General or Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery

Istanbul Medeniyet University862 enrolled

Overview

During the cesarean deliveries, one of the anesthesia techniques, regional anesthesia or general anesthesia (GA) is prefered. Spinal anesthesia (SA) is preferred among the regional anesthesia methods because the onset of anesthesia is faster and muscle relaxation is more suitable for cesarean section anesthesia. Although both methods have advantages and disadvantages, the anesthesia method to be chosen may vary depending on the condition of the mother and fetus. The goal of this retrospective clinical trial is to compare general and spinal anesthesia in cesarean deliveries. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Are the anesthesia techniques effect maternal outcome? * Are the anesthesia techniques effect fetal outcome?
