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

NCT03555799 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 42

Last updated 2019-07-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

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.
