Abstract
The effect on uteroplacental blood flow of an epidural anaesthesia containing adrenaline for caesarean section was investigated in ten healthy women using dynamic placental scintigraphy with indium‐113m and a computer‐linked gamma camera. The epidural anaesthesia was performed with 18–22 ml bupivacaine 5mg/ml with adrenaline 2.5 μg/ml followed by an i.v. balanced electrolyte infusion of 10 ml/kg b.w. A significant median decrease in the total maternal placental blood flow of 34% was found (PPP<0.05).Keywords
