Real-time ultrasound-guided epidural anesthesia for cesarean section in a parturient with achondroplasia
Published in The Journal of International Medical Research
Achondroplasia is a type of disproportionate dwarfism with short limbs and a normal-sized torso. This condition results in a potential spinal abnormality and a difficult airway may increase the anesthetic risk, not only in neuraxial anesthesia, but also in general anesthesia. We report a 25-year-old primigravida with achondroplasia who underwent ce...

Birth by caesarean section and educational achievement in adolescents.
Published in The Australian & New Zealand journal of obstetrics & gynaecology

To determine whether birth by caesarean section is associated with secondary school educational achievement. Whole-population administrative data were used from anonymised indiv...
Increased maternal body mass index is associated with prolonged anaesthetic and surgical times for caesarean delivery bu...
Published in The Australian & New Zealand journal of obstetrics & gynaecology
Obesity is associated with higher surgical and anaesthetic morbidity and difficulties. We aimed to investigate associations between maternal body mass index (BMI) and the in-theatre time taken to produce an anaesthetised state or to perform surgery for caesarean delivery. Using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiolog...

Published in The journal of obstetrics and gynaecology research
Twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) complicates approximately 10% of monochorionic twin pregnancies and is associated with almost 90% mortality if left untreated. Fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP) is the first-line therapy for TTTS, and an overall twin survival rate of 75% and at least one survival rate of 90% have been established. We repo...
