• Study Type: observational
• Target: 40

Brief Summary

This prospective observational study was carried out on a sample of 40 patients over a period of 6 months to asses the peripheral perfusion index as a Predictor for post spinal hypotension in patient undergoing lower limp surgeries.

Conditions

Post Spinal Anaesthesia Hypotension

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Assess the ability of baseline peripheral perfusion index to predict post spinal hypotension spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in patients undergoing lower limb surgeries

  Assess the ability of baseline peripheral perfusion index to predict post spinal hypotension

  during the operation time.
