Primary outcomePrimary: The Level of Intra-abdominal Pressure (IAP) — 15.33 mm Hg
Summary
It is known that an increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) causes a decrease in the volume of cerebrospinal fluid in the lumbar and lower thoracic region, which may contribute to the development of more high spinal block.
