Abstract
Aim: Our study aims to compare anesthesia complications between immigrant and Turkish patients thus better knowledge to clinicians and anesthetists for the management of cesarean operative delivery among different race obstetric populations.
Materials and Methods: Between 06.2018-08.2018, cesarean anesthesia forms were examined retrospectively. Age, gestational week, indication of surgery, anesthesia method applied, complications in mother (hypotension, bradycardia, bleeding, emesis) recorded.
Results: 143 Turkish and 145 immigrant patients were recruited for our study. ASA II score, emergency cesarean (CS) rate, emesis incidence, hypotension rate of patients were statistically higher in immigrant patients than in Turkish patients (p<0.05). There was statically no significant difference found between the two groups of patients on behalf of bradycardia.
Conclusion: We highlight the barriers to emergency cesarean section operations in the un-monitored obstetric population, so it is vital to raise awareness of both obstetricians and anesthesiologists on this issue.
