Brief Summary

Spinal anesthesia is widely accepted as the anesthetic method of choice for Cesarean section. However, the incidence of spinal hypotension is 50-70%, and the decrease in blood pressure is often rapid and severe. Heart rate variability is influenced by various factors such as the sympathetic nervous system, parasympathetic nervous system, temperature regulation, baroreflex, and endocrine regulation, but high frequency heart rate variability above 0.15 Hz very specifically reflects the parasympathetic nervous system. The ANI monitor calculates heart rate variability mediated by changes in the parasympathetic nervous system. This study aims to determine whether ANI monitor can predict hypotension in patients undergoing a caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia while applying the preemptive vasopressor phenylephrine infusion protocol.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • predictive value of ANI monitor for spinal hypotension during cesarean delivery

    Investigators will determine the predictive power of the ANI score change for the occurrence of hypotension after spinal anesthesia by drawing a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the change in ANI score (baseline value - minimum value) and calculating the area under the ROC curve.

    the occurence of hypotension at (within) 1 hour after spinal anesthesia

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Optimal cutoff value of ANI level for predicting occurrence of hypotension

    the occurence of hypotension at (within) 1 hour after spinal anesthesia

Study Arms (1)

Sexfemale(Gender-based eligibility)
Gender Eligibility Detailspregnant women
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

ANI monitor will be applied to all patients, but will be covered with black papar so that it could not be observed during anesthesia. ANI data recorded at 1 second intervals will be downloaded at the end of anesthesia.

You may qualify if:

  • full-term parturients undergoing cesarean delivery

You may not qualify if:

  • emergent surgery, placenta previa, Morbid obesity with a BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2, Gestational age \< 36 or ≥ 41 weeks, Contraindications to spinal anesthesia, cardiac arrhythmia, implantable pacemaker, diseases affecting the autoimmune system (such as immune disease or diabetic neuropathy), use of medications affecting ANI monitoring (antimuscarinics, alpha-agonists, beta blockers), illiteracy, or foreigners
