This study looks at whether using a leg compression machine can help prevent a drop in blood pressure after giving genaral anaesthesia in women undergoing major gynaecological surgerery.

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1)Scheduled for major gynaecological surgery (Required surgical duration at least two hours or more) 2)ASA I to III physiological status 3)Patient with no contraindication to leg compression

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1)Patient refusal, 2)Inability to give informed consent 3)Hemodynamically unstable (requiring vasopressor in preoperative phase) 4)Unstable angina, poor LV function (less then 0.40) 5)H/o arrhythmia requiring treatment 6)Uncontrolled HTN, DM, Coronary artery disease etc. 7)Patients with contraindication to leg compression such as history of DVT or peripheral arterial disease

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the number of hypotensive episodes during surgery in between pneumatic and control groups. Timepoint: In the first 20 minutes after induction.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the following parameters among the group. 1)Arterial blood gas changes between the baseline, 20 minutes postinduction & at the end of the surgery in terms of base deficit, lactate & p/f ratio. 2)To observe the incidence of complications/side effects of the use of pneumatic compression device.Timepoint: before surgery, after 20 minutes of induction, & at the end of surgery
