Abstract

BACKGROUND: Till date, little is known about normal values of IAP during pregnancy, either in healthy or complicated pregnancies. In 1913, Paramore was the rst to investigate IAP during pregnancy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study population consisted of 100 term parturients, ASAgrade I and II, aged 20-40 years scheduled for elective lower segment caesarean section under SAB. Foley's catheter was inserted in all patients pre-operatively under sterile technique. IAP measurements were recorded using intra-bladder pressure measurement. Mid axillary line at the level of iliac crest was taken as zero reference point, in supine position. RESULTS: In the present study, IAP was physiologically normal in 27% of patients, Degree I of intra-abdominal hypertension [IAH] was observed in 55% of patients and Degree II of IAH was observed in 18% of patients.
