Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The correlation between Perfusion Index value and Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP)Timepoint: Perfusion index will noted every minute from the beginning of surgery till end of surgery. Blood pressure will be noted every minute for the first 20 minutes following administration of spinal anesthesia and every 2 mins after that till the end of surgery—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
oxytocics requirementTimepoint: End of surgery;Blood lossTimepoint: End of surgery;Investigate the correlation between baseline PI and presence of hypotensionTimepoint: End of surgery;Spinal Anesthesia-Level of sensory blockadeTimepoint: Before Incision, At 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 1 hour and end of surgery;The vasopressor requirementTimepoint: End of surgery—
