Abstract

Ultrasound provides a valuable non-invasive approach for fluid management in obstetric anesthesia. Ultrasonographic parameters assist anesthesiologists to effectively assess the fluid status of parturients and reduce related complications. In addition to conventional parameters, which have been widely validated in clinical practice, we provide new insights into arterial parameters such as peak velocity, velocity-time integral, corrected flow time, and vein-related parameters, including the internal jugular vein and its collapsibility index, the inferior vena cava and its collapsibility index, as well as subclavian vein and its collapsibility index. These parameters can potentially enhance fluid management in obstetric anesthesia.
