Conclusions The guest resident participated in more cesarean sections than the first one, and for this reason she performed more combined spinal/epidural anaesthesia procedures. Regional anesthesia and not general, is a favorite technique in cesarean sections. There is a much smaller rate of normal childbirths compared to cesarean sections in Greece. It is important to encourage the participation of doctors in training rigorous programs of education and to practice obstetric anaesthesia. Also, the effort in record keeping from doctors is a worthwhile practice.
