Anaesthetic-related maternal deaths have largely been attributed to complications of general anaesthesia. In our unit a retrospective audit conducted between 1997 and 2002 showed a 9.4% conversion rate to general anaesthesia for caesarean sections amongst women with epidural catheters in-situ. The Royal College of Anaesthetists has stated that <3% of cases should need conversion to general anaesthesia. To improve our figures, from 2004 to 2007 we prospectively audited all caesarean sections requiring general anaesthesia.
