Advantages of neuraxial anesthesia for cesarean delivery.

The letter in the Journal of Anesthesia discusses the advantages of neuraxial anesthesia for cesarean delivery in patients with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). A retrospective study compared neuraxial (NA) and general (GA) anesthesia in 425 patients, finding that NA resulted in lower periprocedural bleeding, reduced need for blood transfusions, shorter operation time, and postoperative length of stay. However, the study lacks details on anesthetic drugs used, neonatal and maternal adverse events, group assignment criteria, and methods for estimating blood loss, highlighting the need for further research in this area.
