An interventional study of lateral positioning in Hypotension, sponsored by Seoul National University Hospital. Completed. Open to female participants aged 28 Years to 44 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2010-04-12.
Sponsored by Seoul National University Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
Maternal hypotension is a common problem during cesarian section under spinal anesthesia. The possible explanation for this is combined aortocaval compression by gravid uterus in parturient in addition to reduced systemic vascular resistance by spinal anesthesia. The investigators evaluated if the incidence of hypotension would be decreased by delayed supine positioning, by maintaining lateral position for 6 min after spinal injection, in patients undergoing elective cesarean section.
