Abstract

Objectives. The aim of this study was to compare the stress response produced during elective CS for the first and second time. For that goal, cortisol blood levels before, during and after childbirth were measured. Materials and Methods. We performed this prospective observational study during the period of September 2020 to September 2021. Blood samples were taken from all participants at three different stages. A statistical analysis was performed to compare the CS1 (first elective Caesarean) and CS2 (second elective Caesarean) groups. Results. At every stage, the levels of cortisol were statistically higher in the CS1 group than in the CS2 group. Therefore, CS2 generates a significantly less stressful response than CS1. Between stages, in CS2 cortisol was lowered at a faster rate than in CS1, meaning the stress response initiated was present for a longer time period in the CS1 group. Conclusion. A second elective caesarean section is a safe procedure that does not place an unnecessary burden upon the mother. This is an important fact that practitioners can rely upon while designing the ideal management of a pregnant woman for the stressful environment of birth.

通过比较皮质醇水平评估第一次和第二次选择性剖腹产的应激反应。
目的:本研究的目的是比较第一次和第二次选择性CS期间产生的应激反应。为了达到这个目的,测量了分娩前、分娩中和分娩后的皮质醇血液水平。材料和方法:我们在2020年9月至2021年9月期间进行了这项前瞻性观察性研究。从三个不同阶段的所有参与者身上采集血样。进行统计分析以比较CS1(第一次选择性剖腹产)和CS2(第二次选择性剖腹产率)组。结果:在各个阶段,CS1组的皮质醇水平均高于CS2组。因此,CS2产生的压力响应明显小于CS1。在不同阶段之间,CS2组的皮质醇下降速度比CS1组快,这意味着CS1组开始的应激反应存在的时间更长。结论:第二次选择性剖腹产是一种安全的手术,不会给母亲带来不必要的负担。这是一个重要的事实,从业者在设计孕妇在分娩压力环境下的理想管理时可以信赖。
