PERBANDINGAN LUARAN SEKSIO SESAREA DENGANANESTESI UMUM DAN SPINAL: PERUBAHAN KADARHEMOGLOBIN, HEMATOKRIT IBU DAN SKOR APGAR BAYIIfrinda Giantari, Ibnu Pranoto, Risanto SiswosudarmoABSTRACTBackground: Cesarean section is the most common surgical procedure in obstetrics. In 2008, nearly a third ofdeliveries was done by cesarean section. Two types of anestesi are used in cesarean section i.e., general andregional anestesi with their advantages and disadvantages. General anestesi is often used in emergency casesbut is often associated with greater risk of blood loss during surgery and depression of central nervous system ofthe newborn. Based on these facts, the decision of the type of anesthesia for cesarean section is still debated.Objective: To compare the effects between general and spinal anestesi in the alteration of maternal hemoglobinand hematocrit levels and the neonatal Apgar score.Method: This study was conducted at Setjonegoro Hospital Wonosobo, Banjarnegara, and Sardjito HospitalYogyakarta between September to December 2010. Patients undergoing cesarean section, who met inclusionand exclusion criteria were included in this study. Hemoglobin and hematocrit levels before and 6-12 hours aftersurgery were recorded, as well as the first minute Apgar score. Chi-square and t-test were used for statisticalanalysis.Results and Discussion: A total of 114 patients consisting of 59 cases for general anestesi and 55 for spinalgroups were recruited. They were comparable in terms ofmaternal age, age of gestation, parity, BMI and indicationof operation. Hemoglobin and hematocrit levels before surgery were also comparable.The decrease of hemoglobin level after operation in the group of general anesthesia was greater than in thespinal group (1,75 ± 1,09 mg/dL vs 1,00 ± 0,96 mg/d; p=0,00). The same was seen in the decrease of hematocritlevel (4,47 ± 2,77% vs 3,26 ± 3,04%, p=0,02). There were 28 cases of asphyxia in the group of general comparedto 22 cases in the group of spinal anestesi, but it was not statistically different (RR 1,16; 95% CI 0,81-1,65).Conclusion: The decreased level of hemoglobin and hematocrit after cesarean section in general anesthesia werehigher than spinal anesthesia group, although the difference was not clinically significant. There was no significantdifference in the incidence of asphyxia at first minute in both groups.Keywords: general anestesi, spinal anesthesia, cesarean section, hemoglobin, hematocrit, Apgar score   ABSTRAKLatar belakang: Seksio sesarea merupakan prosedur operatif obstetri yang paling sering dilakukan. Pada tahun2008, hampir sepertiga dari persalinan dilakukan dengan cara seksio sesarea. Dua jenis anestesi sering digunakanyakni anestesi umum dan spinal yang masing-masing mempunyai kelebihan dan kekurangannya. Anestesi umumsering digunakan pada kasus kedaruratan meskipun sering dikaitkan dengan risiko kehilangan darah yang lebihbesar dan penekanan pada susunan syaraf pusat bayi. Anestesi spinal sering dikaitkan dengan keadaan hipotensimaternal.Tujuan: Membandingkan penurunan kadar hemoglobin dan hematokrit ibu dan skor Apgar bayi pada seksiosesarea dengan anestesi umum dan spinal.Metode: Kohort prospektif.Penelitian dilakukan di RS Setjonegoro Wonosobo, RS Banjarnegara, dan RS Sardjitopada bulan September sampai Desember 2010. Pasien yang menjalani seksio sesarea dan memenuhi kriteriainklusi dan eksklusi dimasukkan dalam penelitian ini. Sampel penelitian diikuti sesuai dengan kelompok jenisanestesi. Kadar hemoglobin dan hematokrit sebelum operasi dan 6-12 jam sesudah operasi serta skor Apgar 1menit dicatat. X-square dan t-test dipakai untuk analisis data.Hasil dan Pembahasan: Sebanyak 114 kasus seksio sesarea memenuhi kriteria kelayakan, yang terdiri dari 59kasus kelompok anestesi umum dan 55 kasus anestesi spinal. Kedua kelompok komparabel dalam hal umur,umur kehamilan, paritas BMI dan indikasi operasi. Demikian juga kadar hemoglobin dan hematokrit sebelumoperasi, tidak menunjukkan perbedaan yang bermakna. Penurunan kadar hemoglobin setelah operasi padakelompok anestesi umum lebih besar dibanding kelompok spinal (1,75 ± 1,09 mg/dL vs 1,00 ± 0,96 mg/d;p=0,00), demikian juga penurunan kadar hematocrit (4,47 ± 2,77% vs 3,26 ± 3,04%, p=0,02). Pada penilaianmenit pertama terdapat 28 kasus asfiksia (skor Apgar < 6) pada kelompok anestesi umum dan 22 kasus padakelompok anestesi spinal (RR 1,16, 95%CI 0,81-1,65), tetapi tidak bermakna secara statistik (p=0,42).Kesimpulan: Terdapat penurunan kadar hemoglobin dan hematokrit ibu yang bermakna pada kelompok yangmenjalani seksio sesarea dengan anestesi umummeskipun secara klinis tidak bermakna. Tidak terdapat perbedaanbermakna secara statistik pada kejadian asfiksia pada menit pertama.Kata kunci: anestesi umum, anestesi spinal, seksio sesarea, hemoglobin, hematokrit, skor Apgar

