The Severity Of Hypotension Comparing Three Positions During Spinal Anesthesia For Cesarean Delivery

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hypotension

In brief

The investigators intend to study the impact of patient positioning on the changes in blood pressure after spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. The investigators hypothesized that the changes in blood pressure relate to the speed with which the spinal medication rises. By slowing the rise of spinal anesthesia, the investigators believe that the incidence and severity of hypotension might be reduced.
