Currently there is no guideline to decide on the most appropriate dose of spinal anaesthesia.
This study is planned to find out factors that influence the effect of spinal anaesthesia in
pregnant mother going for Caesarean section and both the mother and baby’s outcomes.
Investigators will recruit pregnant mothers who are planned for elective Caesarean section
under spinal anaesthesia at University Malaya Medical Centre before operation and obtained
their consent to participate in this study. Routine standard care will be provided for all
the participants. Perioperative data including vertebral column length and abdominal girth
measured by measuring tape will be collected and analysed. There is no new intervention
performed on participants.
