Summary

This prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial compares the effects of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) versus sevoflurane-based inhalational anesthesia on maternal hemodynamics, depth of anesthesia, and early neonatal clinical outcomes in pregnant women undergoing elective cesarean section under general anesthesia

Conditions

  • Cesarean Section
  • Anesthesia, General
  • Anesthesia, Intravenous

Interventions

DRUG

Propofol

Administered intravenously for induction at a dose of 2 to 2.5 mg/kg. For maintenance in the TIVA group, a 2% propofol infusion was started at 14 mg/kg/hour at the 1st minute post-intubation, then decreased to 11 mg/kg/hour. The infusion rate was increased by increments of 2 mg/kg/hour if the Bispectral Index (BIS) exceeded 50 or if the heart rate increased by 10-20% from baseline. Following fascia closure, the rate was reduced to 6 mg/kg/hour and discontinued completely at skin closure.

DRUG

Sevoflurane

Following induction and intubation, anesthesia maintenance was carried out with 2-3% sevoflurane in a 50% oxygen-air mixture using low-flow inhalation anesthesia (1 L/min fresh gas flow). The concentration of the inhalational anesthetic agent was gradually titrated to maintain the target Bispectral Index (BIS) value between 40 and 55 throughout the surgery.
