The intraoperative 15° left-tilt position during cesarean delivery has more recently been questioned regarding its effect on fetal acid-base balance and is a frequent source of complaints by surgeons. We hypothesized that a 30° left-tilt position during surgical preparation could improve the acid-base balance of the fetus compared with the 15° left-tilt or supine position during surgical preparation.
