Brief Summary

The perfusion index (PI) is a numerical value for the ratio between pulsatile and non-pulsatile blood flow measured by a special pulse oximeter. PI represents the baseline sympathetic tone which is assumed one of the factors contributing for hypotension. Patients with low PI were reported by Mahendale and Rajasekhar to show greater hypotension after induction of anesthesia. This was explained by the high sympathetic tone in these patients which is suddenly masked by propofol administration leading to profound hypotension. This study aims to evaluate the ability of preoperative plethysmographic variability index, perfusion index and the Dicrotic Plethysmography to predict post-induction hypotension.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The area under receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve for perfusion index to predict hypotension after induction of anesthesia

    PI will be recorded in the supine position by an anaesthesiologist who was not involved in the further intraoperative monitoring of the patient using Masimo SET

    10 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Mean arterial blood pressure

    15 minutes

  • Plethysmographic variability index

    10 minutes

  • Dicrotic Plethysmography

    10 minutes

  • Incidence of post-induction hypotension

    15 minutes after induction of anesthesia

  • Heart rate

    5 minutes

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

study group

adult patients (18-59 years), ASA I-II-III, scheduled for elective surgeries under general anaesthesia.

Device: Perfusion index derived parameters

Interventions

The PVI and PI will be recorded in the supine position by an anaesthesiologist who was not involved in the further intraoperative monitoring of the patient using Masimo SET ("MightySat 9900, Masimo Corporation, Irvine, CA, USA). This device allows bluetooth radio for transfer of parameter data to a smart device. The device will be applied on the index finger of the dominant hand of each patient. It will be applied on the hand that neither contains the venous line nor the blood pressure cuff. Three measurements of PVI and PI on one minute interval will be recorded. We will use the average of these readings. Dicpleth is defined as the ratio of the height of the dicrotic notch to the height of the systolic peak, measured at end-expiratory time.
