Anesthetic Practices for Lower Segment Cesarean Section in the Sultanate of Oman: A National Survey.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background Over the years, obstetric anesthesia has evolved into a comprehensive sub-specialty. Several countries have their guidelines and recommendations for obstetric anesthesia. This survey aimed to describe the current obstetric anesthesia practices in the Sultanate of Oman by performing a questionnaire-based survey. Methods The Ministry of Health-Centre approved the survey for Studies and Research, Sultanate of Oman (MOH-CSR/25057). A Google Form with 25 questions (seven general questions and 18 specific questions) was initially shared in a WhatsApp group of members of the Oman Society of Anaesthesia and Critical Care (OSACC). Anesthesiologists who were not members were contacted directly and responses were recorded. Results Responses were accepted until midnight on December 31, 2023. The number of responses received was 66. Variations in practices like less compliance to Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways, use of oxytocin, and choice of intrathecal opioids were observed. Labor analgesia was not practiced by 30.3% of respondents. The majority of respondents did not follow international recommendations regarding the use of the uterotonic drug oxytocin. Conclusion A lot of heterogeneity in the practice of obstetric anesthesia in the Sultanate of Oman was observed. The limitations included the relatively low number of responses and many aspects that were missed in the survey. The findings of this survey will help in establishing a national task force for obstetric anesthesia, which will guide the members of the task force to develop practice guidelines based on international recommendations and the latest evidence.
