HEMODYNAMIC EFFECTS OF LATERAL AND SITTING POSITIONS IN SPINAL ANESTHESIA INDUCTION FOR LOWER SEGMENT CAESAREAN SECTION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Аннотация

This comparative study aims to evaluate the hemodynamic effects of the lateral and sitting positions during the induction of spinal anesthesia for lower segment caesarean section (LSCS). The study examines changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation levels in pregnant women undergoing LSCS under spinal anesthesia in either the lateral or sitting position. A total of [number] pregnant women are included in the study, with half of them randomly assigned to the lateral position group and the other half to the sitting position group. Hemodynamic parameters are monitored at baseline, during the induction of spinal anesthesia, and at regular intervals throughout the surgery. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the optimal positioning for spinal anesthesia induction during LSCS, helping to ensure the safety and stability of maternal hemodynamics during the procedure.
