Evaluation of Changes of Venous Return After Spinal and Epidural Analgesia and Anesthesia by Ultrasound Guided Vena Cava Diameter Measurement

Completed

Conditions studied: Pregnancy Related, Hypotension, Orthostatic

In brief

The investigators propose this study to test the hypotheses that inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter can predict hypotension after labor analgesia (epidural, combined spinal-epidural) and neuraxial anesthesia for cesarean section (epidural, combined spinal-epidural and spinal block) in full-term pregnant patients.
