THE IMPACT OF PATIENTS POSITIONING ON HAEMODYNAMICS DURING COMBINED SPINAL-EPIDURAL ANAESTHESIA: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY

Abstract

Introduction- Spinal anaesthesia is the most commonly used method of anaesthesia and analgesia in below umbilical surgeries. Combined spinal epidural (CSE) anaesthesia gives more prolonged anaesthesia and analgesia than spinal anaesthesia. Position of patient may be particularly important because the different level of block may affect the hemodynamic changes.
