Summary

This study compared two types of general anesthesia—total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) using propofol and inhalational anesthesia using sevoflurane—in 80 women having planned C-sections. Researchers measured how well each method controlled the mother's vital signs and the baby's neurological adaptation right after birth. The goal was to find which approach offers better safety and stability for both.
