Does the Mode of Anesthesia Affect the Feto-maternal Outcome in Category-1 Caesarean Section
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Spinal anesthesia (SA) has become the standard technique in elective cesarean section (CS) as it results in less maternal and neonatal morbidity than general anesthesia (GA) (Grade-A recommendation, NICE). For women requiring emergency CS, rapid sequence general anesthesia (RSGA) is commonly used because this technique is faster to perform than SA. Though several randomized trials have compared the maternal and fetal outcome between these two anesthetic techniques, the studies with respect to category 1 CS (emergent conditions that hold immediate threat to life of the woman or fetus) are limited.

Detailed Description
Full term pregnant females will be included in this study. They will be allocated into two groups:
(Group G): will receive rapid sequence general anesthesia, and (Group S): will receive spinal anesthesia. After preoperative assessment and investigations by the attending anesthesiologist, the decision of the anesthetic approach will be decided by the attending anesthesiologist according to indications for CS.
Before induction of anesthesia intravenous (IV) ranitidine 50 mg will be administered after establishing an IV access. On the operating table, vital signs will be monitored for all parturients throughout the surgery according to the standard departmental protocol.
fetal well being will be assessed after delivery by using 1 minute and 5 min APGAR score and umbilical cord PH . in addition to maternal vital signs intra-operative then follow up any complications that may occur to the mother post-operative.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Group general anesthesia (G) patients will positioned with pelvic wedge on operating table and preoxygenated. Then rapid sequence induction with precalculated doses of propofol (2 mg/kg) and rocuronium (0.9 mg/kg) will followed by endotracheal intubation. After delivery of the baby, fentanyl will be administered. Later, anesthesia will be maintained with isoflurane (1%). |
Procedure: anesthesia of emergency cesarean section
compare General versus spinal anesthesia

Group Spinal anesthesia (S) all parturients will co-loaded with 500 ml of colloid solution. In the left lateral position, the patients' back will be cleaned with povidone iodine. In the meantime, the spinal anesthetic drug and local anesthetic drug will be prepared. After wiping povidone iodine with alcohol, a rapid single shot of 2.5 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine will be administered intrathecally using 22 G spinal needle. Oxygen will be administered using simple face mask till the delivery of the baby. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- APGAR score [5 minutes after delivery]
Apgar score is a method for assessment of neonatal well-being after birth (0-3: severely depressed, 4-6: moderately depressed, 7-10: excellent condition)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- decision-to-delivery interval (DDI) [from decision to operate till delivery of the baby]
the interval in minutes from the time of the decision by obstetrician to the time of delivery of the baby
- Umbilical cord PH [immediately after delivery]
Arterial blood gases from umbilical cord artery were used to assess newborn's acid-base status
- Occurrence of maternal complications postoperative [from recovery from anesthesia up to 24 hours postoperative]
all mother were followed for any postoperative complications related to the anesthesia.
- Neonatal ICU admission [from delivery of the baby up to 24 hour postoperative]
Admission to the NICU in percentage of the total participants.
- Length of hospital stay [up to 1 month]
Length of stay (LOS) is the duration of a single episode of hospitalization
