Effect of Intra-abdominal Pressure to the Level of the Sensory Block at Caesarean Section Under Spinal Anesthesia
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Measurement of IAP for Obstetric Anesthesia Problems and High-Risk Pregnancy. Completed, enrolled 196 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
It is known that an increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) causes a decrease in the volume of cerebrospinal fluid in the lumbar and lower thoracic region, which may contribute to the development of more high spinal block.

Timeline
Interventions
The level of intra-abdominal pressure was measured via a Foley catheter through the urinary bladder. After the introduction of a 30 mL of warm saline. Measurement of the water column in the system was made from the zero level to the mid-axillary line, for 10 minutes, after quiet breathing pregnant at the time of expiration.
