Abstract

(Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2020;223:747.e1–747.e13) While spinal anesthesia is the preferred anesthetic in planned cesarean deliveries (CDs), one of its major drawbacks is the potential for maternal hypotension. The literature has demonstrated the relationship between the degree of hypotension and neonatal acidosis, but the effect of hypotension duration is unclear. In addition, the window between the administration of anesthesia to delivery may provide an opportunity to decrease the risk of adverse neonatal events. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of maternal hypotension and the anesthesia-to-delivery time interval on neonatal events in planned CDs.
