Background: Spinal needle fracture during spinal anaesthesia is a rare but potentially serious complication, particularly in obstetric practice where neuraxial techniques are frequently used. We report a series of three cases of spinal needle fracture during attempted spinal anaesthesia for caesarean delivery and describe a common technical mechanism and management approach.

Case series: Three patients with obesity had an attempted spinal anaesthetic for caesarean delivery with a fine-gauge pencil-point spinal needle through an introducer. In all cases, fracture occurred during needle redirection while the introducer remained stationary. The neuraxial attempt was abandoned and caesarean delivery proceeded under general anaesthesia in all three cases. Postpartum imaging with computed tomography was used to localise the retained fragments, which were subsequently removed surgically. Neurologic assessment during admission and follow-up at two weeks and one month demonstrated no neurologic deficits in any patient.

Conclusion: Spinal needle fracture can occur when redirection of a fine spinal needle is attempted through a fixed introducer. Awareness of this mechanism, careful technique, and early imaging are essential to reduce risk and guide management in this rare complication.

背景:脊髓麻醉期间的脊髓针骨折是一种罕见但潜在的严重并发症,特别是在经常使用神经轴技术的产科实践中。我们报告了三例在剖宫产脊柱麻醉期间发生的脊髓针断裂,并描述了一种常见的技术机制和处理方法。病例系列:3例肥胖患者在剖宫产手术中尝试脊髓麻醉,使用细细的铅笔尖脊柱针通过引线。在所有病例中,骨折发生在针重定向时,而介绍器保持静止。三例患者均在全身麻醉下放弃了经轴穿刺的尝试,进行了剖宫产。使用产后计算机断层成像定位残留碎片,随后手术切除。入院时的神经系统评估和随访2周和1个月均未发现患者神经系统缺损。结论:当试图通过固定的引入器重定向细针头时,可能发生脊柱骨折。了解这种机制、谨慎的技术和早期成像对于降低这种罕见并发症的风险和指导治疗至关重要。

Introduction: Optimal fluid resuscitation strategies in PPH are unknown. This planned secondary analysis describes fluid resuscitation during OBS Plus, a study designed to characterise PPH coagulopathy. The hypothesis was that the volume of fluid resuscitation equalled the volume of blood loss. Primary outcome was the ratio of clear fluid infused: blood loss.

Methods: Patients recruited into the OBS Plus study with available fluid infusion data and measured blood loss ≥ 1000 mL were included. Clinical management was guided by a PPH care bundle incorporating bedside testing of coagulation. Fluid resuscitation was at the discretion of the clinical team. Infusions commenced 1 h before to 1 h after PPH were analysed.

Results: Between 2017 and 2019, 495 patients with PPH ≥ 1000 mL were recruited. 67/495 (13.5%) were excluded for missing data. Clear fluid infusions were crystalloid, 426/428 (99.5%) and colloid, 39/428 (9.1%). Blood product transfusions were red blood cells, 40/428 (9.4%); fresh frozen plasma 3/428 (0.7%); platelets 5/428 (1.1%). Overall median ratio clear fluids: blood loss was 858:1000 mL with blood products contributing to resuscitation volumes in massive PPH (≥ 2500 mL). Fluid volumes ≥ 3500 mL were only infused in massive PPH. No patients required renal replacement therapy or respiratory support for fluid overload.

Discussion: Inappropriate clear fluid resuscitation may cause fluid overload or renal injury. In this report, no patient required respiratory or renal support and median fluid resuscitation volume was approximately equal to blood loss. The incidence of coagulopathy in OBS Plus should be interpreted in this context.

简介:最佳的液体复苏策略在PPH是未知的。这项计划中的二次分析描述了OBS Plus期间的液体复苏,这是一项旨在表征PPH凝血病的研究。假设液体复苏的量等于失血量。主要观察指标为清液输注量与失血量之比。方法:纳入OBS Plus研究的患者均有可用的输液数据,且测量失血量≥1000 mL。临床管理以PPH护理包为指导,包括床边凝血试验。液体复苏是由临床小组决定的。PPH前1 h至PPH后1 h开始注射。结果:在2017年至2019年期间,招募了495名PPH≥1000 mL的患者。67/495(13.5%)因数据缺失被排除。透明液输注为结晶型426/428(99.5%),胶体型39/428(9.1%)。输血的血制品为红细胞,40/428 (9.4%);新鲜冷冻血浆3/428 (0.7%);血小板5/428(1.1%)。清液:失血量的总体中位数比例为858:1000 mL,血液制品有助于大量PPH(≥2500 mL)的复苏量。液量≥3500ml仅在大量PPH中输注。没有患者需要肾脏替代治疗或呼吸支持。讨论:不适当的清液复苏可能导致液体超载或肾损伤。在本报告中,没有患者需要呼吸或肾脏支持,中位液体复苏量大约等于失血量。OBS Plus患者凝血功能障碍的发生率应在此背景下进行解释。

