Overview

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

•Term healthy parturients

Exclusion Criteria

•Body Mass Index \> 35
•preeclampsia
•neurological,cardiovascular, respiratory disease

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

cerebral oxygen saturation of the right frontal lobe

Time Frame: Change from the performing of spinal anesthesia untill 1 minute after delivery

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

Secondary Outcomes

cerebral oxygen saturation of the left frontal lobe(5, 10, 50 min after spinal,1 minute after delivery)
Thigh oxygen saturation(5, 10, 50 min after spinal, 1 minute after delivery)
Arterial Oxygenation(5, 10, 50 min after spinal, 1 minute after delivery)
