Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The spinal anesthesia in a cesarean section is still presenting a challenge to the anesthetist in the form of either severe hypotension from large bupivacaine dose or insufficient satisfactory anesthesia level conditions as a result of small bupivacaine dose. In this study, we tried to solve this challenge by increasing the dose of bupivacaine to achieve a proper spinal level accompanied by prolonged sitting up to avoid hypotension.
