    The choice of anesthesia in parturients with severe scoliosis undergoing an elective cesarean section (C-section) is associated with potential risks for both mother and fetus and presents a challenge for the anesthesiologist when considering the type of anesthesia that should be used. Alterations in the maternal physiology and potential perioperative complications associated with this comorbidity can cause difficulties when both general and spinal anesthesia are used. After reviewing all risk factors associated with both types of anesthesia, we consider that a single shot spinal anesthesia can be a successful type of anesthesia in severely scoliotic individuals, especially in those with pulmonary compromise. Here we present a successful case of parturient undergoing а spinal anesthesia for C-section performed at the University Hospital for Genecology in Skopje.

    In modern obstetrics there has been a need for safe, efficient, and easy-to-use systemic analgesia with a rapid and short onset, and without an effect on either mother or fetus. Although epidural analgesia remains the gold standard for labor analgesia, opioids applied intravenously can be very useful in cases when epidural analgesia is contraindicated, refused by the patient, or in the absence of skilled anesthesiologist. Closest to the ideal for systemic analgesia is remifentanil, a potent, ultra short-acting μ-1 agonist, which is rapidly metabolized in both mother and fetus. This article, through a literature review, will present the efficacy of remifentanil, its pharmacokinetics, the most effective dose, the safety for both mother and fetus and satisfaction for the mother. The results available show that remifentanil can be quite a satisfactory alternative to neuroaxial analgesia, hence taking its deserved place in modern obstetrics. A low number of reported side effects from mother and child are enough to open a field for future research.
