This chapter covers a wide spectrum of causes for collapse on the labour ward or in the emergency department, for the first steps in management. The latest guidance on the management of cardiac arrest which the obstetric anaesthetist will be required to immediately attend and initiate in a pregnant woman is described in detail, with the steps needed to progress to perimortem caesarean delivery if resuscitation is not immediately effective. The serious complications of regional anaesthesia; high blocks, total spinals, and local anaesthesia toxicity are emphasized. Anaphylaxis, magnesium toxicity, and management of trauma in the obstetric patient are also outlined.

Preoperative anxiety in patients under spinal anaesthesia may cause serious complications. We report a case of combined transient convulsion and severe hypotension immediately after spinal anaesthesia for caesarean delivery in a patient who presented with severe preoperative anxiety. Our patient’s consciousness and blood pressure recovered normally without any sequelae. However, preoperative anxiety can induce such complications, particularly in patients under regional anaesthesia. Therefore, early detection and deliberate management for preoperative anxiety are required for the patient’s safety and satisfaction.

Caudal anaesthesia and ilioinguinal block are effective, safe anaesthetic techniques for paediatric inguinal herniotomy. This review article aims to educate medical students about these techniques by examining their safety and efficacy in paediatric surgery, as well as discussing the relevant anatomy and pharmacology. The roles of general anaesthesia in combination with regional anaesthesia, and that of awake regional anaesthesia, are discussed, as is the administration of caudal adjuvants and concomitant intravenous opioid analgesia.
