Placenta previa: a 22-year analysis

Article Abstract:

Regional anesthesia during childbirth may be safe for women with placenta previa. Placenta previa occurs when the placenta does not attach to the uterine wall in the correct place. In a study of 514 women with placenta previa, general anesthesia caused greater blood loss and increased the need for blood transfusions compared to regional anesthesia.