Background

Severe postoperative pain after caesarean delivery may delay recovery by impeding mobilisation and activities of daily living and may also interfere with feeding and caregiving of the infant. This study aimed to describe maternal recovery after caesarean delivery and investigate the association between severe pain within the first 24 h after surgery and impaired mobilisation, breastfeeding, and overall quality of recovery.

Methods

This is a planned secondary analysis on a nationwide prospective cohort study across 19 centers in Denmark, with repeated patient-reported outcomes collected throughout the early postoperative hours and days postpartum, analysing recovery outcomes using multivariable regression and multiple imputation for missing data.

Results

Of 583 included patients, 64.6% reported severe pain (numeric rating scale ≥ 7) within the initial 24 h after caesarean delivery. The mean recovery score (ObsQoR-10, range 0–100) was 59.13 ± 13.0 vs. 70.55 ± 12.8 (adjusted difference −11.01, 95% CI −13.40 to −8.62; P < 0.001) in patients with vs. without severe pain, respectively. Severe pain was associated with reduced likelihood of walking independently (86% vs. 94%, adjusted OR 0.43, 95% CI 0.2 to 0.9; P = 0.030), and ability to independently breastfeed (65% vs. 75%, adjusted OR 0.61, 95% CI 0.4 to 0.9; P = 0.037) 24 h after caesarean delivery.

Conclusions

Severe pain during the first 24 h after caesarean delivery is associated with significant and clinically relevant impaired patient-reported outcome measures of recovery, mobilisation and breastfeeding. These findings support the importance of adequate post-caesarean analgesia for improving maternal recovery.
背景:剖宫产后严重的术后疼痛可能会阻碍活动和日常生活活动,从而延迟恢复,也可能影响婴儿的喂养和护理。本研究旨在描述剖宫产后产妇的恢复情况,并调查术后24小时内剧烈疼痛与活动能力受损、母乳喂养和整体恢复质量之间的关系。方法:这是一项针对丹麦19个中心的全国性前瞻性队列研究的计划二级分析,在术后早期和产后几天内收集重复的患者报告结果,使用多变量回归和对缺失数据的多重代入分析恢复结果。结果583例纳入的患者中,64.6%的患者在剖宫产后最初24小时内报告了剧烈疼痛(数值评定量表≥7)。有无剧烈疼痛患者的平均恢复评分(ObsQoR-10,范围0-100)分别为59.13±13.0和70.55±12.8(校正差为- 11.01,95% CI为- 13.40至- 8.62;P < 0.001)。严重疼痛与剖宫产后24小时独立行走可能性降低(86%对94%,校正OR 0.43, 95% CI 0.2 ~ 0.9; P = 0.030)和独立母乳喂养能力降低(65%对75%,校正OR 0.61, 95% CI 0.4 ~ 0.9; P = 0.037)相关。结论:剖宫产后24小时内的剧烈疼痛与患者报告的恢复、活动和母乳喂养的预后指标明显受损相关。这些发现支持充分的剖腹产后镇痛对改善产妇康复的重要性。

Respecting patient autonomy can present complex challenges in obstetric anesthesia, particularly when a mother desires safe maternal-fetal care but is unable to cooperate due to psychological barriers. The Ulysses contract is a framework that allows patients to consent to treatment in advance if they are to lack decision making capacity later. This case illustrates a unique implementation of the Ulysses contract in an obstetric patient in which involvement of early multidisciplinary support was paramount to allow safe and timely medical care that aligned with the patient’s wishes.
在产科麻醉中,尊重患者的自主权可能会带来复杂的挑战,特别是当母亲希望安全的母婴护理,但由于心理障碍而无法合作时。尤利西斯合同是一个框架,允许患者在以后缺乏决策能力的情况下提前同意治疗。这一案例说明了尤利西斯合同在一名产科病人中的独特执行情况,其中早期多学科支助的参与至关重要,以便根据病人的意愿提供安全和及时的医疗服务。

Background

Transgender and gender-diverse individuals are increasingly accessing obstetric services, yet evidence relating to their intrapartum care remains limited. This study surveyed obstetric anaesthetists practising in the United Kingdom (UK) to explore experience, training, departmental policies, and perspectives on language and care.

