Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery is Associated With Decreases in Regional Cerebral Oxygen Saturation as Assessed by Near- Infrared Spectroscopy

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Cerebral Oxygen Saturation During Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery
Registration Number
NCT01669135
Lead Sponsor
University of Athens
Brief Summary

The cerebral oxygen saturation is assessed by means of near-infrared spectometry in parturients undergoing cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. The investigators hypothesis was that spinal anesthesia does not influence cerebral oxygen saturation.

Study & Design

Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Study Design
SINGLE_GROUP
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
cerebral oxygen saturation of the right frontal lobeChange from the performing of spinal anesthesia untill 1 minute after delivery

Cerebral oxygen saturation is important as it may affect patient's outcome

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
cerebral oxygen saturation of the left frontal lobe5, 10, 50 min after spinal,1 minute after delivery

Cerebral oxygen saturation is important for patient's outcome

Thigh oxygen saturation5, 10, 50 min after spinal, 1 minute after delivery

Thigh oxygen saturation may reflect blood redistribution due to spinal block

Arterial Oxygenation5, 10, 50 min after spinal, 1 minute after delivery

Changes in arterial oxygenation may reflect blood redistribution due to spinal block
