Labs and studies

  • Hgb/Hct if bleeding
  • Pregnancy test (if indicated)

Operating room setup

Patient preparation and premedication

Regional and neuraxial techniques

  • A T10 sensory level is sufficient
  • Spinal
  • Epidural
  • Combined spinal/epidural (CSE)

Intraoperative management

Monitoring and access

Induction and airway management

Positioning

Maintenance and surgical considerations

  • When cervix is grasped and dilated, patient may have excessive vagal nerve stimulation

Emergence

Postoperative management

Disposition

Pain management

Potential complications

  • Air embolism
    • Can occur with the use of gas dissension medium, although low-viscosity fluids are more commonly used today
  • Fluid overload
    • Can occur with the use of low-viscosity dissension media
  • Infection
  • Bleeding
