A new method for detecting inferior vena cava compression in term parturients
Annual Scientific Meeting in Anaesthesiology 2006 – 18th ~ 19th November 2006 (HKCEC) 11
Aortocaval Compression in Pregnancy
• Compression of abdominal aorta & inferior vena cava by the gravid uterus
• Positioning of parturient – to minimize haemodynamic disturbance
• Compression of abdominal aorta & inferior vena cava by the gravid uterus
• Positioning of parturient – to minimize haemodynamic disturbance
22
Effects of inferior vena cava compression
Compensatory mechanisms:
Maternal Heart rate Systemic vascular resistance
Collateral circulation: azygous vein, vertebral plexus & epidural venous plexus
Compression of IVC by gravid uterus
Venous return to heart
Right atrial pressure / Preload / CO / SV
Uterine blood flow Fetal compromise
33
Established methods to detect ACC
Directly:
• Angiography to visualize aortic compression
• Venography - Presence of collateral circulations
Azygous vein, vertebral plexus & epidural venous plexus
• Less invasive modalities
MRI, CT
Abdominal US scan

Established methods to detect ACC
Indirectly:
• Detection of femoral / brachial hypotension
Gradient of BP femoral artery vs. BP brachial artery
BP femoral artery > BP brachial artery
• Haemodynamic disturbance
Cardiac Output
Compensatory mechanisms ( Heart rate and SVR)

Study Objective
To develop an easier bedside method for detecting inferior vena cava compression in parturients
We hypothesize that:
Observing for phasic blood flow in the femoral vein using ultrasound can be used to detect inferior vena cava compression in term parturients.

Phasicity test of femoral vein
• To study the changes after direct abdominal insonation of IVC
• Respiratory phasicity test (Spectral Doppler US) Quiet breathing Deep breathing Valsalva manoeuvre (15 cmH2O PEEP valve)

Summary: Venous phasicity of femoral vein
• In patients with partial IVC compression Loss of phasicity during - Quiet breathing Phasicity restored - Deep breathing & Valsalva Minimal haemodynamic disturbance Increased respiratory phasicity at 15º
• In patients with complete IVC compression Loss of phasicity during - Quiet / Deep breathing & Valsalva More severe haemodynamic disturbance
• Effects of lateral tilts Phasicity restored during quiet breathing at 15º Direct abdominal scan at ~T9 – Improved IVC patency
• In patients with partial IVC compression Loss of phasicity during - Quiet breathing Phasicity restored - Deep breathing & Valsalva Minimal haemodynamic disturbance Increased respiratory phasicity at 15º
• In patients with complete IVC compression Loss of phasicity during - Quiet / Deep breathing & Valsalva More severe haemodynamic disturbance

Conclusions
• Venous phasicity test – Detection of IVC compression
• ? Superseed abdominal scan
• Limitations of direct abdominal scan:
Time consuming
View obstructed by fetus (Fetal orientation)
Inadequate penetration (Gravid uterus increases depth of IVC)
Open vessel ≠ Presence of flow

Conclusions
• Venous phasicity test:
Non-invasive, reproducible and convenient
Includes functional collateral circulation
Familiar anatomy – femoral catheters
Preliminary investigation shows feasibility
Further study to improve and modify present methodology
and confirm clinical utility
