Effect of Different Left Lateral Table Tilt on Neonatal Acid-base Status and Maternal Hemodynamics for Elective Cesarean Delivery Under Spinal Anesthesia
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating 15° and 30° wedge sponges for Elective Cesarean Section and Spinal Anesthesia. Completed, enrolled 75 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The recommended position of the mother under caesarean section after spinal anesthesia is 15 degrees left. However, recent research has challenged the basic principles and practicality of the left-turn 15 degree position. Higuchi et al used nuclear magnetic imaging to directly prove that in the supine position, the position of the full-left 30 degrees of the full-term pregnancy of the full-term pregnancy relieved the inferior vena cava compression and the left-angle of 15 degrees did not. Therefore, there are more and more controversies about the choice of cesarean section position. This experiment aims to explore effects of different positions (15 degrees left, 30 degrees left and supine) for elective cesarean section on lumbar anesthesia for fetal acid-base balance and maternal Hemodynamic.

Interventions
After the spinal anesthesia is completed, the wedge sponge is placed between the patient's pelvis and ribs and the wedge is removed before the skin is cut.
