Impact of maternal lateral tilt on cardiac output during caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia: a prospective observational study
BACKGROUND: Left uterine displacement (LUD) has been questioned as an effective strategy to prevent aortocaval compression after spinal anesthesia (SA) for cesarean delivery (CD). We tested if LUD has a significant impact on cardiac output (CO) in patients undergoing CD under SA during continuous no...

Sumario: | BACKGROUND: Left uterine displacement (LUD) has been questioned as an effective strategy to prevent aortocaval compression after spinal anesthesia (SA) for cesarean delivery (CD). We tested if LUD has a significant impact on cardiac output (CO) in patients undergoing CD under SA during continuous non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring with Clearsight. METHODS: Forty-six patients were included in the final analysis. We considered 4 timepoints of 5 min each: T1 = baseline with LUD; T2 = baseline without LUD; T3 = after SA with LUD; T4 = after SA without LUD. LUD was then repositioned for CD. The primary outcome was to assess if CO decreased from T3 to T4 of at least 1.0 L/min. We also compared CO between T1 and T2 and other hemodynamic variables: mean, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (respectively MAP, SAP and DAP), heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), stroke volume variation (SVV), pulse pressure variation (PPV), contractility (dP/dt), dynamic arterial elastance (Ea(dyn)) at the different timepoints. Data on fetal Apgar scores and umbilical arterial and venous pH were collected. RESULTS: CO did not vary from T3 to T4 (CO mean difference -0.02 L/min [95% CI -0.88 to 0.82; P = 1). No significant variation was registered for any variable at any timepoint. CONCLUSIONS: LUD did not show a significant impact on CO during continuous hemodynamic monitoring after SA for CD.
