Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of the study was to assess the values of cerebral oxygenation in full-term neonates in the first 10 minutes of life and to compare these values between neonates delivered by normal vaginal delivery and those delivered by elective cesarean section.

Exclusion Criteria
- •Newborns with gestational age \<38 weeks.
- •Newborns with intrauterine growth restriction.
- •Evidence of perinatal depression (hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy).
- •The need for respiratory support or oxygen therapy in the first 10 minutes of life.

- •Birth complications (e.g. vacuum extraction or forceps application).
- •Newborn delivered through cesarean section with previous attempts of normal vaginal delivery.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Cerebral regional oxygen saturation monitoring (crSO2)
Time Frame: the first 10 minutes of life
Measurements was done by using Near infrared spectroscopy (INVOSTM 5100C Cerebral/ Somatic Oximeter Monitor; Covidien) by placing a neonatal brain sensor on the left frontoparietal area of the newborn's head.
Peripheral oxygen saturation monitoring (SpO2)
Time Frame: the first 10 minutes of life
Oxygen saturation was measured using pulse oximeter (Masimo or Nellcor) by applying a preductal pulseoximetry sensor to the right wrist.
Blood gas analysis
Time Frame: up to 10 minutes of life
It was performed from umbilical cord blood. All newborns will be clinically observed and evaluated during this period by a neonatologist, and clinical status will be assessed by Apgar score. The Apgar score is based on a total score of 1 to 10. The higher the score, the better the baby is doing after birth. A score of 7, 8, or 9 is normal and is a sign that the newborn is in good health.
Fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOE)
Time Frame: up to 10 minutes of life
After measuring peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and cerebral regional oxygen saturation (crSO2). For evaluation of the balance of oxygen delivery and oxygen consumption, calculation of the fractional tissue oxygen extraction can be done using the following equation: FTOE=(SpO2-crSO2)/SpO2
