Randomized Controlled TrialColloid coload versus crystalloid coload to prevent maternal hypotension in women receiving prophylactic phenylephrine infusion during caesarean delivery: a randomised controlled trial.
The optimal fluid strategy to prevent maternal hypotension during caesarean delivery remains unclear. This study aim was to compare the incidence of post-spinal anaesthesia hypotension in women receiving either colloid or crystalloid coload in the setting of prophylactic phenylephrine infusion during caesarean delivery. ⋯ This study found no benefit of colloid coload compared with crystalloid coload for preventing maternal hypotension in the presence of prophylactic phenylephrine infusion during caesarean delivery.

Observational StudyValidation of an obstetric quality of recovery scoring tool (ObsQoR-11) after elective caesarean delivery in a developing country: a prospective observational study.
The obstetric quality of recovery scoring tool (ObsQoR-11) was developed and validated in the United Kingdom for use after elective and emergency caesarean delivery. Quality of recovery scoring tools validated in one country may not be valid in other countries with significant cultural, socio-economic and linguistic variations. The aim of the current study was to validate a Hindi version of the ObsQoR-11. ⋯ The Hindi version of the ObsQoR-11 questionnaire is a promising scoring tool to evaluate quality of recovery after elective caesarean delivery. Further research is needed to evaluate the Hindi tool in other institutions in India as well as in other languages.

Anesthesia providers' perspectives on abortion provision: deductive findings from a qualitative study.
A clinician's willingness to provide abortion care is complex. Anesthesia providers' experiences in providing anesthesia for abortion are not well studied. We aimed to explore anesthesia providers' perspectives on abortion provision. ⋯ Southeastern United States anesthesia providers hold a spectrum of personal views on abortion and are willing to provide anesthesia for second trimester abortion in specific clinical scenarios. Findings may inform future research or professional development activities, which are important efforts toward improving multidisciplinary abortion care.
