Objective: The study was come to determine the effect of spinal anesthesia and general anesthesia on cardiopulmonary parameters. By comparing the effect of general and spinal anesthesia on cardiopulmonary parameters. Methodology: a descriptive study was conducted for the period from (2024/2/21) to (2024/4/11). the target group was patients of Imam Hassan Al-Mujtaba (peace be upon him) hospital and the obstetrics and gynecology teaching hospital and a convenience sample of 100 patients. the content validity of the tool was determined by (5) experts. a set of statistical methods were used, namely (frequency, percentage, cumulative percent, and also Paired Sample T-Test). Results: indicated the most of the study sample with age group (from 21 to 30) years with percentage (53%) and the most sample was lived in city and the percentage (65%). when compeering mean of cardiopulmonary parameter before and after general or spinal anesthesia to see the effect on cardiopulmonary parameter show that the spinal anesthesia is more safe and decrease the effect than general anesthesia. there is a statistically significant difference in many of these parameters across these two different times for each general and spinal anesthesia period at p-value of <0.05 except in (systolic, diastolic, heart rate, and mean arterial pressure). Conclusions: after performing our research, we have determined that, when it comes to cesarean deliveries, it’s better option to use spinal anesthesia than general anesthesia. this is due to the fact that it not only removes the risks that come with general anesthesia, such as the possibility of intubation complication, medication effect and side effect that go along with it, but it also makes recovery and restoration of normal cardiac and pulmonary function faster and more effective in management, all of which will improve mothers’ quality of life.
