Spinal anesthesia's effect on baby's nervous system during C-section
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how spinal anesthesia during a planned C-section may affect the baby's autonomic nervous system, which controls things like heart rate and breathing. It aims to help doctors better understand how to keep both mother and baby safe.
