A comparison of blood pressure monitoring on the upper arm and calf in patients under spinal anaesthesia

Completed

Brief Summary: This study is conducted to understand the clinical similarity and relevance of blood pressure values between arm and calf .Blood pressuremonitoring plays an important role in intraoperative patient monitoring torecognize and prevent spinal induced hypotension. Measurement of blood pressureon the calf in the patients under subarachnoid block is more convenient as thelimb movement is restricted and motion artefact is prevented. Hencethis study involves observation of blood pressure on the calf and arm.
