Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To assess if baseline perfusion index has the potential in detecting hypotension following spinal anesthesia 2. To evaluate the incidence of hypotension 3. To determine the cut off value for perfusion index in this present study Timepoint: 1. Maternal data such as age, BMI, gravidity, baseline SBP and HR 2. Perfusion index, Heart rate, Systolic and diastolic blood pressure every 5 minutes after induction of Subarachnoid block upto the extraction of the baby 3. Incidence of hemodynamic adverse effects.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Maternal data such as age, BMI, gravidity, baseline SBP and HR 2. Perfusion index, Heart rate, Systolic and diastolic blood pressure every 5 minutes after induction of Subarachnoid block upto the extraction of the baby 3. Incidence of hemodynamic adverse effects. Timepoint: 1. Maternal data such as age, BMI, gravidity, baseline SBP and HR 2. Perfusion index, Heart rate, Systolic and diastolic blood pressure every 5 minutes after induction of Subarachnoid block upto the extraction of the baby 3. Incidence of hemodynamic adverse effects.
