No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study is to assess the feasibility of 2 different ultrasound views of the inferior vena cava (IVC), a large vein that returns blood to the heart. Ultrasound is safe in pregnancy and, is regularly used to evaluate the fetus. It is hoped that imaging of the IVC will then allow us to determine the fluid status of the parturient which could be helpful in treating hemodynamic instability. This study will not involve any change in management of the participating patients.
