Anesthesia during planned c-section and newborn hearing
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia used during planned cesarean deliveries to see if they affect the baby's hearing after birth. If you qualify, you would receive one of the standard anesthesia methods, and your baby's hearing would be checked shortly after delivery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
