Cesarean section operations are increasing in rates worldwide. A proper anesthetic technique is required to maintain the safety of both the mother and the fetus. This study examines the adverse hemodynamic effects associated with general and regional anesthesia and proposes a superior technique from the hemodynamic perspective. A retrospective cohort study with a five-year study period was conducted on patients who underwent cesarean section with general anesthesia (GA) and regional anesthesia (RA) after obtaining ethical committee approval. Data (hypotension, bradycardia, and blood loss) was collected from hospital information system records of the patients who underwent cesarean section from January 2015 to December 2019. The significance of the variables was determined using the Chi-square test. A total of 2500 patients were studied. 1379 patients underwent cesarean section with RA meanwhile 1121 patients with GA.
