Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Elective infra umbilical surgery Age more than 65 years ASA 1 and 2 patients Planned for Spinal anesthesia

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients who do not consent to participate in the study Patients with contraindications for spinal anaesthesia Patients with severe uncontrolled comorbidities Patients with cardiac or peripheral vascular pathology interfering with doppler examination. Drugs which significantly affect vascular tone like beta blockers

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy (measured as AUC) of change in PI and RI at 5 minutes to predict hypotension within 20 minutes of spinal anaesthesia.Timepoint: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy (measured as AUC) of change in PI and RI at 5 minutes to predict hypotension within 20 minutes of spinal anaesthesia.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To Compare the baseline Doppler indices between groups with and without hypotensive response To calculate the cutoff value of these indices over which the risk is significant To identify and analyse the other factors that play role in Post spinal anaesthesia hypotension in elderly To establish the relationship between these indices and the need for vasopressor interventionTimepoint: Preoperative baseline and post spinal injection ultrasound followed by occurrence of hypotension at 20 mins
