Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the researchers in this prospective study is to determine the differences, if any, in terms of anesthetic parameters among pregnant women who live at different altitudes and undergo cesarean section under neuraxial anesthesia under elective conditions and to contribute to the literature.


Clinical Trial Description

Increased intra-abdominal pressure during pregnancy increases the pressure in the epidural and spinal space and causes enlargement of the epidural veins. This may lead to easier increases in the anesthetic blockage level. For this reason, it is necessary to use the lowest possible dose of local anesthesia in these individuals compared to normal healthy individuals. The literature on the effect of altitude difference on central neuraxial block is limited. Based on studies showing changes in CSF volume and content in hypoxic conditions, According to the researchers, with the same amount of local anesthetic, the duration of sensory and motor blockade at sea level is thought to be equal to or longer than in mid-high regions. This study will be carried out among pregnant women who live in the city center at 3 different altitudes [0-10 m (Giresun), 810 m (Çorum), 1725 m (Van)] and undergo cesarean section under elective conditions. It will be performed in a multicenter, prospective, controlled, randomized manner in order to determine the differences, if any, among these pregnant women in terms of anesthetic parameters. ;
