Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Antenatal patient undergoing caeserean section

• Registration Number: CTRI/2018/01/011360
• Lead Sponsor: Head of the Department

Brief Summary

**Aim**: this study aims at investigating the correlation between baseline perfusion index and incidence of hypotension following subarachnoid block in LSCS patients

**Methodology**: Prospective observational study. The perfusion Index is measured in supine position is in  pulseoximeter probe after spinal anaesthesia in elective caeserean patient



**Parameters**: preop baseline values of blood pressure is noted  with primary outcome for incidence of hypotension & secondary outcome total vasopressor required to correct hypotension & incidence of bradycardia were recorded
