General or Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery

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?

Primary outcomes

  1. Apgar 1st minute score

    Time frame: 1st minute after birth

    The 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

  2. Apgar 5th minute score

    Time frame: 5th minute after birth

    The 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

  3. Umbilical Cord Blood pH

    Time frame: at the time of birth

    pH values from umblical cord blood sampling

  4. Umbilical Cord Blood PCO2

    Time frame: at the time of birth

    mmHg

  5. Umbilical Cord Blood HCO3

    Time frame: at the time of birth

    mEq/L

  6. Umbilical Cord Blood Lactate

    Time frame: at the time of birth

    mmol/L

  7. Umbilical Cord Blood Base Excess

    Time frame: at the time of birth

    mEq/L

  8. need for neonatal intensive care

    Time frame: up to 24 hours

    need for neonatal intensive care

  9. need for maternal intensive care

    Time frame: up to 24 hours
