Abstract
It is well documented that in patients in whom the fetal head is firmly engaged in the pelvis, the risk from inferior vena caval compression when lying supine and during spinal anaesthesia is reduced. 1 Thus the position of the fetal head is important in the development of the supine hypotensive syndrome. We investigated cardiovascular changes in women with breech presentations undergoing caesarean section by measuring blood pressure, heart rate and cardiac output before and during spinal anaesthesia.
