Popis: Background: The study tested the hypothesis that the incidence of hypotension during spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section is less in parturients who remain in the sitting position for 3 min compared with parturients who are placed in the modified supine position immediately after induction of spinal anesthesia. Methods: Spinal anaesthesia was induced with the woman in the sitting position using 2.8 ml hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% at the L3−4 or L2−3 interspace. Ninety-eight patients scheduled for elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia were randomised to assume the supine position on an operating table tilted 10° to the left (modified supine position) immediately after spinal injection (group 0, n=52) or to remain in the sitting position for 3 min before they also assumed the modified supine position (group 3, n=46). Isotonic saline 2–300 ml was given intravenously over 15 min before spinal injection followed by 15 ml/kg over 15–20 min after induction of spinal anaesthesia. If the systolic blood pressure decreased to less than 70% of baseline or to less than 100 mmHg or if there was any complaint of nausea, ephedrine was given in 5 mg boluses intravenously every 2 min. Results: The blood pressure decreased significantly in both groups following spinal injection (P
