Brief Summary
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the preoperative Diastolic Shock Index in predicting postspinal hypotension and to compare its performance with other shock indices, including the Shock Index, Modified Shock Index, and Age Shock Index. The study will include patients aged 50 years and older undergoing elective unilateral inguinal hernia surgery under spinal anesthesia. Hemodynamic parameters will be recorded before and after spinal anesthesia as part of routine clinical monitoring. The primary outcome is the development of postspinal hypotension. Secondary outcomes include vasopressor requirement, total ephedrine dose, lowest intraoperative mean arterial pressure, and the diagnostic performance of the evaluated shock indices using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. No additional intervention beyond routine anesthetic and perioperative care will be performed for study purposes.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Development of Postspinal Hypotension
Occurrence of postspinal hypotension, defined as a decrease in systolic arterial pressure of 25% or more from baseline and/or a systolic arterial pressure below 90 mmHg following spinal anesthesia.
Within the first 20 minutes after spinal anesthesia
Study Arms (2)
Patients Who Develop Postspinal Hypotension
Patients who develop postspinal hypotension, defined as a decrease in systolic arterial pressure of 25% or more from baseline and/or a systolic arterial pressure below 90 mmHg following spinal anesthesia.
Patients Who Do Not Develop Postspinal Hypotension
Patients who do not develop postspinal hypotension, defined as the absence of a decrease in systolic arterial pressure of 25% or more from baseline and a systolic arterial pressure remaining at or above 90 mmHg following spinal anesthesia.
Interventions
Spinal anesthesia will be administered as part of routine clinical care for elective unilateral inguinal hernia surgery. The study will not modify the anesthetic management or introduce any additional intervention for research purposes. Hemodynamic parameters obtained during routine perioperative monitoring will be recorded to evaluate the development of postspinal hypotension.
Eligibility Criteria
The study population will consist of patients aged 50 years and older who are scheduled to undergo elective unilateral inguinal hernia surgery under spinal anesthesia at the University of Health Sciences Haseki Training and Research Hospital. Eligible patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-III who provide written informed consent will be included. A minimum of 85 patients is planned for enrollment.
You may qualify if:
- Age 50 years or older
- Scheduled for elective unilateral inguinal hernia surgery
- Scheduled to undergo surgery under spinal anesthesia
- American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-III
- Provision of written informed consent
You may not qualify if:
- Refusal to participate in the study
- Emergency surgery
- Bilateral inguinal hernia surgery
- Contraindication to spinal anesthesia
- Failure of spinal anesthesia or conversion to general anesthesia due to failed spinal block
- Requirement for additional general anesthesia or deep sedation during surgery
- Operation duration exceeding 120 minutes
- Atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, frequent ventricular ectopy, or other arrhythmias preventing reliable heart rate assessment
- Presence of a permanent cardiac pacemaker
- Severe valvular heart disease
- New York Heart Association class III-IV heart failure
- Preoperative use of vasopressor or inotropic therapy
- Severe hepatic failure or end-stage renal disease
- Neurological disease that may significantly affect autonomic nervous system function
- Preoperative hemodynamic instability, defined as systolic arterial pressure \<90 mmHg or \>180 mmHg, or heart rate \<50 or \>120 beats/min
