Objective This study aims to compare melatonin levels in colostrum between vaginal and cesarean delivery. Study Design This cross-sectional study was conducted with 139 mothers who gave live births between February 2016 and December 2016. The mothers were divided into three groups according to the mode of delivery: 60 mothers (43.2%) in the vaginal delivery group, 47 mothers (33.8%) in the elective cesarean delivery, and 32 mothers (23.0%) in the emergency cesarean delivery group. Colostrum of the mothers was taken between 01:00 and 03:00 a.m. within 48 to 72 hours following the delivery, and the melatonin levels were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and compared between the groups. Results The melatonin levels in the colostrum were the highest in the vaginal delivery group, lower in the elective cesarean section group, and the lowest in the emergency cesarean group (265.7 ± 74.3, 204.9 ± 55.6, and 167.1 ± 48.1, respectively; p < 0.001). The melatonin levels in the colostrum did not differ according to the demographic characteristics of the mothers, gestational age, birth weight, newborn sex, the Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration (APGAR) scores, and for the requirement for neonatal intensive care. Conclusion Our study results showed that melatonin levels in the colostrum of the mothers who delivered vaginally were higher than those who delivered by cesarean section. Considering the known benefits of melatonin for the newborns, we believe that vaginal delivery poses an advantage.

AbstrakPada masa sekarang ini telah terjadi perubahan tren dalam persalinan, yaitu berupa peningkatan angka seksio sesarea. Peningkatan ini dipengaruhi berbagai faktor seperti: adanya kekhawatiran akan terjadinya cedera janin, peningkatan permintaan ibu untuk melakukan persalinan seksio sesarea, serta faktor sosioekonomi. Beberapa penelitian justru menunjukkan seksio sesarea dapat menimbulkan morbiditas pada bayi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membandingkan kondisi bayi antara persalinan normal dan seksio sesarea elektif dilihat dari nilai Apgar Penelitian dilaksanakan dari Mei 2014 sampai Januari 2014 di bagian rekam medis RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang.. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah analitik dengan desain cross-sectional study. Sampel dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari 179  pasien dengan persalinan normal dan 56 pasien dengan seksio sesarea. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada menit pertama nilai Apgar 4-6 adalah 3,4% pada persalinan normal. Nilai Apgar 7-10 sebanyak 96,6% pada persalinan normal dan 100% pada seksio sesarea pada menit pertama. Pada menit kelima, nilai Apgar 4-6 adalah 1,1% pada persalinan normal, sedangkan nilai Apgar 7-10 sebanyak 98,9% pada persalinan normal dan 100% pada seksio sesarea pada menit kelima. Setelah dilakukan analisis dengan mann-whitney test didapatkan bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan nilai Apgar pada menit-1 (p=0,777) dan menit-5 (p=0,887) antara persalinan normal dengan seksio sesarea.Kata kunci: persalinan normal, seksio sesarea elektif, nilai Apgar AbstractIn recent years, cesarean section have increased. Several factor are contributing, such as fears of injury to the fetus, increased women's request to do a cesarean section deliveries and socioeconomic factors. Some studies have also shown that cesarean section can lead to morbidity in infants. The objective of this study was to compare between Apgar scores of infant born by elective cesarean section and normal vaginal deliveries. The research was done from May 2013 to January 2014 at the medical records department of general hospital center Dr. M. Djamil Padang. This was an analytic study with cross-sectional study design. This study used 179 samples with normal vaginal delivery and 56 samples with cesarean section. The result showed that 1st minute Apgar score of 4-6 in normal vaginal delivery was 3.4%, and Apgar score 7-10 was 96.6% in normal vaginal delivery while in cesarean section was 100%. The 5th minute Apgar score of  4-6 in normal vaginal delivery was 1.1%, and Apgar score 7-10 was 98.9% in normal vaginal delivery while in cesarean section was 100%. After being analyzed using Mann-Whitney test, the study showed that there was no significant different in Apgar score of neonates born through normal vaginal delivery and neonates born trough cesarean section at first minute (p=0.777) and fifth minute (p=0.887).Keywords: normal vaginal delivery, elective cesarean section, Apgar score

AbstractObjectives:To study the normal oxygen saturation trends and fetomaternal correlates in healthy term newborns within 30 min of life born by normal vaginal delivery (NVD) and elective cesarean section (CS).Materials and methods::A cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 healthy term newborns born by NVD and elective CS at a tertiary care centre. Routine care as per the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) 2015 (Wyckoff MH, Aziz K, Escobedo MB, Kapadia VS, Kattwinkel J, Perlman JM, et al. Part 13: neonatal resuscitation: 2015 American Heart Association guidelines update for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care. Circulation. 2015;132:S543–60) protocol was given and pre-ductal arterial oxygen saturation was assessed by pulse oximetry at different intervals after birth.Results:The mean peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) was 85.4%, 90.8%, 94.1%, 95.7%, 96.7% and 97.4% at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 min, respectively, after birth. Higher mean SpO2was observed in NVD compared to elective CS (P<0.005). The mean time for SpO2to reach >90% was 9.13 min in NVD and 12.31 min in elective CS (P<0.001). Maternal hemoglobin (Hb) (r=−0.15; P<0.01), birth weight (r=−0.125; P<0.05) and Apgar at 10 min (r=0.33; P<0.001) were significantly correlated with SpO2of newborns at 10 min of life.Conclusion:Our study defines normal SpO2levels in healthy term newborns in the first 30 min of life born by NVD and elective CS. Babies born by NVD had significantly higher SpO2levels and attained SpO2>90% faster than those born by elective CS. Maternal Hb, birth weight and Apgar at 10 min were significant factors affecting SpO2levels of newborns at 10 min of life.