Background. General anesthesia and spinal anesthesia in cesarean section both have advantages and disadvantages. The scoring system of APGAR is a standardized tool that can inform the condition of newborn infants, which might be influenced by gestational age, medication, resuscitation, cardiorespiratory and neurological conditions of the mother. This study aimed to compare the effect of general and spinal anesthesia usage to the APGAR score of newborn infants at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital Medan. Methode. This study uses an observational-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach,  conducted using secondary data through the medical records of mothers who gave birth through cesarean section and obtained at the Medical Record Installation at the Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan from 2018 to 2019. Result. In spinal anesthesia, there are 52 samples for a score of 8-10. Whereas in general anesthesia, there are 52 samples to score 8-10. The APGAR score of 1 minute in infants born through cesarean section under spinal anesthesia had an average of 8.63, with general anesthesia of 8.00 (p=0.001). The 5-minute APGAR score in infants born through cesarean section under spinal anesthesia had an average of 9.85, and with general anesthesia of 8.67 (p=1.000). Conclusion: The 1-minute APGAR score for infants using spinal anesthesia showed a statistically better effect than the 1-minute APGAR score for infants using general anesthesia.

Abstract: Anesthesia plays an important role in surgery. The use of anesthesia provides a lot of advantages in surgery as well as disadvantages under certain circumstances. In cesarean section, anesthesia can affect the condition of neonates, which can be evaluated by using Apgar score. This study aimed to compare the neonates’Apgar scores of cesarean section using general and spinal anesthesia. The method of this study was Unpair Numeric Comparative Analytic Retrospective. Inclusive criteria were elective cesarean section deliveries, aterm or gestational age 37-40 weeks, birth weight > 2500 grams, and no other surgery. There were 105 samples which were divided into two groups, GA (general anesthesia) and SA (Spinal anesthesia). Group of GA consisted of 70 samples and group of SA 35 samples. Statistical test used was Mann – Whitney test with interpretation value P < 0.05 revealed significant differences. The results showed that neonates of SA group with Apgar score >7 at the first and fifth minute were 57.14% and 100% meanwhile of GA group 28.57% and 87.14%. The average Apgar scores of SA and GA groups at the first minute were 6.43±0.74 vs 5.5±1.53 (P = 0.001) and at the fifth minute 8.43±0.74 vs 7.53±1.51. The Mann – Whitney test showed a P value 0.001. Conclusion Spinal anesthesia provided better condition for neonates compared to the general anesthesia in elective cesarean section deliveries.Keywords: cesarean section, spinal anesthesia, general anesthesia, Apgar scoreAbstrak: Anestesia berperan penting dalam tindakan pembedahan.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: As the rates of cesarean births have increased, the type of cesarean anesthesia has gained importance. Here, we aimed to compare the effects of general and spinal anesthesia on maternal and fetal outcomes in term singleton cases undergoing elective cesarean section.DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective randomized controlled clinical trial in a tertiary-level public hospital.METHODS: Our study was conducted on 100 patients who underwent cesarean section due to elective indications. The patients were randomly divided into general anesthesia (n = 50) and spinal anesthesia (n = 50) groups. The maternal pre and postoperative hematological results, intra and postoperative hemodynamic parameters and perinatal results were compared between the groups.RESULTS: Mean bowel sounds (P = 0.036) and gas discharge time (P = 0.049) were significantly greater and 24th hour hemoglobin difference values (P = 0.001) were higher in the general anesthesia group. The mean hematocrit and hemoglobin values at the 24th hour (P = 0.004 and P < 0.001, respectively), urine volume at the first postoperative hour (P < 0.001) and median Apgar score at the first minute (P < 0.0005) were significantly higher, and the time that elapsed until the first requirement for analgesia was significantly longer (P = 0.042), in the spinal anesthesia group.CONCLUSION: In elective cases, spinal anesthesia is superior to general anesthesia in terms of postoperative comfort. In pregnancies with a risk of fetal distress, it would be appropriate to prefer spinal anesthesia by taking the first minute Apgar score into account.

