Summary

This study looked at 107 pregnant women having planned C-sections to see if belly size and internal belly pressure affect how high spinal anesthesia spreads. Researchers measured these factors before surgery and checked the numbness level after anesthesia. The goal is to better understand why spinal blocks vary among pregnant women, which could help improve anesthesia safety and effectiveness.
