Standard lateral tilt suffices for maternal cardiac output; challenges assumption that greater angles provide benefit in healthy pregnancies.
Does increasing the magnitude of lateral table tilt improve maternal cardiac output in healthy pregnancy?
Extremes of lateral table tilt are unnecessary to improve maternal cardiac output in healthy pregnancies.
Bamber et al. (2003) studied this question. Increasing the magnitude of lateral table tilt provided no demonstrable benefit for maternal cardiac output in healthy pregnant women.
