Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Perfusion index,Blood pressure and heart rate will be monitored.Hypotension: A fall in blood pressure of 20% or more from the baseline is defined as an episode of hypotension.Timepoint: the above will be monitored every minute following spinal anesthesia till the baby delivery. folllowing that vitals will be monitored every 3 minutes till the end of surgery.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
perfusion index,heart rate and blood pressure will be monitored.Hypotension is defined as fall in 20% of baseline blood pressure.Timepoint: Perfusion index,Blood pressure and heart rate wil be monitored every minute till delivery of baby,following thta every 3minutes till the end of surgery.
