Comparison of The Effects of Propofol Sedation on Mother and Newborn During Spinal Anesthesia for Elective Cesarean Section
Abstract
Regional anesthesia is preferred in cesarean sections, since it provides consciousness, continuation of spontaneous respiration, protection of airway reflexes, and causes no risk of aspiration, no respiratory depression in the newborn, and no uterine atony. Spinal anesthesia was administered to 30 patients without the application of any sedation (Group K) and in the other 30 cases, a single dose of 0.5 mg/kg propofol (Group P) was administered as an i.v. bolus at the beginning of the anesthesia. SaO2, Ramsey Sedation Scale and facial expression pain scale were measured and recorded at 0, 1, 5, 7, 10, 15, and 20 minutes and at five-minute intervals until the end of the operation following propofol administration.
In conclusion although propofol is considered as a safe and reliable anesthetic agent in cesarian sections we sug gest that more comprehensive studies to determine the neurologic, behavioral and pain effects of propofol on newborns are needed in the future.
