Methods	Treatment allocation: Women were allocated to receive general, epidural or spinal anaesthesia according to a random chart. Allocation concealment: No details given. Documentation of exclusions: No exclusions. Blinding of outcome assessment: Not mentioned. Losses to follow up: None.
Participants	Inclusion criteria: 99 healthy parturients (ASA 1) presenting for elective caesarean section. Exclusion criteria: None mentioned. Number lost to follow up: None.
Interventions	Spinal anaesthesia: 22‐24 gauge needle inserted in the lateral position at L2‐3 or L3‐4. 1.2‐1.5 ml of 1% bupivacaine injected slowly. Epidural anaesthesia: Tuohy needle, lateral position, L2‐3 or L3‐4, loss of resistance to air, 12‐20 ml 0.5% bupivacaine injected slowly. Women were then placed supine with a wedge under the right hip. Women in the epidural and spinal groups were infused with 750‐1000 ml of balanced salt solution within 5‐10 minutes after injection of local anaesthetic.
