferred anaesthetic technique for most cases of caesarean section. Having been extensively studied and refined over the years, there are few situations where a spinal is absolutely contraindicated. While general anaesthesia will always have a place in obstetrics, in experienced hands a spinal offers safety, efficacy and an improvement in maternal morbidity.
脊髓麻醉已发展成为大多数剖宫产病例的首选麻醉技术。多年来经过广泛研究和完善，几乎没有脊髓麻醉绝对禁忌的情况。虽然全身麻醉在产科中总会占有一席之地，但在经验丰富的医生手中，脊髓麻醉能提供安全性、有效性，并降低产妇发病率。
