The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of general anaesthesia (GA) and regional anaesthesia (RA) on the blood loss during caesarean section. We report on 161 patients undergoing both elective and emergency caesarean section at the Obstetrical Department of Democritus University of Thrace. In the majority (113 women, 70.2%) GA was used, while in 48 women (29.8%) RA was used. No significant differences were found in the demographic characteristics of the study women in the two groups. Although the preoperative Hgb and Hct levels did not differ significantly in the two groups RA vs GA, the postoperative Hgb and Hct levels were significantly lower in women who were subjected to GA compared to those who were subjected to RA (p < 0.05). The study showed that there is greater reduction in blood loss with RA compared to GA during caesarean section.
