Changes in Ventilation Inhomogeneity and Respiratory Function Following Elective Caesarean Section Under Regional Anaesthesia

NCT02714556 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2016-11-01

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pregnancy is associated with physiological changes affecting the cardiorespiratory system as a consequence of an increase in both cardiac output and intra-abdominal pressure. The aim of this prospective observational study is to examine the perioperative changes in ventilation inhomogeneity and respiratory function measured by the non-invasive nitrogen multiple breath washout and forced oscillation techniques.

Conditions

  • Pregnancy

Interventions

OTHER

Physiologic measures of lung function

Respiratory function tests: Nitrogen multiple breath washout (N2MBW) measured with an ultrasonic flowmeter (Exhalyzer D with ICU insert, Eco Medics, Duernten, Switzerland) Forced oscillation technique (FOT) measured with a tremoFlo device (Thorasys, Montreal, Canada)
