Comparison of ONSD and rSO2 Measurements Between General and Spinal Anesthesia in C-Section

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Intracranial Pressure Increase
Interventions
Other: Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter Measurement
Registration Number
NCT04446013
Lead Sponsor
Bagcilar Training and Research Hospital
Brief Summary

General anesthesia and regional anesthesia can be chosen in cesarean operations. Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are components of general anesthesia. Endotracheal intubation has been shown to cause increased intracranial pressure. There is not enough information about the effect of spinal anesthesia on intracranial pressure during cesarean operations. Increased intracranial pressure can cause neurological complications by disrupting brain perfusion. For this reason, the investigators think that the safe anesthesia method should be determined especially in pregnant patients who are at risk of increased intracranial pressure.
