General, epidural, and spinal anesthesia for Cesarean sections do not negatively impact maternal thermal balance. These anesthesia types maintained stable skin and esophageal temperatures in pregnant women undergoing surgery.

Area of Science:

Anesthesiology
Obstetrics
Physiology

Background:

Maintaining maternal core temperature during Cesarean section is crucial for patient well-being.
Different anesthesia techniques may influence thermoregulation during surgical procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the impact of general, epidural, and spinal anesthesia on skin and esophageal temperatures in pregnant women undergoing Cesarean section.

Main Methods:

Sixty pregnant women undergoing Cesarean section were randomly assigned to four anesthesia groups.
Skin and esophageal temperatures were monitored throughout the procedure.

Main Results:

General, epidural, and spinal anesthesia did not disrupt the thermal balance of pregnant women.

Related Experiment Videos

No negative influence on skin and esophageal temperature was observed with these anesthesia types.

Epidural and spinal anesthesia led to a 1.7% increase in skin temperature due to vasodilation.

Conclusions:

Elective Cesarean sections performed under general, epidural, or spinal anesthesia are safe regarding maternal thermal regulation.
These anesthesia methods do not adversely affect core or skin temperature, with some evidence of peripheral vasodilation.
