Preoperative Data and the Spinal Spread of Local Anesthetic in Cesarean Section
Sponsor: Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education
Summary
This study is designed to assess possible relation between the anthropometric data of pregnant women at term, as well as their babies, and the maximal level of sensory blockade following spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. The debate regarding this relation is ongoing. Although there is some relevant data in favor of both lack and the presence of significant relation between these variables, it is still not clear whether the same dose of local anesthetic is similarly effective, regardless of parturient's and fetal size.

Interventions
Spinal block level analysis
Relation of pregnancy - related, maternal and neonatal data to the level of sensory blockade in the whole study group will be assessed. Only cases with 12.5mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine will be included.
Data collection
Intervention is to retrieve and analyse anonymous perioperative data. After identification of eligible cases, statistical analysis will be performed
Sub-group analysis
Relation of pregnancy - related, maternal and neonatal data to the level of sensory blockade in the sub-groups of different height (\<165cm and \>165cm) will also be performed.
