Although the rate of general anesthesia use for Cesarean delivery in Japan decreased gradually from 2005 to 2021, general anesthesia was used in 3.7% of all Cesarean deliveries. The use of general anesthesia varied significantly across institutions, and 52% of the overall variations in general anesthesia practice can be explained by differences between facilities.
