Effect of Intra-abdominal Pressure to the Level of the Sensory Block at Caesarean Section Under Spinal Anesthesia
Effect of Intra-abdominal Pressure to the Level of the Sensory Block at Caesarean Section Under Spinal Anesthesia
It is known that an increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) causes a decrease in the
 volume of cerebrospinal fluid in the lumbar and lower thoracic region, which may contribute
 to the development of more high spinal block.
There is a hypothesis, the higher the level of intra-abdominal pressure, the greater the
 likelihood of developing a high-level (=>Th4) sensor block.
