NCT05174260

Brief Summary

In routine practice, the preferred anesthesia method in cesarean section operations is spinal anesthesia, but it causes hypotension in a significant part of the patients. In this study, the researchers planned to evaluate the perfusion index (PI) and pleth variability index (PVI) values at different positions to predict hypotension after spinal anesthesia applied for cesarean section. When hypotension is severe and persistent, it may cause uteroplacental perfusion disorder, fetal hypoxia-acidosis, and neonatal neurological damage as well as nausea-vomiting, loss of consciousness, cardiac arrest and collapse in the mother(2) If hemodynamic changes such as hypotension and bradycardia are present, symptoms may occur. . Early intervention with vasoconstrictor agents will be provided to prevent the emergence of the disease, disturbing symptoms and other complications that may occur will be prevented.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • perfusion index (PI)

    Before and after spinal anesthesia, 4 measurements will be made until the baby is born, and 1 more measurement will be made after routine oxytocin. Its relationship with hemodynamic deterioration will be examined and compared between both groups.In basal values of PI and the rate of change of these values; There was no significant difference between the groups with and without hypotension.

    perioperative

  • pleth variability index (PVI)

    Before and after spinal anesthesia, 4 measurements will be made until the baby is born, and 1 more measurement will be made after routine oxytocin. Its relationship with hemodynamic deterioration will be examined and compared between both groups.In basal values of PVI and the rate of change of these values; There was no significant difference between the groups with and without hypotension.

    perioperative

  • BMİ-weight,

    There was no difference in BMI and weight values between patients who developed and did not develop hypotension after spinal anesthesia

    preoperratif value

  • hemoglobin

    Hemoglobin (p=0.014) and hematocrit (p=0.012) values weres ignificantly lower in pregnant women who developed hypotension

    preoperatif value

  • APGAR

    The 1st minute APGAR (p=0.005= and 5th minute APGAR (p=0.014) scores were significantly lower in the babies of pregnant women who developed hypotension.

    the 1st minute APGAR-the 5th minute APGAR

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • systolic blood pressure

    perioperative

  • diastolic blood pressure

    perioperative

  • pulse

    perioperative

Study Arms (2)

hypotension developing group

Pregnant women who underwent elective C/S under spinal anesthesia with systolic arterial pressure below 90 mmHg or with hypotension symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and vomiting during the procedure.

Device: perfusion index, pleth variable index

group without hypotension

Pregnant women who underwent elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia whose systolic arterial pressure did not fall below 90 mmHg or did not have any symptoms of hypotension during the procedure.

Device: perfusion index, pleth variable index

Interventions

a clip will be attached to the patient's finger and the perfusion index and pvi will be measured

Also known as: a latch will be attached to the patient's finger
group without hypotensionhypotension developing group
