ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
The choice of anesthesia for cesarean section is very important. It is necessary for anesthesiologists to carefully consider this in order to select reasonable anesthetic methods and appropriate anesthetic drugs.
Research motivation
Reports on whether fentanyl enters the blood and affects the safety of newborns are rare.
Research objectives
Examine the effects of bupivacaine combined with different doses of fentanyl on newborns delivered by cesarean section.
Research methods
One hundred and twenty patients undergoing cesarean section were randomly divided into the following 4 groups: group B (bupivacaine group), group BF10 (bupivacaine combined with 10 µg fentanyl), group BF30 (bupivacaine combined with 30 µg fentanyl) and group BF50 (bupivacaine combined with 50 µg fentanyl).
Research results
There were no significant differences in the 1-min or 5-min Apgar scores or the umbilical artery blood gas analysis among the four groups (P > 0.05).
Research conclusions
Bupivacaine combined with fentanyl spinal anesthesia is effective in cesarean section.
Research perspectives
Different anesthetics will have different effects on newborns during cesarean section. Safer intravenous anesthetics should be investigated.
