ABSTRACT

Background

The aim was to determine the effect of regional anesthesia (RA) on postoperative vital functions in contrast to general endotracheal anesthesia (GEA) after the cesarean section.

Methods

Prospective cohort study included consecutive term pregnant women delivered by cesarean section (GEA, n = 284; RA, n = 249).

Results

Higher levels of blood pressure and heart rate, as well as lower levels of pulse oximetry were found for GEA in contrast to RA (p < 0.001). The application of RA presented less side-effects (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

RA for cesarean section should be preferred when balancing the risks and benefits for the mother and fetus.
