Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

No Intervention

Arm Label

LE: leg elevation group

CG: Control group

Arm Description

the patients of this group will be positionned in supine with 15° left tilt and will have a leg elevation with a 30 cm pillow positionned under the heels. this position will be hold immediately after spinal anesthesia until fetal extraction

The patients of this group will be positiooned in supine with 15° left tlit after spinal anesthesia. no leg elevation

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Prospective trial including full term parturients scheduled for a cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. patients are being randomly assigned into 2 groups: LE group: will be positioned in 15° left tilt with leg elevation with a 30cm height pillow under the heels, this position will be hold after spinal anesthesia until fetal extraction. Control group: will be positioned in supine with 15° left tilt. the 2 groups will receive a 10ml/kg of crystalloid co-load intravenously, and the spinal anesthesia will be performed in sitting position with the same dose of Bupivacain, morphine and sufentanil.