Background: General anesthesia for cesarean section is being less popular for cesarean section in present days but sometime general anesthesia is inevitable. The aim of the study is to assess the trends of general anesthesia, indications, clinical outcome in mother and fetus in high altitude setting of tertiary care center of Nepal. Methods: We conducted descriptive cross-sectional study all cases of cesarean section in Karnali Academy of health Sciences (KAHS) located at high altitude over three years period   in our institute. Data were retrieved from the hospital records during three fiscal year (Jan 1st 2017 to Jan Dec 31st 2019). The record of all the patients who underwent cesarean section under general anesthesia was reviewed for demographic details, indication of general anesthesia, trends for general and spinal anesthesia and maternal and neonatal outcome. Results: Out of total deliveries 2175, 309 (14.2%) cases account for cesarean section. Among them, 52 (17%) required general anesthesia . Eclampsia 19(36%) remain the major indication for General Anesthesia in cesarean section followed by failure of spinal anesthesia number 14 (26%) , cord prolapse six (12%), antepartam haemorrhage five (10%), spinal site infection four (8%), Khiphoscoliosis two(4%), Patients request  two (4%). Use for general anesthesia technique was consistent for three years with slow rise in use of spinal anesthesia . There was no any anesthesia related maternal mortality and nine intraoperative neonatal   Conclusions:  General anesthesia practices are consistently required in rural high-altitude setup. Eclampsia is the commonest indication followed by failure of spinal anesthesia and cord prolapse. Neonatal outcome is still not good.

Background: Although, some clinical trials investigated the maternal and neonatal effect of fentanyl as a premedication before induction of general anesthesia in cesarean section, to the best of our knowledge, there is no systematic review to summarize these results. Objectives: The present systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the maternal and neonatal effect of intravenous fentanyl as a premedication before induction of general anesthesia in cesarean section. Methods: The databases of Pubmed, Embase, Scopus and Cochrane library were searched till July 2017 to identify randomized clinical trials which evaluated the effects of intravenous fentanyl as a premedication before induction of general anesthesia compared with placebo on neonate first and fifth minute Apgar score and maternal heart rate and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in cesarean section. Standard Mean difference (SMD) was calculated and I-square statistic test was used for heterogeneity analysis. Results: The present systematic review and meta-analysis consisted of three clinical trials including 180 women in labor. Considering the results of meta-analysis, there is no significant differences between fentanyl and placebo in the case of Apgar score at 1 minute; however, the Apgar score of 5 minutes was significantly lower in fentanyl group compared with placebo (SMD -0.68, 95%CI: - 0.98, -0.38, p<0.001). In the term of maternal hemodynamics, the heart rate (SMD -0.43, 95%CI: - 0.72, -0.13, p=0.004) and MAP (SMD -0.78, 95% CI: -1.09, -0.48, p<0.001) in fentanyl group were significantly lower compared with placebo group. Conclusion: The present meta-analysis showed that using intravenous fentanyl as a premedication before induction of general anesthesia had adverse effects on neonate Apgar score. However, it had positive effects on preventing adverse consequences of intubation on maternal hemodynamics.

