Sukhnandan Tomar, Dilip Somnath Sawale

Background:The two types of regional anesthesia used for caesarean sections are spinal and epidural anesthesia. The advantages of regional anesthesia include reduced complications associated with general anesthesia and promotion of initial bonding between the mother and the baby. The present study was conducted for comparatively evaluating efficacy of spinal and general anaesthesia in patients undergoing caesarean section.Materials and Methods:This study comprised of 120 women who underwent caesarean section delivery. The procedure was explained to the subjects and the patients were asked to give consent. Overall, 100 women were enrolled in the study after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria.All the subjects were randomized into two study groups’ Spinal group and general anesthesia group. Various maternal and fetal parameters had been evaluated. Statistical analysis had been conducted using SPSS software.Results: In this study, there were total 100 women of which 26 belonged to the age group of 20-25 years, 65 belonged to the age group of 26-30 years and 9 belonged to the age group of 31-35 years. The mean pre-operative SBP among women of group 1 and group 2 were 134.8 ± 14.3 mm Hg and 130.7 ± 0.8 mm Hg, respectively. The mean post-operative SBP among women of group 1 and group 2 were 135.9 ± 15.7 mm Hg and 123.4 ± 10.2 mm Hg, respectively. The mean pre-operative HR among women of group 1 and group 2 were 82.9 ± 13.1 beats/min and 86.3 ± 14.4 beats/min, respectively. The mean post-operative HR among women of group 1 and group 2 were 89.6 ± 17.8 beats/min and 69.9 ± 17.7 beats/min, respectively.Conclusion: The general group exhibits a higher incidence of maternal blood loss and a greater percentage of newborns with 5-minute Apgar scores below 7 compared to the spinal group during caesarean deliveries.
