Details and patient eligibility

About

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.

Enrollment: 60 patients

Sex: All

Ages: Under 10 minutes old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Gestational age ≥38 weeks, without any medical support and normal pregnancy development.

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.
• Suspected or known brain malformations or congenital cyanotic heart disease.
• Birth complications (e.g. vacuum extraction or forceps application).
• Newborn delivered through cesarean section with previous attempts of normal vaginal delivery.
