Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Prediction of post spinal hypotension in pregnant women undergoing cesarean by measuring corrected flow time and pulsatility index of carotid arteryTimepoint: Carotid artery ultrasound measurements will be done preoperatively and maternal hemodynamic parameters will be measured from baseline to delivery of the baby in every 1 minute interval

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To identify the relationship between preoperative carotid corrected flow time (FTc) & pulsatility index(PI) with post spinal hypotension index among parturients undergoing elective lower segment caesarean section in tertiary care hospitalTimepoint: Carotid artery ultrasound measurements will be done preoperatively & maternal hemodynamic parameters will be measured from baseline to delivery of the baby in every 1 minute interval
