To study the effect of anaesthesia whch is given in vertebral coulumn, on blood flow of an artery of eye using ultrasound of eye, in pregnant women with increased blood pressure and in pregnant women with normal blood pressures undergoing caesarean section delivery.

The effect of spinal anaesthesia on ophthalmic artery doppler indices in severely pre eclamptic vs normotensive pregnant females undergoing caesarean section: A prospective observational case controlled study.

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Control group: 30 Normotensive (age and gestational age matched to cases) pregnant female planned for caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia 2. Study group 2: Severely preeclamptic pregnant females who have received magnesium sulphate planned for caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia Criteria for severe pre-eclampsia 18 Increased bloodpressure (BP; systolic BP is 140 mmHg or a diastolicBP is 90 mmHginawoman who was normotensiveprior to 20 weeks of gestation) accompanied byproteinuria(0.3 g protein in a 24-hour specimen) or increased BPaccompanied by one ormore severe complications of maternal end organ damage evenin the absence of proteinuria like 1.
