Abstract

In the last decade, spinal anesthesia with the epidural volume extension has become a popular technique for Cesarean Section. Hemodynamic stability during this procedure, is the main cause of its attempts to widespread use. However, unresolved question is relative to the volume of saline injected into the epidural space. Our study shows the dependence of injected saline from the intra-abdominal pressure.
