Background And Aims: The effect of local anesthetics on myometrial contractility during labor analgesia is debatable. We aimed to compare the effects of bupivacaine and levobupivacaine on rat uterine contractility in an in vivo setting.
Methods: Electrical activities of 40 pregnant rat uteruses were recorded on electrohysterogram after dividing the rats into bupivacaine and levobupivacaine groups.
Purpose: Neonatal jaundice, a frequent problem in neonatology, can be influenced by many factors. Here, we sought to clarify the role of anesthesia and to compare the effects of various anesthesiological strategies on neonatal bilirubin levels during cesarean section.
Methods: We prospectively enrolled 167 ASA I-II status uncomplicated pregnant women who delivered by cesarean section as the study group.
We report a case of acute respiratory insufficiency due to peripartum cardiomyopathy after Caesarean section in a term pregnancy with twins. The patient was a 30-year-old woman with a spontaneous twin pregnancy at 32 weeks of gestation who was admitted to our obstetrics department with preterm premature rupture of membranes. After 48 hours, the tocolysis was stopped and an uneventful Caesarean was performed under general anesthesia.

Methods: Sixty patients were assessed clinically at presentation and at 3-month follow-up with a patient-assessed 100-mm visual analog scale of pain and a physician-assessed heel tenderness index. A therapeutic response rate was evaluated.
