Key result
Caesarean section with spinal anaesthesia caused less oxidative stress compared to vaginal delivery with epidural analgesia and elective caesarean section with general anaesthesia.
Why the study?
Does caesarean section with spinal block reduce oxidative stress compared to vaginal delivery or caesarean section with general anaesthesia in mothers and neonates?
Observational
Does caesarean section with spinal block reduce oxidative stress compared to vaginal delivery or caesarean section with general anaesthesia in mothers and neonates?
Caesarean section with spinal anaesthesia may be associated with lower oxidative stress for mother and neonate compared to other delivery methods.
May support spinal anesthesia preference in cesarean delivery to limit oxidative stress; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
This study evaluated the influence of three different delivery methods (vaginal delivery, caesarean section under general anaesthesia and caesarean section with spinal block) on maternal and neonatal blood levels of nitric oxide and malondialdehyde. Results showed that caesarean section with spinal anaesthesia causes less oxidative stress compared to vaginal delivery with epidural analgesia and elective caesarean section with general anaesthesia.

Çöçelli et al. (2007) conducted an observational in Pregnancy and delivery. Caesarean section with spinal anaesthesia vs. Vaginal delivery with epidural analgesia and elective caesarean section with general anaesthesia was evaluated on Maternal and neonatal blood levels of nitric oxide and malondialdehyde. Caesarean section with spinal anaesthesia caused less oxidative stress compared to vaginal delivery with epidural analgesia and elective caesarean section with general anaesthesia.
