Abstract

Background Various interventions are used as prophylaxis for aspiration pneumonitis in obstetric anaesthesia. This review, based on a Cochrane systematic review currently being updated, examines whether interventions given before caesarean section reduce the risk of aspiration pneumonitis. Methods Twenty-two studies, involving 2658 women providing data in a usable format for meta-analysis were identified. Results Compared to no treatment or placebo, there was a significant reduction in the risk of intra-gastric pH
