  • Title: Inspired oxygen concentration during general anaesthesia for caesarean section.
    Author: Matthews P, Dann WL, Cartwright DP, Taylor E.
    Journal: Eur J Anaesthesiol; 1989 Jul; 6(4):295-301. PubMed ID: 2759066.
    Abstract:
    The effects on maternal oxygen saturation, foetal wellbeing and umbilical blood gases were compared when parturients received either 30 or 50% oxygen prior to delivery by Caesarean section under general anaesthesia. Maternal arterial oxygen saturation was significantly increased in the group receiving 50% oxygen. There was no difference between the two groups in terms of Apgar score minus colour, time to sustained respiration or umbilical cord blood gas estimations. The use of 30% inspired oxygen during uncomplicated Caesarean section is advocated.
