Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1. To assess the role of carotid artery corrected flow time(FTc) in prediction pf post spinal anaesthesia hypotension in spontaneously breathing patientsTimepoint: Cycle time will be calculated by measuring the interval between heart beats at the beginning of the doppler flow upstroke <br/ ><br>Flow time will be calculated from the beginning og the systolic upstroke to the dicrotic notch <br/ ><br>FTc will be calculated by dividing the flow time by the square root of cycle time.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1.To assess the role of carotid artery velocity time integral and carotid artery peak velocity variation(CAPVV)in prediction of post spinal anaesthesia hypotension in spontaneously breathing patientsTimepoint: 1.Velocity time integral is a parameter used to calculate the blood flow across a cross sectional area <br/ ><br>2.Carotid artery peak velocity variation (CAPVV) will be measured as difference between the maximum and minimum values of peak velocity over a single respiratory cycle dividing it by average of that
