Disease relevance of Cesarean Section, Repeat

• Forty-one percent of all elective repeat cesarean sections were treated wih ephedrine because of maternal hypotension [1].

High impact information on Cesarean Section, Repeat

• In a double-blind randomized study, the effects of the addition of epinephrine on hyperbaric spinal bupivacaine were studied in 63 patients having elective repeat cesarean sections [2].
• Decidua obtained after normal spontaneous vaginal deliveries produced significantly more prolactin than did tissue obtained after elective repeat cesarean section deliveries in the absence of labor (P less than 0.005) [3].
• One hundred eight pneumococcal polysaccharide antibody levels were determined by radioimmunoassay preoperatively in 18 patients who underwent elective repeat cesarean section [4].
• Fifty-one patients delivered by scheduled repeat cesarean section were divided into ephedrine-treated and untreated groups [1].
• Seventy-five healthy parturients undergoing primary or repeat cesarean section were randomly assigned to one of three groups of 25 each, end-tidal 3% desflurane, 6% desflurane or 0.6% enflurane, combined with 50% N2O and O2 [5].

Associations of Cesarean Section, Repeat with chemical compounds

• The maternal and neonatal effects of isoflurane and halothane combined with 50% N2O - 50% O2 were compared in 60 healthy parturients undergoing primary or repeat cesarean section [6].