AbstractIntroduction. The number of caesarean sections has drastically increased and thus arose the idea to examine the effect of the type of anesthesia on the neonates. The objective was to compare vital parameters in the neonates, born under general and spinal anesthesia.Method. A total of 120 patients with need for caesarean section have been divided in two groups of 60, of which the first was lead in general and the second one in spinal anesthesia. The first one was given propophol (2.0-2.5 mg/kg/tt) and succinil colin (1-1.5 mg/kg/tt). The anesthesia was lead with fentanil 0,005 mg/kg/tt and rocuronium bromide 0.4-0.6 mg/kg/tt. O2:N2O was 3:3 l/min. The second group was lead in spinal anesthesia. 2-3 ml Bupivacain 0.5% was spinally applied between L2-L3. Apgar score was defined in the neonates in the first and fifth minutes. The acido-basic status of the neonate was examined through pH values in the blood and the base excess.Results. In the first minute after birth giving with Apgar, 8 newborns 37(61,67%) were born to the group of patients with SA and 29 (48.33%) to the group of patients with GA. In 11 (18.33%) newborns born to the patients led with SA had Apgar score of 9-10, while only 3 (5%) of the newborns born to the patients led with GA had Apgar score of 9-10. Similar ratio was noted in the fifth minute after birth. Ph of the newborns’ blood as well as the base excess (BE) demonstrated significantly lower values in the group of patients led with SA than in the group of patients led with GA. Ph = 7.33 vs 7.37; BE=-4.57±1.8 vs -2.96±2.3.Conclusion. The newborns from the second group had significantly higher Apgar scores than those in the first group. The newborns’ relative acidose (lower SpO2and BE) did not affect the newborns’ Apgar score in the first and fifth minute.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to compare cases of retrograde intrarenal surgery performed under spinal or general anesthesia through investigating relevant parameters for the first time in the literature. Material and method: In total, 86 patients with diagnosis of kidney stone who were treated by retrograde intrarenal surgery were included in this randomized controlled prospective study. In total, 43 of these operations were performed under spinal anesthesia (group I) and 43 were performed under general anesthesia (group II). The groups were compared in terms of demographic features, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, duration of operation, complication rates, postoperative visual analogue scale, postoperative hospitalization period, stone-free rates, and cost value ratios. Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of demographic findings, preoperative stone loads, postoperative stone-free rates, complication rates and postoperative hospitalization periods (p > 0.05). Postoperative visual analogue scale scores and cost value ratios were found statistically significantly lower in the spinal anesthesia group (group I) when compared with the general anesthesia group (group II; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Performing retrograde intrarenal surgery in the presence of spinal anesthesia is equally effective with general anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia also appears to be a more advantageous method due to statistically significantly lower mean postoperative pain scores and treatment cost value ratios.

Abstract Background Parturients are highly anxious preoperatively. The worries of spinal anesthesia may preclude its acceptance despite being recommended. Procedural sedation is not a routine during regional blocks, but it is sensible that anesthesiologists should provide their blocks comfortably. The proposal is that implementing the propofol procedural sedation (PPS) may increase the acceptance rate of spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. Methods In this prospective observational study, the patients who refused spinal anesthesia primarily were interrogated to implement PPS for painless comfortable spinal anesthesia. Their acceptance rate was the primary outcome. In the sitting position, propofol 0.7 mg/kg and 20 mg increments were used as required. Patients were well supported and monitored. Data were compared by Mann-Whitney, chi-square, Fisher’s exact, and Friedman’s ANOVA tests as appropriate. Results The acceptance rate of spinal anesthesia increased from 17 to 93%. During PPS, the mean values of minimal mean blood pressure were not significantly decreased, while the mean values of the heart rate slightly increased. The minimal values of oxygen saturation showed no significant reduction compared to the basal values. Patients expressed a marked relief of anxiety and high satisfaction. Conclusion The use of propofol procedural sedation was effective in increasing the acceptance rate of spinal anesthesia during CS with safety and high patient’s satisfaction.
