Abstract

Aim: The supine position can cause maternofetal complications by exacerbating hypotension resulting from spinal anesthesia (SA). The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effect of positioning the patient with a 15˚ left lateral incline and both positioning and elevating both legs on SA-induced hypotension. 

Methods: This randomized clinical study was conducted on 200 pregnant women who underwent cesarean section in a university hospital between November 1, 2016 and April 15, 2017.

Pregnant women were separated into 2 groups as the 15˚ left lateral incline (Group 1) and the 15˚ left lateral incline and leg elevation group (Group 2). Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) values, ephedrine use, neonatal APGAR scores and umbilical cord vein blood gas analysis samples were compared at varying times. After administration of SA, MAP and HR were recorded at the second, fourth, sixth, eighth and tenth minutes until delivery of the infant, every five minutes after delivery until the 30th postpartum minute, and at the end of the surgery. 

Results: Two and four minutes after the administration of SA and 20 minutes after delivery, mean HR values of group 2 were significantly higher than that of group 1 (P=0.002, P=0.005, P=0.006, respectively). MAP values were similar in both groups at all time points, however, a greater number of patients in group 1 had MAP <60 mmHg and HR <60 bpm at two and six minutes after the administration of SA. 

Conclusion: Positioning the table at a 15˚ incline and leg elevation during ceasarian section may provide maternofetal benefits by reducing the frequency of post-spinal hypotension in pregnant women.

Sezaryen seksiyolarda 15˚ sol lateral eğime eklenen bacak elevasyonunun maternal hipotansiyon ve yenidoğan sonuçları üzerine etkisi: Randomize klinik çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Sırtüstü pozisyon, spinal anesteziden (SA) kaynaklanan hipotansiyonu arttırarak maternofetal komplikasyonlara neden olabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, SA uygulanan sezaryenlerde 15˚ sol lateral eğim ve bacak elevasyonu yöntemlerinin, SA'nın oluşturduğu hipotansiyon üzerine etkilerini araştırmaktır.

Yöntemler: Randomize klinik bu çalışma 1 Kasım 2016 ile 15 Nisan 2017 tarihleri arasında bir üniversite hastanesinde sezaryen uygulanan 200 gebede yapıldı.

Gebeler, 15˚ sol lateral eğim (grup 1) ve 15˚ sol lateral eğim+bacak elevasyon grubu (grup 2) olarak 2 gruba ayrıldı. Hastaların değişik zamanlardaki ortalama arter kan basıncı (OAB) ve kalp atım hızı (KAH) değerleri, efedrin kullanımları ile neonatal APGAR skorları ve umblikal kord veni kan gazı analiz örnekleri karşılaştırıldı. SA uygulamasından sonra OAB ve KAH değerleri, bebeğin doğumuna kadar 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. dakikalar ve doğumdan sonra her 5 dakikada bir kaydedildi. Benzer şekilde, bu değerler doğum sonrası 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. dakikalar ve cerrahi bitiminde değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: SA uygulamasından 2-4 dakika sonra, KAH değerlerinin grup 2'de anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu belirlendi (sırasıyla; P=0,002, P=0,005). OAB değerleri her iki grupta tüm zaman noktalarında benzer olup, doğumdan 20 dakika sonraki KAH değerleri grup 2'de yüksekti (P=0,006). Bebeğin doğumundan önce SA’den 2-6. dakikalar sonrasındaki, OAB <60 mmHg ve KAH <60 atım olan hasta sayısı grup 1'de daha fazla idi.

Sonuç: Masanın 15˚'lik bir eğimde konumlandırması ve bacakların elevasyonu, gebelerde postspinal hipotansiyon sıklığını azaltarak maternofetal faydalar sağlayabilir.
