Cesarean Anesthesia Blood Gas

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective observational cohort study will measure maternal venous blood gas values before anesthesia and umbilical arterial blood gas values after delivery in women undergoing cesarean delivery with either spinal or general anesthesia. The investigators will compare pH, pCO2, pO2, bicarbonate, base excess, lactate, and fetal carboxyhemoglobin levels between the two anesthesia techniques. Additional outcomes include maternal-fetal blood gas gradients, Apgar scores, NICU requirements, and the association between smoking exposure and fetal carboxyhemoglobin. The study will help clarify how anesthesia type may influence neonatal physiology at birth without manipulating treatment assignments.
