- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Our main goal is to compare the changes of maternal blood pressure, heart rate values measured after endotracheal intubation, skin incision, peritoneal incision and delivery during caesarean cestion between groups that were under different remifentanil dosing regimens and to investigate the effect of those regimens on oxidative stress.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method We also compare neonatal outcome between groups (Apgar scores at 1st and 5th minute, HR, oxygen saturation, the need for resuscitative measures and umbilical venous and arterial blood gas values).
