متن کاملFetal blood flow during intrathecal anaesthesia for elective caesarean section.
Fetal aortic and umbilical blood flows were studied in 15 mothers before and during spinal (intrathecal) anaesthesia for elective Caesarean section, using a method combining real-time ultrasonography and a pulsed Doppler technique. Spinal anaesthesia with 0.5% bupivacaine hydrochloride 2.5 ml in 8% glucose monohydrate solution was administered after preloading with 2 litre of lactated Ringer's ...
