NCT06316596

Brief Summary

Epidural and spinal anesthesia techniques are frequently used all over the world in elective cesarean section operations. To evaluate the effects of epidural and spinal anesthesia techniques applied in cesarean section surgery on neonatal cerebral oxygenation using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Near İnfrared Spectroscopi

    Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS,infant,saturation sensor, Invos , Tullamore, Ireland) monitors hemodynamic activity in the brain, offering the potential for cerebral monitoring in the region of interest.NIRS is a probe-guided device used for brain oxygenation in newborns.

    on 10 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Maternal mean arterial pressure

    during cesarean section

  • Newborn vitalty

    10 minutes after birth

  • Newborn vitalty

    10 minutes after birth

Study Arms (2)

NEWBORN BORN AFTER EPIDURAL ANESTHESIA

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Group epidural, 0.5% buvasin® will be applied epidural space in the lateral position after monitoring. The patient will be placed in the supine position and surgery will begin when the T5 spinal level is achieved. Pregnant heart rate, blood pressure and saturation values will be recorded at intervals and iv ephedrine will be administered when there is a 25% or more drop in blood pressure. When there is a 25% or more decrease in heart rate, iv atropine will be administered. A NIRS probe (infant,saturation sensor, Invos , Tullamore, Ireland) and pulse will be attached to the newborn by another anesthetist and the measurements will be recorded. Blood pressure will be taken from the umbilical vein. APGAR(activity,pulse,grimace,appearance,respiration), heart rate, SpO2 and umbilical vein saturation values of the newborn will be recorded. NIRS and spO2 values of the newborn will be checked intermittently.

Procedure: Epidural Anesthesia

NEWBORN BORN AFTER SPINAL ANESTHESIA

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Group spinal, 0.5% buvasin® heavy will be applied spinal space in the lateral position after monitoring. Surgery will begin when the patient is placed in the supine position and T5 spinal level is achieved. Pregnant heart rate, blood pressure, and saturation values are recorded at regular intervals, and when there is a 25% or more drop in blood pressure, the patient will be given iv ephedrine. When there is a 25% or more drop in heart rate, iv atropine will be administered. A NIRS probe (infant,saturation sensor, Invos , Tullamore, Ireland) and pulse will be attached to the newborn by another anesthetist and the measurements will be recorded. Blood pressure will be taken from the umbilical vein. The newborn's APGAR(activity,pulse,grimace,appearance,respiration), heart rate, SpO2 and umbilical venous saturation values will be recorded. NIRS and spO2 values will be checked intermittently.

Procedure: Spinal Anesthesia

Interventions

Masking Details
The research is a prospective, randomized, single-blind, parallel group study. In the study, the Quincke needle will be used for spinal anesthesia and the Tuoghy needle will be used for epidural anesthesia. Oxygenation will be evaluated with the help of NIRS probe in the post-cesarean newborns of pregnant women who will undergo elective cesarean section. Vitals will be monitored throughout the case with electrocardiography (ECG), non-invasive blood pressure monitoring and spO2. The amount of vasopressor agent and hydration required by the mother throughout the case will be recorded. While one anesthesiologist will monitor the anesthesia method and maternal vitals, the other anesthetist will monitor the NIRS monitoring attached to the newborn.
