Study to Detect Hypotensive Episodes During Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Section Using a Noninvasive Continuous Device

Completed

• Conditions: Hypotension

• Registration Number: NCT01157520
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein

Brief Summary

Hypotension after spinal anesthesia for Cesarean section occurs in up to 90% usually under five minutes after local anesthetics administration. These changes are poorly depicted by oscillometric measurements. The investigators hypothesized, that a continuous noninvasive device detects more hypotensive periods with lower blood pressures.
