Abstract
(Am J Obst Gynecol. 2019;220:389.e1–389.e9) While the maternal risks of cesarean delivery are well documented in the literature, less is known about the risks to the fetus. Neuraxial block-related hypotension and maternal obesity have been found to contribute to uterine hypoperfusion and umbilical arterial pH depression. Examining the time between spinal anesthesia placement and delivery could provide insight into these risks to the fetus awaiting cesarean delivery. The aim of this study was to evaluate neonatal umbilical arterial pH in relation to predelivery time intervals during scheduled cesarean delivery.
