Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
•To determine the predictive value of Pleth variability index (PVI) at the end of a 15-sec maximal inspiratory breath hold in the sitting position before spinal anaesthesia in predicting the occurrence of hypotension, defined as a fall in MAP by 20% from baseline or SBP less than 80 mm of Hg in elderly patients.Timepoint: Baseline and every 2 minutes for 10 minutes, followed by every 5 minutes till 30 minutes from spinal drug injection.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1. To determine the predictive value of change in PVI (baseline & after 15 sec breath hold) & occurrence of post-spinal hypotension in elderly patients. <br/ ><br>2. To determine the predictive value of baseline PI in the development of hypotensive response to spinal anaesthesia. <br/ ><br>3. To find the incidence of hypotension in the elderly population following spinal anaesthesia. <br/ ><br>4. Incidence of baseline hypothermia <br/ ><br>Timepoint: From induction of spinal anaesthesia to 24 hours after surgery
