To study the occurance of low blood pressure (hypotension) after giving spinal anaesthesia in pregnant patients and its relation with values of perfusion index (which is measured by an instrument based on the blood flow in the finger)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Perfusion index is a non invasive and reliable indicator to predict incidence of hypotension following spinal anaesthesia in caesarean section.Timepoint: Following spinal anaesthesia, the value of PI will be noted at regular intervals ( initially at 2 mints interval and then at 5 mints interval )—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Changes in perfusion index reflects changes in blood pressure in pregnant patients following spinal anaesthesiaTimepoint: Based on the baseline value and changes in PI after spinal anaesthesia, the incidence of hypotension post spinal anaesthesia will be noted and corelated with PI.—
