About
At the end of 2019, a new coronavirus named COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2), one of the lower respiratory tract samples was detected in China. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared it a global epidemic on March 11, 2020, due to the emergence of COVID-19 cases in 113 countries other than China, where the first epidemic occurred, and the spread and severity of the virus. Pregnancy increases susceptibility to respiratory complications of viral diseases.
This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the demographic data of COVID-19 patients undergoing cesarean section, our anesthesia practices, complications, and condition of neonates, and to summarize up-to-date information on COVID-19 in obstetric anesthesia.
Full description
Our study was a single-center, retrospective, and observational trial and carried out with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. All patient demographics and information about anesthesia were analyzed retrospectively from the patient files.
All patients were operated in negative pressure operating theatres reserved for them. The whole team was equipped with Level 3 personal protective equipment (PPE) (liquid-proof apron, N-95 mask, goggles, visor, overshoes). Anesthesia was administered by 2 healthcare professionals from the anesthesia team, including an experienced anesthesiologist and an assistant anesthesia technician. A third person was kept ready outside to help in case of need.
