The influence of anesthesia type on perioperative maternal glycemic-stress response during elective cesarean section: A prospective cohort study.

Background: It has been known that the type of anesthesia can affect the stress response to surgery in form of hyperglycemia. This study aims to evaluate and compare the influence of general anesthesia (GA) and spinal anesthesia (SA) on pregnant women who are scheduled to undergo cesarean section (CS) and to understand the impact of obstetrical factors on the maternal hyperglycemic-stress response during CS.

Methods: Prospectively, we identified, assessed and followed those pregnant women who were scheduled to undergo elective CS surgery.
