147 Pain during caesarean a discussion with Matt
Update: 2025-12-08
Description
Hi everyone,
Pain during caesarean is a very challenging and distressing event – for the patient, their partner, the anaesthetist and all the staff present in theatre.
This week we catch up with Matt Rucklidge, who recently gave a presentation on this topic at the obstetric anaesthesia meeting in London. We discuss why this has become a “hot topic” in the anaesthesia world in recent times, what is the true incidence, and many other aspects of this difficult topic.
