The effects of different anesthetic techniques on newborn in elective cesarean section: retrospective study

Abstract

Aim: Although there were several studies evaluating the effects of anesthetic techniques on fetuses during anesthesia for cesarean section, researches are still going on. In this study, we evaluated the effects of different anesthetic techniques on the fetuses in Ege University Hospital, retrospectivelly. Material and Methods: The study population consisted 157 women scheduled for elective cesarean section in our hospital at a period of six months between the years 2007-2008. Medical records of 157 women who were ASA 1 were evaluated. Medical records including demographic variables, hemoglobine concentrations, time interval between skin incision and delivery, Apgar scores, umbilical cord gas analyses, balloon- valve mask, entubation and needs for intensive care unit were recorded. Results: Spinal, epidural and general anesthesia were performed 63 (40.1%), 59 (37.6%) and, 35 women (22.3%), consequently. There were no differences between the groups according to the demographic datas, preoperative hemoglobin concentrations and gestational weeks. Time interval between skin incision and delivery was lower in general anesthesia group. While five minute Apgar scores were similar in both groups, 1 minute Apgar scores were significantly lower in general anesthesia group. There was no significant difference between the groups according to umbilical cord gas analyses, the number of newborns neccesiating entubation and neonatal intensive care unit. The number of newborns necessiating balloon- valve mask was higher in general anesthesia group. Conclusion: For elective cesarean section, although it was concluded that three anesthetic techniques had no advantages to each other in late period, for the pregnancies that fetuses were under risk, the choice of regional anesthesia was more convinience.
