Conditions

Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery

Brief summary

During the cesarean deliveries, one of the anesthesia techniques, regional anesthesia or general anesthesia (GA) is prefered. Spinal anesthesia (SA) is preferred among the regional anesthesia methods because the onset of anesthesia is faster and muscle relaxation is more suitable for cesarean section anesthesia. Although both methods have advantages and disadvantages, the anesthesia method to be chosen may vary depending on the condition of the mother and fetus. The goal of this retrospective clinical trial is to compare general and spinal anesthesia in cesarean deliveries. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Are the anesthesia techniques effect maternal outcome? * Are the anesthesia techniques effect fetal outcome?

MeasureTime frameDescription
Apgar 1st minute score1st minute after birthThe Apgar score is based on a total score of 1 to 10. The higher the score, the better the baby is doing after birth. A score of 7, 8, or 9 is normal and is a sign that the newborn is in good health
Apgar 5th minute score5th minute after birthThe Apgar score is based on a total score of 1 to 10. The higher the score, the better the baby is doing after birth. A score of 7, 8, or 9 is normal and is a sign that the newborn is in good health
