| Abstract | Background and aims: Spinal anesthesia has become the choice of neuraxial anesthesia for cesarean delivery. Hypotension, the most common side effect of spinal anesthesia is more in parturients. Perfusion index (PI) is one of the newest methods, used noninvasively for the prediction of hypotension postspinal anesthesia, evaluation of regional block success, and a tool for pain assessment. In our study, we have used PI for predicting the occurrence of hypotension postsubarachnoid block in elective lower segment cesarean section (LSCS). Methods: In this prospective observational study, parturients posted for elective LSCS under spinal anesthesia were included. Spinal anesthesia was performed at L Statistical analysis used: Statistical analysis was performed using the paired sample Results: From our study, we had found that a positive correlation exists between the baseline PI of the patient and the occurrence of hypotension intraoperatively. A cutoff value of 1.75 (with Conclusion: Baseline perfusion of >1.75 can predict hypotension postspinal anesthesia in LSCS. The incidence of hypotension was about 93% in parturients whose baseline was above the cutoff value. |
