Article Synopsis
- Researchers explored how to identify patients at risk for spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension during C-sections using ultrasound measurements of heart rate and cardiac parameters.
- The study involved pregnant women undergoing elective C-sections and effective data analysis via ultrasound to measure key heart function metrics before administration of anesthesia.
- Results showed that a combination of heart rate, left ventricular end-diastolic area, and velocity time integral was a better predictor of hypotension than using heart rate or end-diastolic area alone.
The utilization of transperineal ultrasound following fetal heart deceleration after epidural analgesia: a case report.
BMC Pregnancy Childbirth
November 2022
Background: We report a case of fetal heart rate decelerations and relaxation of pelvic muscles and fetal descent using transperineal ultrasound after initiation of epidural labor analgesia.
Case Presentation: A 32-year-old woman, G1P0 with gestational age of 40 weeks, required epidural analgesia when her cervical dilatation was 2 cm. Baseline transperineal ultrasound examination was performed before epidural puncture.
The change in maternal hemodynamics during cesarean section has not been well studied. Continuous transthoracic echocardiography can monitor cardiac function continuously. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of maternal hemodynamic parameters monitoring during cesarean section using continuous transthoracic echocardiography.
