“…Most of the previous studies investigated the effects of anesthesia in C/S groups (5-7). The studies including vaginal delivery for which anesthetic agents were not applied as a control group were extremely rare (8). In this study, a significant difference for sevoflurane and bupivacaine hydrocholoride -but not for prilocaine hydrocholoride -compared to vaginal delivery without anesthesia was observed.…”

“…Phuapradit et al have shown the absence of a correlation between C/S and neonatal hyperbilurubinemia by (11). Recently, Alkan et al have emphasized that the route of delivery had no effect on neonatal transcutaneous bilirubin levels during the first 24 hours of life (8). However, Gale et al reported a significant correlation between C/S and increased bilirubin levels (12).…”

“…The present study revealed that neonatal bilirubin levels increased in association with spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine hydrochloride. Alkan et al mentioned that transcutaneous bilurubin levels in sevoflurane group were significantly higher than bupivacaine hydrochloride group (8). However, Ozçakır et al founded out that different anesthesiology strategies including sevoflurane, or bupivacaine hydrochloride had no effect on neonatal jaundice (5).…”

“…Sevoflurane doses were the same in both Demiraran's and our study (1-2 minimum alveolar concentration). Alkan et al administered a lower dose of sevoflurane (up to 0.8 minimum alveolar concentrations) (8). However, the difference may be attributed to the interval of time between the delivery of a baby and induction of anesthesia.…”

“…The studies investigating the effects of anesthesia and particular techniques on neonatal hyperbilirubinemia are commonly confined to cesarean sections (C/S) (5, 7). In literature, there are a few studies on vaginal delivery (8). In addition, studies related to this issue compared general, epidural, spinal, and total intravenous anesthesia; however, to our knowledge, the effect of local anesthesia for episiotomy during the vaginal delivery on neonatal bilirubin levels has not been mentioned thus far.…”

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to determine whether different anesthetic techniques applied for vaginal delivery and cesarean section affect neonatal bilirubin levels in the first 24 hours of life. Materials and Methods: A total of 511 neonates delivered by vaginal route or cesarean section were included in the study. The neonates were classified according to method of delivery and anesthetic agents as group A (cesarean section / general anesthesia with sevoflurane), group B (cesarean section / spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine hydrochloride), group C (vaginal delivery with episiotomy / local anesthesia with prilocaine hydrochloride) and group D (vaginal delivery/ no anesthesia). The levels of neonatal serum bilirubin in the groups were compared. Results: There was no difference between group A and group B in terms of neonatal bilirubin levels (p = 0.98). Depending on the use of prilocaine hydrochloride as local anesthetic agent in the vaginal delivery, there was no significant difference between the groups C and D, in terms of the neonatal bilirubin levels (p = 0.99). The serum levels of bilirubin in cesarean section groups were significantly higher than those of the vaginal delivery groups (p<0.001). Conclusion: Prilocaine hydrochloride used for episiotomy did not exert any effects on neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. However, cesarean section with sevoflurane and bupivacaine hydrochloride seemed to result in increased bilirubin levels.

Objective. To investigate the relationship of delivery type, maternal anesthesia, feeding modalities, and first feeding and meconium passage times with early bilirubin levels of healthy infants. Methods. Cord, 24 hours' and 48 hours' total bilirubin levels were measured in 388 study infants. Results. Infants born with cesarean section were fed later and more often had mixed feeding. First meconium passage was delayed with general anesthesia. Cord, 24 and 48 hours' bilirubin levels were not correlated with first feeding time, meconium passage time, mode of delivery, existence and type of anesthesia, and feeding modalities. Being in high intermediate risk zone at 72 hours of Bhutani's nomogram was only related to first feeding time and high cord bilirubin level. Late preterm infants were more frequently born with cesarean section and offered supplementary formula. Therefore, first meconium passage times and bilirubin levels were similar in the late preterm and term infants. Conclusions. Type of delivery or anesthesia, late prematurity, feeding modalities, and first meconium passage time were not related to early bilirubin levels in healthy neonates, but delayed first feeding and high cord bilirubin levels were related to be in higher risk zone for later hyperbilirubinemia.

Effect of anaesthetic agents administered to the mothers on transcutaneous bilirubin levels in the neonates

Abstract: The route of delivery had no effect on TBL. While bupivacaine was found to have no effect on neonatal bilirubin levels, levobupivacaine increased neonatal biluribin levels, but further studies are needed for definite results.
