Abstract
13 women with uncomplicated singleton pregnancies receiving epidural anesthesia for elective cesarean section underwent pulsed Doppler determination of maternal, uteroplacental and umbilical circulations. Data accumulated included resistance and pulsatility indices in the umbilical circulation, peak and mean velocities in the maternal femoral artery, mean femeral vein velocity, venous and arterial diastolic diameters, maternal BP and HR, FHR, and resistance and pulsatility indices in the uteroplacental circulation. Data were obtained before and after administration of epidural bupivacaine. All measurements were performed after prehydration and in the left semirecumbent position.
