Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The incidence of post-spinal anesthesia hypotension

    Systolic blood pressure (SBP) \< 80% of the baseline

    1-15 minutes after spinal anesthesia

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • Overall stability of systolic blood pressure control versus baseline

    1-15 minutes after spinal anesthesia

  • Overall stability of heart rate control versus baseline

    1-15 minutes after spinal anesthesia

  • The incidence of severe post-spinal anesthesia hypotension

    1-15 minutes after spinal anesthesia

  • The incidence of nausea and vomiting

    1-15 minutes after spinal anesthesia

  • The incidence of bradycardia

    1-15 minutes after spinal anesthesia

  • +6 more secondary outcomes