Methods

An anonymous thirteen-question online survey was distributed to members of the Obstetric Anaesthetists’ Association (OAA) in June 2025. Quantitative responses were summarised descriptively, and free-text responses were reviewed by recurring topics.

Results

The response rate was low (13.7%) and a total of 262 responses were analysed. Most respondents were consultants, and nearly half had more than ten years’ experience. Formal training was uncommon, and almost half reported never providing intrapartum care to a transgender patient. Few reported departmental policies, and comfort levels varied. Most believed inclusive language improved care.

Conclusions

This survey of UK-based OAA members demonstrated gaps in experience, and systems support for transgender and gender-diverse intrapartum care, and lack of training in transgender obstetric anaesthesia care, alongside the importance of respectful, patient-centred communication.
背景:越来越多的跨性别者和性别多样化的个体获得产科服务,但与他们的分娩护理有关的证据仍然有限。本研究调查了在英国(UK)执业的产科麻醉师,以探索经验、培训、部门政策和对语言和护理的看法。方法于2025年6月向产科麻醉师协会(OAA)会员发放一份包含13个问题的匿名在线调查。定量的回答是描述性的总结,自由文本的回答是通过反复出现的主题进行审查。结果回复率较低(13.7%),共分析262份回复率。大多数受访者是顾问,近一半的人有十年以上的工作经验。正规培训并不常见,几乎一半的人报告从未为变性患者提供过分娩时护理。很少有人报告部门的政策,而且舒适度各不相同。大多数人认为包容性语言改善了护理。这项对英国OAA成员的调查显示,跨性别和性别多样化的分娩护理在经验和系统支持方面存在差距,缺乏跨性别产科麻醉护理培训,以及尊重、以患者为中心的沟通的重要性。

Background

Combined spinal epidural (CSE) and dural puncture epidural (DPE) procedures have become increasingly utilized for labor analgesia, though no standards exist on which spinal needle to use. It has been demonstrated that pencil-point needles reduce the rate of postdural puncture headaches; however, there is no consensus on the optimal size to minimize headache risk while maximizing analgesia.

Methods

A single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted of parturients receiving CSE or DPE for neuraxial labor analgesia between 2018 and 2023 to identify the postdural puncture headache rate with intended (but not unintended) dural puncture.

Results

A total of 10,459 CSE and DPE procedures were performed during the study period, with CSE most commonly performed (91%). For CSE, 27G needle was used in 69% of cases, and for DPE, 25G needle was used in nearly two-thirds of cases. Fifty-four patients (0.52%) experienced a postdural puncture headache (without evidence of unintended dural puncture with epidural needle). Postdural puncture headache occurred more frequently with 25G needles than with 27G needles (0.73% vs. 0.41%), corresponding to a risk ratio of 0.56 (95% CI 0.34–0.92; P=0.029)).

Conclusions

There was a small but statistically significant increase in the incidence of postdural puncture headache when comparing rates with use of 25G vs. 27G needles during CSE or DPE. However, the clinical significance of this modest increase must be weighed against the potential benefit of improved analgesia with the use of larger-gauge (25G) pencil-point spinal needles.
背景:脊髓硬膜外穿刺术(CSE)和硬膜外穿刺术(DPE)已越来越多地用于分娩镇痛,尽管没有标准的脊髓针的使用。研究表明,铅笔针可以降低硬脊膜穿刺后头痛的发生率;然而,对于最小化头痛风险同时最大化止痛效果的最佳尺寸尚无共识。方法采用单中心回顾性队列研究,对2018 - 2023年接受CSE或DPE进行轴向分娩镇痛的产妇进行研究,以确定有意(非意外)硬脊膜穿刺后头痛发生率。结果在研究期间共进行了10459例CSE和DPE手术,其中以CSE手术最为常见(91%)。对于CSE, 69%的病例使用27G针头,对于DPE,近三分之二的病例使用25G针头。54例(0.52%)患者出现硬膜穿刺后头痛(无硬膜外穿刺针意外穿刺)。25G针头比27G针头更容易发生硬脊膜后穿刺头痛(0.73% vs. 0.41%),相应的风险比为0.56 (95% CI 0.34-0.92; P=0.029)。结论:在CSE或DPE中,25G针与27G针的发生率相比,硬脊膜后穿刺头痛的发生率略有增加,但有统计学意义。然而,这种适度增加的临床意义必须与使用更大口径(25G)铅笔尖脊柱针改善镇痛的潜在益处进行权衡。
