Summary

It is known that an increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) causes a decrease in the volume of cerebrospinal fluid in the lumbar and lower thoracic region, which may contribute to the development of more high spinal block.

Detailed description

There is a hypothesis, the higher the level of intra-abdominal pressure, the greater the likelihood of developing a high-level (=\>Th4) sensor block.

Conditions

• Obstetric Anesthesia Problems
• High-Risk Pregnancy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Measurement of IAP	The level of intra-abdominal pressure was measured via a Foley catheter through the urinary bladder. After the introduction of a 30 mL of warm saline. Measurement of the water column in the system was made from the zero level to the mid-axillary line, for 10 minutes, after quiet breathing pregnant at the time of expiration.
