Evaluation of extravascular lung water and cardiac function in normal vaginal delivery by intrapartum bedside ultrasound.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Healthy parturients may experience pulmonary edema and disturbed cardiac function during labor. We aimed to evaluate the extravascular lung water (EVLW), intravascular volume, and cardiac function of normal parturients during spontaneous vaginal delivery by bedside ultrasound. And to explore the correlation between EVLW and intravascular volume, cardiac function.

Methods

This was a prospective observational study including 30 singleton-term pregnant women undergoing spontaneous vaginal delivery. Bedside ultrasound was performed at the early labor, the end of the second stage of labor, 2 and 24 h postpartum, and 120 scanning results were recorded. EVLW was evaluated by the echo comet score (ECS) obtained by the 28-rib interspaces technique. Inferior vena cava colla
