No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to reveal the relation between carotid flow changes and post-spinal hypotension in pregnant women between the ages of 20-40. The main question it aims to answer is:

Do the carotid flow blood flow measurements and corrected flow time change before and after spinal anaesthesia related to postspinal hypotension? Participants are already receiving spinal anaesthesia to receive a caesarean section. As part of their regular anaesthesia management protocol, they will answer questions about anaesthesia management. The participants will only examined by ultrasound twice.

Conditions

  • Postspinal Hypotension
  • Pregnant Women Undergoing Cesarean Delivery

Interventions

OTHER

carotid ultrasound

The investigator will perform a carotid ultrasound just 2 cm before the carotid bulb and measure the corrected flow time and flow using Doppler and pulse wave analysis. The corrected carotid flow time will be calculated according to Bazett's equation.
