Abdominal girth, vertebral column length and spread of intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine in the term parturient

Highlights • Physical variables may predict the spread of spinal anaesthesia in term parturients. • Abdominal girth correlated negatively with spinal spread. • Vertebral column length correlated positively with spinal spread. • These findings may be due to effects on lumbosacral cerebrospinal fluid...
