Summary

Aortocaval compression by the gravid uterus during the third trimester contributes to decreased venous return to the heart. Neuraxial anesthesia reinforces this hypotension by causing a vasodilatation and venous pooling of blood in the lower limbs. The current practice is to tilt the parturient 15 degrees on the operating table after neuraxial anesthesia in order to decrease this hypotension. Recent meta-analysis suggests there is no conclusive evidence to support the tilt position. The goal of our study is to compare ultrasound vena cava variation measurements in the supine versus the tilt position in third trimester parturients undergoing elective cesarean delivery.
