Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of administering a small dose of glucose on the pregnant women and their neonates during cesarean section. We investigate the safety and efficacy of use of a glucose-containing solution for the pregnant women and the neonates.

Primary Outcome Measures:

The blood glucose concentration in the neonates at one hour of age [ Time Frame: One hour of age ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

The blood glucose concentration in the neonates at two hour of age [ Time Frame: Two hour of age ]

Other Outcome Measures:

Evidence of clinical complications (especially, low glucose symptoms) [ Time Frame: Within the first 3 days after cesarean section ]


Estimated Enrollment:	40
Study Start Date:	October 2012
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	October 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: acetate Ringer's solution Administering acetate Ringer's solution that contains no glucose as an initial infusion A total infusion volume of acetate Ringer's solution is 1500ml	Drug: administer acetate Ringer's solution During cesarean section under spinal anesthesia, each acetate Ringer's solution is administered before delivery. Drug: acetate Ringer's solution containing no glucose
Active Comparator: acetate Ringer's solution with 1% glucose Administering the acetate Ringer's solution that contains 1% glucose as an initial infusion A total infusion volume of the acetate Ringer's solution containing 1% glucose is 1500ml (containing 15g of glucose)	Drug: administer acetate Ringer's solution During cesarean section under spinal anesthesia, each acetate Ringer's solution is administered before delivery. Drug: acetate Ringer's solution containing 1% glucose

Detailed Description:

Rapid infusion of large amount of glucose is associated with fetal hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and neonatal hypoglycemia. However, the effect of small dose of glucose is unclear. We conducted a pilot study of small dose of glucose. We investigated the effect of a glucose-containing fluid on the blood sugar of the umbilical artery. We found that in the case of no-glucose-containing fluid, there were some cases in which umbilical arterial concentration of glucose was less than 50 mg/dl, which might cause neonatal hypoglycemia. In addition, in the case of 1%-glucose-containing fluid, mean umbilical arterial concentration of glucose was 97 mg/dl.
