Observational StudyThe effect of intra-abdominal pressure on sensory block level of single-shot spinal anesthesia for cesarean section: an observational study.
Increased intra-abdominal pressure in pregnancy is thought to affect intrathecal drug spread. However this assumption remains largely untested. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the association between intra-abdominal pressure and maximum sensory block level in parturients receiving spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. ⋯ In parturients, intra-abdominal pressure was not associated with spinal block spread, block onset time, recovery or side effects.
