Compared Investigation into the Impact of Spinal Anaesthesia During Seating and Lateral Positions on the Cardiovascular State and Sensory Blockage Onset Time in LSCS

Abstract

AIM: - Examine whether the spinal anesthesia impacts the hemodynamic parameters and the beginning of sensory block through lateral and sitting postures of LSCS.

Material and method: - The study included a total of 60 patients and divided into Group S (patients receiving block in sitting position) and Group L (patients receiving block in lateral position). Each group consisted of 30 patients. The study analyzed the onset time of spinal anesthesia, height of sensory block, and hemodynamic parameters at different time intervals for both the sitting and lateral groups.

The study's data was collected and analyzed using the appropriate statistical methods in SPSS. The obtained results were compared using Repeated Measures ANOVA and One Way ANOVA.

Result: - From the study, the sitting position had a marginally higher action onset than the lateral position. Throughout the trial, the heart rates of patients from group S were marginally higher than the patients of group L. In both groups, the SpO2 of the study subjects was substantial. From the time before spinal Anesthesia to 6 minutes after spinal Anesthesia, study participant's blood pressure was higher in the group S than in the group L, and from the time interval of 8 minutes to 30 minutes, it was higher in the group L than in the group S.

Conclusion: With the evidence at hand, it is clear that a conclusion can be drawn. Based on these conclusive results, it is undeniable that... performing LSCS (Lower Segment Caesarean Section) under spinal block in the lateral position results in faster motor and sensory block, lesser anaesthetic consumption, and greater patient satisfaction. This is because the onset of action is shorter in lateral position than in sitting position.
