Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Caesarean section is the most frequently performed surgery in adults, with a total of 20 million procedures per year. More than 70% of cases are due to lack of labor progression, fetal distress, breech presentation or previous cesarean section. Obstetric anesthesia practice has substantially changed over the last 20 years. The main cause of this is the introduction of regional techniques to the detriment of general anesthesia, which has reduced maternal mortality due to complications such as gastric aspiration or difficulty in orotracheal intubation. In general, we can affirm that regional anesthesia is the most frequently used anesthetic technique for cesarean section, reserving general anesthesia for urgent or life-threatening situations.
