Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Volume kinetics of Ringer's solution and dextran 3% during induction of spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section.
To study how the body handles fluid given intravenously during the onset of spinal anaesthesia in women scheduled for Caesarean section. ⋯ The onset of spinal anaesthesia induces acute changes in the body's handling of infused fluid that can be described by volume kinetic analysis.

To review the experience of one tertiary care institution with somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) monitoring during spinal surgery in order to assess the ability to monitor and predict neurological outcome effectively. ⋯ Effective SSEP monitoring was possible despite the many factors which may have interfered with monitoring. More improvements in the techniques and conditions of monitoring are needed to decrease the incidence of false positive and negative results.
