Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
correlation between baseline PI and post-spinal hypotension predictive values of the baseline perfusion index for detecting Post spinal anaesthesia hypotension Timepoint: baseline (after a 5-minute stabilization period following monitor attachment), just after administration of spinal anaesthesia, then 2.5-minute intervals for the first 30 minutes and every 5-minute intervals for a further 60 minutes and then at 15 minutes interval till the end of surgery.
