Summary

This study tested whether wearing compression stockings or raising the legs during a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia helps prevent dangerously low blood pressure. 90 pregnant women were split into three groups: one wore stockings, one had legs elevated, and one received standard care. Both simple methods kept blood pressure more stable and reduced the need for emergency medication, without harming the baby.
