2023, International Journal of Obstetric AnesthesiaEffects of a head elevated ramped position during elective caesarean delivery after combined spinal-epidural anaesthesia
2014, International Journal of Obstetric AnesthesiaCitation Excerpt :The effect of the ramped position on the time taken to establish an effective block height has not been investigated. Most studies that have looked at position change following intrathecal block for caesarean delivery used hypotension as their primary outcome, reported time to T4 as a secondary outcome, and group sizes varied from 10 to 30 patients.8–11 A study by Inglis et al. used time to T4 block and a sample size of 40 (n = 20);12 a group size of 20 was chosen for the current study.
A new modality for improving the efficacy of intrathecal injection for cesarean section
2013, Egyptian Journal of AnaesthesiaCitation Excerpt :After a 5-min rest, BP and heart rate were measured three times at 1-min intervals in the wedged supine position. The average value of the second and third mean BP values was recorded as the baseline value [10,12]. Each patient received 1000 mL of lactated Ringer’s solution and 500 mL of Hetastarch 6% (Voluven®, Fresenius, France), and spinal anesthesia was induced in the right lateral decubitus position.
