Abstract
Objective: Although regional anesthesia is frequently used in cesarean section, patient satisfaction and comfort can change with the anesthesia method preference. Our aim is to determine the level of anesthesia satisfaction in women with cesarean surgery with Spinal (SA) and General anesthesia (GA) and to examine its relationship with anxiety level.
Material and Methods: In this prospective observational cohort study, 144 pregnant women who were admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic between January 2019 and April 2019 were included. Demographic information of the pregnant women including age, height, weight, gestational history and education level were recorded. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), preoperative anxiety levels and which anesthesia method they preferred were questioned and recorded.
Results: 72 SA and 72 GA patients were included in the study. Age, BMI (Body mass index), obstetric history, preoperative HADS were similar in both groups (p> 0.05). Patients with SA were significantly higher satisfaction level than those who had cesarean with GA (p = 0.000). Anxiety level during cesarean was correlated positively with preoperative HADS (p = 0.001, p = 0.005, respectively). First analgesia requirement didn’t differ in both group (p=0.409).
Conclusion: The satisfaction score founded higher in those who were cesarean with SA. Evaluating anxiety levels of patients and providing support before surgery will increase postoperative comfort.
