Postspinal Hypotension and Cardiac Performance in the Elderly

Completed
Conditions
ARTHROPLASTY, REPLACEMENT; ANESTHESIA
Registration Number
NCT02978066
Lead Sponsor
Karolinska Institutet
Brief Summary

Patients, scheduled for elective arthroplasty were monitored with Lithium Dilution Cardiac Output monitor (LiDCOplus™) before and 45 minutes after spinal anesthesia. Hypotension was defined as systolic blood pressure ≤ 100 mmHg or ≥ 30% decrease from baseline. Associations between hypotension and the hemodynamic changes after preanaesthetic fluid loading and spinal anesthesia were analysed by logistic regression analyses.
