Key result
Uncalibrated LiDCO rapid monitor tracks consistent hemodynamic changes after spinal anesthesia during cesarean sections.
Why the study?
Hemodynamic changes during cesarean section under spinal anesthesia are diagnosed by non-invasive BP and HR measurements that are delayed and inaccurate, while other cardiac output monitors are invasive or inaccurate.
Does a minimally invasive uncalibrated cardiac output monitor (LiDCO rapid) provide consistent hemodynamic data in patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia?

Minimally invasive uncalibrated CO monitoring appears feasible in cesarean under spinal; leaves open accuracy, utility, and need for validation before any clinical role.

Does a minimally invasive uncalibrated cardiac output monitor (LiDCO rapid) provide consistent hemodynamic data in patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia?
The uncalibrated LiDCO rapid monitor showed a tendency for consistent hemodynamic data in obstetric patients and may be used as a therapeutic guide or experimental tool.
Bliacheriene et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Cesarean section under spinal anesthesia (n=4). LiDCO rapid monitor was evaluated on Hemodynamic changes (cardiac output, heart rate, and blood pressure). In 4 patients undergoing cesarean section, the uncalibrated LiDCO rapid monitor detected consistent hemodynamic trends, including a fall in BP and increase in HR and CO after spinal anesthesia.
