Anesthesia, Cesarean Section
Conditions
Brief summary
Despite global efforts to reduce the rate of cesarean section births worldwide, increase recommendations for elective induction of labor, and promote trials of vaginal birth after previous cesarean deliveries, cesarean rates are steadily rising, varying from country to country. The management of obstetric patients requires the effective and safe application of anesthesia to anticipate and prevent emergencies, ensuring a positive experience for the mother, baby, and their family. Neuraxial anesthesia is considered the gold standard for cesarean section births. In case of an emergency cesarean, the likelihood of general anesthesia increases, making the safe provision of anesthesia more challenging. The choice of anesthesia technique for cesarean section is determined by considering maternal and fetal conditions, accompanying diseases, the urgency of surgery, and the difficulty of procedures. In this study, the investigators will retrospectively examine the anesthesia records of all cesarean section cases treated in the clinic between 2018 and 2022. the investigators aim to analyze demographic data, the anesthesia methods applied, complications, the relationship between surgery time and anesthetic method, the association between anesthesia method and neonatal Apgar scores, and the type of postoperative analgesia administered in the clinic (including regional anesthesia, opioids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs if performed). The study will be descriptive in nature, aiming to provide insights into commonly applied methods and management in the researcher's clinic.
