Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To identify risk factors for developing hypotension after spinal anaesthesia in patients undergoing caesarean section. <br/ ><br>To correlate maternal, foetal, anaesthesia and surgery related variables with hypotension after spinal anaesthesia.Timepoint: Immediately after spinal anaesthesia, patients were placed in supine position. Blood pressure was measured and noted down for the first 30 minutes after spinal anaesthesia, every 2 minutes for the first 10 minutes and every 5 minutes for the remaining 20 minutes.
