[Spinal and epidural anaesthesia for caesarean section in patients with pre-eclampsia].
Neuraxial regional anaesthesia is now widely used in obstetric anaesthesia. Specifically, the rate of spinal anaesthesia increased considerably and is favoured for scheduled caesarean section. Former concerns to use regional anaesthetic techniques in non scheduled cases, e.g. spinal anaesthesia for pre-eclampsia are not supported by recent study data. Spinal and epidural anaesthesia are both safe in patients presenting with pre-eclampsia, if contraindications for neuraxial anaesthesia are taken into account.
