Abstract:Background: 90% of C-sections are supported by spinal anesthesia, which is complicated by arterial hypotension in 60%-80% of cases. The perfusion index seems to be a significant prognostic tool for arterial hypotension.Objective: Тo confirm the value of perfusion index in predicting arterial hypotension associated with the spinal anesthesia.Materials and methods: The study included 105 female patients who underwent С-section under spinal anesthesia. A decrease in mean arterial pressure by ≤ 20% was considered … Show more
