Abstract:
:Ninety-seven parturients undergoing elective Caesarean section were allocated randomly to have their legs elevated to approximately 30 degrees on pillows or elevated and wrapped with elasticated Esmarch bandages or neither (controls) following spinal anaesthesia. All patients received intravenous crystalloid (20 ml.kg-1 over 20 min) prior to spinal injection and were placed in the left lateral tilt position. Significant hypotension was treated with intravenous ephedrine in 5 mg bolus doses. Leg wrapping resulted in a significant reduction in the incidence of postspinal hypotension in comparison to the control group (18% compared to 53%, p = 0.004). This represents a five-fold reduction in the likelihood of postspinal hypotension (odds ratio 5.3, 95% CI 1.7-16.3). Leg elevation alone did not significantly reduce the incidence of hypotension (39%). There was no significant difference in the time of onset of hypotension between the groups. For those patients requiring ephedrine, there was no significant difference in mean dose requirements between the groups. The use of leg compression immediately postspinal provides a simple means of reducing the accompanying hypotension and should be used more widely.
