Why the study?
What are the haemodynamic changes associated with elective caesarean section under epidural anaesthesia compared to pre-operative values?
What are the haemodynamic changes associated with elective caesarean section under epidural anaesthesia compared to pre-operative values?
Elective caesarean section under epidural anaesthesia is associated with transient increases in stroke volume and cardiac output post-delivery, followed by a significant reduction by 2 weeks postpartum.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant targeted haemodynamic monitoring after elective caesarean; extends observational data on peripartum changes but leaves open need for prospective validation.
Robson et al. (1989) studied this question.
