Author(s): Xinghui Huang*, Weiyu Yao, Qianling Xie and Qunjie Li
Background: Current recommendations for term women undergoing cesarean delivery with general anesthesia include maintenance of left lateral tilt for uterine displacement until delivery. No randomized controlled trial on the effect of the maternal position on blood pressure during elective cesarean delivery under general anesthesia has been investigated.
Methods: One hundred parturients who underwent cesarean delivery under general anesthesia with an LMA were randomized to the supine group (n=50) or 15° left tilt group (n=50). The primary outcome was the incidence of hypotension (defined as an SBP was less than 80% of baseline from the induction to delivery or SBP less than 90 mmHg).
Results: The primary outcome was the incidence of hypotension and the incidence of hypotension of left tilt group and supine group.. View More»
