- Brief Summary
The recommended position of the mother under caesarean section after spinal anesthesia is 15 degrees left. However, recent research has challenged the basic principles and practicality of the left-turn 15 degree position. Higuchi et al used nuclear magnetic imaging to directly prove that in the supine position, the position of the full-left 30 degrees of the full-term pregnancy of the full-term pregnancy relieved the inferior vena cava compression and the left-angle of 15 degrees did not. Therefore, there are more and more controversies about the choice of cesarean section position. This experiment aims to explore effects of different positions (15 degrees left, 30 degrees left and supine) for elective cesarean section on lumbar anesthesia for fetal acid-base balance and maternal Hemodynamic.
- Detailed Description
When the pregnant woman in the third trimester is in the supine position, the enlarged uterus may oppress the inferior vena cava, thereby reducing the amount of blood and heart output of the pregnant woman. This affects the mother mainly, such as dizziness, nausea and vomiting, chills, and severe irritability，difficulty breathing or even cardiac arrest, the impact on the fetus is mainly the reduction of blood flow in the placenta, affecting the blood exchange of the uterus placenta, causing neonatal respiratory distress, acidosis and even death. The recommended position of the mother under caesarean section after spinal anesthesia is 15 degrees left. However, recent research has challenged the basic principles and practicality of the left-turn 15 degree position. Higuchi et al used nuclear magnetic imaging to directly prove that in the supine position, the position of the full-left 30 degrees of the full-term pregnancy of the full-term pregnancy relieved the inferior vena cava compression and the left-angle of 15 degrees did not. Therefore, there are more and more controversies about the choice of cesarean section position. This experiment aims to explore effects of different positions (15 degrees left, 30 degrees left and supine) for elective cesarean section on lumbar anesthesia for fetal acid-base balance and maternal Hemodynamic.

Group Intervention Description 15° group 15° and 30° wedge sponges After the patient completed the spinal anesthesia, the preoperative preparation (about 10 minutes) was completed with a left tilt of 15°, and the cesarean section was completed using the supine position after the skin was cut. Supine group 15° and 30° wedge sponges After the patient completes the spinal anesthesia, the cesarean section is completed in the supine position. 30° group 15° and 30° wedge sponges After the patient completed the spinal anesthesia, the preoperative preparation (about 10 minutes) was completed with a left tilt of 30°, and the cesarean section was completed using the supine position after the skin was cut.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Umbilical artery blood pH Immediately after delivery Use a blood gas analyzer to measure
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The incidence of nausea in pregnant women Intraoperative Anesthesiologist observes combined patient dictation.
The incidence of vomiting in pregnant women Intraoperative Anesthesiologist observes combined patient dictation
The incidence of bradycardia in pregnant women Intraoperative Heart rate less than 60 times per minute
Other UA and UV blood gas analysis values（pH, base excess, lactate , Umbilical artery blood PaCO2 Immediately after delivery Use a blood gas analyzer to measure, PaCO2 in mmHg.
The incidence of hypotension in pregnant women Intraoperative The increase of SBP \<20% baseline SBP or SBP \< 90/60mmHg
The incidence of hypertension in pregnant women Intraoperative The increase of SBP \>20% baseline SBP
Dosage of phenylephrine during surgery Intraoperative Used by an anesthesiologist based on the patient's blood pressure and heart rate.If the patient's blood pressure is less than 80% of the baseline level or less than 90/60 mmHg and the heart rate is greater than 60 times per minute, the patient is given 4 ug of phenylephrine.
Fetal Apgar score (1 minute after birth) And 5 minutes One minute and five minutes after the baby is delivered Measured by Apgar score.The Apgar scoring system is divided into five categories（muscle tone，heart rate，grimace and respiration) Appearance. Each category receives a score of 0 to 2 points. At most, a child will receive an overall score of 10（The higher the score, the better the child's condition）.
One min (T1), 3 min (T2), 5 min (T3), 7 min (T4), 9 min (T5), 11 min (T6), 13 min (T7) and 15 min (T8) blood pressure after subarachnoid injection (completion of the subarachnoid injection was defined as 0 time point) Intraoperative Measured by a sphygmomanometer.Systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be measured every minute during the study.
One min (T1), 3 min (T2), 5 min (T3), 7 min (T4), 9 min (T5), 11 min (T6), 13 min (T7) and 15 min (T8) heart rate after subarachnoid injection (completion of the subarachnoid injection was defined as 0 time point) Intraoperative Obtained by ECG measurement
Dosage of ephedrine during surgery Intraoperative Used by an anesthesiologist based on the patient's blood pressure and heart rate.If the patient's blood pressure is less than 80% of the baseline level or less than 90/60 mmHg and the heart rate is smaller than 60 times per minute, the patient is given 6 mg of ephedrine.
Dosage of atropine during surgery Intraoperative Used by an anesthesiologist based on the patient's blood pressure and heart rate.If the patient's heart rate is smaller than 60 times per minute, and blood pressure is more than 80% of the baseline level and more than 90/60 mmHg， the patient is given 0.5 mg of atropine.
