Key result
Moving full-term parturients from the left lateral to lateral tilt position resulted in a lower femoral vein area (82.2 vs 96.2 mm2, p<0.001) compared to moving from supine to lateral tilt.
Why the study?
Does positioning from left lateral to left lateral tilt prevent aortocaval compression better than positioning from supine to left lateral tilt in full-term parturients?

Left lateral-to-tilt positioning better prevents aortocaval compression than supine-to-tilt in full-term parturients; extends RCT evidence on optimal obstetric sequences.

Absolute Event Rate: 82.2% vs 96.2%
p-value: p=< 0.001
Moving a full-term parturient from the full left lateral to the lateral tilt position prevents aortocaval compression more efficiently than moving from a supine to left lateral tilt position.
Kundra et al. (2012) conducted an RCT in Full-term parturients (n=51). Left lateral-to-tilt position vs. Supine-to-tilt position was evaluated on Femoral vein area (mm2) (p=< 0.001). Moving full-term parturients from the left lateral to lateral tilt position resulted in a lower femoral vein area (82.2 vs 96.2 mm2, p<0.001) compared to moving from supine to lateral tilt.
