Comparative Study[Estimating the angle of left lateral decubitus position during cesarean section: observational study of anesthesiologists' estimates and of midwives and nurses' level of understanding].
To determine the difference between the estimated and measured values of the left lateral decubitus (LLD) angle in the positioning of patients for scheduled cesarean section; to determine whether the accuracy of estimates differs between staff anesthesiologists and residents; and to assess the angle estimates of midwives and surgical nurses as well as their level of knowledge with respect to the utility of the LLD position. ⋯ The DLL position angle is overestimated by resident anesthesiologists and midwives. It seems that the use and understanding of DLL positioning could be improved.
