Description
Summary:Objective: Regional anaesthesia is mostly preferred for elective caesarean delivery. This study aimed to compare general, epidural and spinal anaesthesia techniques in terms of their foetal and maternal effects. Methods: Parturients undergoing elective caesarean delivery were randomly divided into three groups: general anaesthesia (GA), epidural anaesthesia (EA), and spinal anaesthesia (SA). The APGAR score, foetal blood gas level, free O2 requirement and positivepressure ventilation, phototherapy requirement, bilirubin level and weight loss were recorded. The time to the first breastfeeding, perioperative bleeding, crystalloid requirement, ephedrine consumption, first analgesic requirement, the time of defaecation and mobilization were also measured. Results: The APGAR scores and SpO2 were lower in the GA group (p
