简介：AbstractObjective:To investigate the effects of spontaneous labor before elective repeat cesarean delivery (ERCD) on short-term maternal and neonatal outcomes.Methods:This was a prospective cohort study. All consecutive ERCDs, occurring at ≥37 weeks of gestation between July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2019 in Makassed General Hospital, were evaluated. The maternal and neonatal outcomes of 183 laboring women undergoing unscheduled repeat cesarean delivery (URCD) group were compared with those of 204 women undergoing cesarean delivery (CD) without spontaneous labor (ERCD) group. Primary outcomes were "composite adverse maternal outcome" and "composite adverse neonatal outcome." Fisher’s exact and Student’s t tests were used to assess the significance of differences in dichotomous and continuous variables, respectively. Two logistic regression models were constructed to identify risk factors with most significant influence on the rate of composite adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.Results:"Composite adverse maternal outcome" was significantly more common in women who underwent spontaneous labor ((40/183) 21.9% vs. (19/204) 9.3%, P= 0.001, relative risk (RR): 2.7, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.50-4.90). Similarly, "composite adverse neonatal outcome" was significantly increased in the URCD group ((24/183) 13.1% vs. (12/204) 5.9%, P= 0.014, RR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.18-4.98). These adverse effects persisted after adjustment for confounders. Multivariate regression models revealed that, besides labor, CD-order impacted maternal outcome (RR: 1.5, 95%CI: 1.02-2.30, P= 0.036), while CD-order and teenage pregnancy influenced neonatal outcome (RR: 2.1, 95%CI: 1.29-3.38, P= 0.003, and RR: 16.5, 95%CI: 2.09-129.80, P= 0.008, respectively).Conclusion:In our study, spontaneous labor before ERCD, including deliveries at term, was associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, indicating that it is preferable to conduct ERCD before the onset of labor. Screening women with MRCD may identify those at increased risk for spontaneous labor for whom CD could be scheduled 1-2 weeks earlier. Further large prospective studies to assess the effects of such an approach on maternal and neonatal outcomes are strongly warranted.

简介：AbstractBackground:Hypotension is a common complication caused by spinal anesthesia (SA), which may have adverse impacts on the condition of the parturient and fetus. Liquid infusion was found to be relatively effective for reducing the incidence of hypotension. However, the question of whether colloid preload can optimize hemodynamic variables in the cesarean section remains controversial. This study aims to determine the effects of colloid preload on the incidence of hypotension induced by SA in elective cesarean section.Methods:Related keywords were searched on PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library from inception dates to May 2020. Studies included were evaluated for eligibility and quality. The primary outcome was the intra-operative incidence of hypotension and severe hypotension. The secondary outcomes included the lowest intra-operative systolic blood pressure, the maximal intra-operative heart rate, the intra-operative needs of ephedrine and phenylephrine, the incidence of maternal nausea and/or vomiting, and neonatal outcomes (umbilical artery pH and Apgar scores). Apart from the above, RevMan 5.3 was used for the data analysis.Results:Altogether nine randomized controlled trials were included in the meta-analysis. There were no significant differences in the incidence of intra-operative hypotension, severe hypotension, or neonatal outcomes between the colloid preload group and control group, except for the umbilical artery pH.Conclusion:This meta-analysis suggests that colloid preload does not significantly reduce the incidence of hypotension associated with SA in elective cesarean section.

简介：AbstractBackground:Norepinephrine infusion decreases hypotension after spinal anesthesia during cesarean section. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of norepinephrine infusion and ephedrine bolus against post-spinal hypotension in parturients.Methods:In this double-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial, parturients scheduled for elective cesarean section were randomly allocated to receive norepinephrine infusion (0.05 μg·kg-1·min-1) just before spinal anesthesia continuing for 30 min or ephedrine bolus (0.15 mg/kg) just before spinal anesthesia. A rescue bolus (5 μg norepinephrine for the norepinephrine group, and 5 mg ephedrine for the ephedrine group) was administered whenever hypotension occurred. Our primary outcome was the incidence of hypotension within 30 min of spinal anesthesia administration. Secondary outcomes included maternal and neonatal outcomes 30 min after spinal block, and neonatal cerebral oxygenation 10 min after birth.Results:In total, 190 patients were enrolled; of these patients, 177 were included in the final analysis. Fewer patients suffered hypotension in the norepinephrine group than in the ephedrine group (29.5% vs. 44.9%, odds ratio [OR]: 0.51, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.28-0.95, P = 0.034). Moreover, the tachycardia frequency was lower in the norepinephrine group than in the ephedrine group (OR: 0.22, 95% CI: 0.11-0.44, P < 0.001), and patients suffered less nausea and vomiting (OR: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.11-0.70, P = 0.004). There was no difference in Apgar scores and umbilical arterial blood gas analysis between the two groups. However, neonatal cerebral regional saturations were significantly higher after birth in the norepinephrine group than in the ephedrine group (mean difference: 2.0%, 95% CI: 0.55%-3.45%, P = 0.008).Conclusion:In patients undergoing elective cesarean section with spinal anesthesia, norepinephrine infusion compared to ephedrine bolus resulted in less hypotension and tachycardia, and exhibited potential neonatal benefits.Trial Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02542748; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/record/NCT02542748
