Abstract

Neonatal outcome after cesarean section under general anesthesia may be influenced by several factors. Two of these are the interval between anesthesia induction and delivery and the interval between uterine incision and delivery. The present authors evaluated the relationship between both factors and the Apgar scores of newborn infants delivered by cesarean section at various gestational ages. The study comprised 568 cesarean deliveries that were performed and under general anesthesia without any sign of fetal distress before operation. Of the 568 women, 216 had elective operations, and 352 had nonelective cesarean deliveries.
