Osteogenesis imperfecta is a congenital disorder resulting in multiple fractures and extremely short stature, usually necessitating cesarean delivery. Identical twins with severe osteogenesis imperfecta each of whom underwent a cesarean delivery with different anesthetic modalities are presented. A review of the literature and anesthetic options for cesarean delivery and postoperative analgesia for women with osteogenesis imperfecta are discussed.

The Obstetric Anaesthetists' Association (OAA) has facilitated national surveys in obstetric anaesthesia since 1998. We wanted to examine trends in OAA-approved surveys since this time. ⋯ Response rates to OAA-approved surveys have declined but remain acceptable despite an increase in the number of surveys performed. Most surveys were presented or published in some form.
