About this study
To compare serum STN （Neuraminic acid-N-acetylgalactose）antigen concentrations in patients undergoing cesarean section and to study the factors associated with amniotic fluid entry.Compare the serum complement C4 concentration in patients in the amniotic fluid admission group with those in the non-admission group to study whether amniotic fluid admission triggers the body's immune response.To record the patients' blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen, and the occurrence of related symptoms and adverse reactions at the time of admission, at the time of blood collection, at the time of discharge from the room, and at the time of the occurrence of haemodynamic changes.
Read the detailed description
All patients were routinely fasted for 8 h and abstained from drinking for 4 h. After entering the operating theatre, intravenous access was opened, and blood pressure, heart rate, electrocardiogram, oxygen saturation and patient's symptoms were continuously monitored during the operation. After obtaining informed consent for anaesthesia from the patient and his family, intrathecal anaesthesia or general anaesthesia was administered according to the situation. Venous blood was drawn from the patient 30 min after the foetus was dissected out, and samples were preserved to measure the concentration of serum STN antigen and the concentration of complement C4; data were collected through the resident workstation system and the manual anaesthesia system, and the patient's information included age, history of allergy, number of deliveries, and history of combining with other illnesses; and the pregnancy information included Placenta type, amniotic fluid, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and whether or not the pregnancy was multiple; delivery data included whether or not elective caesarean section was performed, operator factors, intensity of contractions, method of rupture of membranes, and anaesthesia method.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 May 2025.
