Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Patients will receive an intravenous bolus of remifentanil once 30 s before the introduction into general anaesthesia. The dosage will be calculated according to start body weight of patient. Induction of anaesthesia will be performed with intravenous thiopental 5mg kg-1. Trachea will be intubated after muscle paralysis with intravenous suxamethonium 75-125 mg, with intravenous atracurium 0,35 mg kg-1 administered to achieve further muscle ralaxation. Anaesthesia will be maintained with inhalation of sevoflurane 0,7 vol % in combination with 50 % nitrous oxide in oxygen, until the time of delivery. After birth and umbilical cord ligation intravenous sufentanil 0,3-0,5 mg kg-1, as required, inhalated nitrous oxide in oxygen (50/50 %, v/v) and inhalated sevoflurane (0,7-1 %) will be administered to achieve adequate sedation and analgesia till the end of surgery. Standart monitoring included non-invasive blood pressure measurement, pulse oximetry (SpO2), capnography, inspired oxygen fraction, electrocardiography (heart rate, ST segment trending), inspired and expired gas fraction. The bispectral index (BIS) values will be also monitored and observation values will be noted at 2.5 min intervals during 15 minutes. Time note will be taken of the following events: transfer to operation hall, administration of remifentanil, laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation, skin incision, uterine incision, delivery, the end of the operation and extubation. Neonates will be assessed by using Apgar scores, possible respiratory depression. Exclusion criterias will be multiparity, gestational age < 35 weeks, estimated fetal weight < 2500g, hypoxia or signs of fetal stress and mother´s hypotension.
