Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate predictive performance of right common femoral vein diameter to predict post spinal hypotension after administration of spinal anesthesia in elective Cesarean SectionTimepoint: Blood pressure measurements for two readings at one minute interval before spinal anesthesia and then at every three minutes interval after spinal anesthesia until delivery.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To evaluate peak velocity of right common femoral vein as predictor of post spinal hypotension. 2. To co-relate heart rate with transverse diameter of right common femoral vein.Timepoint: Blood pressure measurements for two readings at one minute interval before spinal anesthesia and then at every three minutes interval after spinal anesthesia until delivery.
