Effects of Types of Anesthesia on Neurobehavioral Response and Apgar Score in Neonates Delivered with Cesarean Section in Dilla University Referral Hospital

Abstract

Background: Neonatal outcomes are affected by types of anesthesia and perioperative patient cares. Studies showed that neonatal neurobehavioral response and Apgar score were better in mothers who gave birth under spinal anesthesia than general anesthesia. But studies were inadequate locally and this study compared neonatal neurobehavioral response and Apgar score in mothers who undergo caesarean section.
