Trial summary

The incidence of obesity parturient has been increasing worldwide. There was a report revealing one third of pregnant women in United state considered obesity. Obesity is associated with increased in maternal and neonatal complications. Also, there was an increasing in the rate of cesarean delivery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Incidence of Complications Associated With Anesthesia in Obesity Parturient Undergoing Cesarean Delivery- a Retrospective Review

The incidence of obesity parturient has been increasing worldwide. There was a report revealing one third of pregnant women in United state considered obesity.

Obesity is associated with increased in maternal and neonatal complications. Also, there was an increasing in the rate of cesarean delivery. Anesthetic management of the obese parturient is differ from non-obese parturients. There were higher risk of difficult intubation, failed intubation, pulmonary aspiration and difficult regional anesthesia such as spinal anesthesia or epidural catheter placement comparing with non-obese parturient.

The aim of the study is to report complication associated with anesthesia in obese patients undergoing cesarean delivery in Single University hospital, Bangkok, THAILAND.

The incidence of obesity parturient has been increasing worldwide. There was a report revealing one third of pregnant women in United state considered obesity.

Obesity is associated with increased in maternal and neonatal complications. Also, there was an increasing in the rate of cesarean delivery. Anesthetic management of the obese parturient is differ from non-obese parturients. There were higher risk of difficult intubation and difficult regional anesthesia such as spinal anesthesia or epidural catheter placement comparing with non-obese parturient.

WHO categorised obesity into 3 classification; grade 1: BMI 30-34.9 kg/m2, grade 2: BMI 35-39.9 kg/m2, grade 3: BMI > 40 kg/m2. This study emphasised in grade 3 obese pregnant women (BMI>40 kg/m2) undergoing cesarean delivery that were at risk of increasing in anesthetic complications such as airway complications as well as complications derived from regional anesthesia eg. high spinal block, failed spinal block etc.

Therefore, the primary objective of the study is to report complication associated with anesthesia in obese patients undergoing cesarean delivery in Single University hospital, Bangkok, THAILAND. The secondary objectives rate of postpartum haemorrhage, rate of hysterectomy and neonatal outcomes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Anesthesia; general or regionalProcedure or surgery

    General anesthesia: general anesthesia with endotracheal tube Regional anesthesia: spinal anesthesia, epidural anesthesia, combined spinal epidural anesthesia

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of complications

    Incidence of maternal complications associated with anesthesia

    Measured: intraoperative period to 24 hours postoperative

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Incidence of obstetric-related complications

    Incidence of maternal complicaitions associated with obstetrics eg. amount of hemorrhage, rate of hysterectomy, rate of blood transfusion

    Measured: intraoperative period to 24 hours postoperative

  2. Neonatal outcomes

    Neonate apgar score (ranging 0-10)

    Measured: Neonate apgar score at 1-min and 5 min
