Brief Summary

Aims



The aim of this study was to determine

whether a baseline PI can predict hypotension

and shivering after spinal anesthesia for

caesarean section.



Material & Methodology



We will record baseline perfusion index of patient



Then predict if according to that base value if there

are chances of hypotension and shivering or not



If our prediction is true or false we will grade them as

true positive , true negative , false positive and false

negative.



Patients of ASA Grade I & II posted for caesarean

section to be included & divided into two groups.



Benefit:



Preoperative perfusion index can predict post-anesthetic

shivering in patients undergoing caesarean section with spinal

anesthesia.
