Hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section: identification of risk factors using an anesthesia information management system
Objective. To determine risk factors for developing hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section to prevent obstetric patients from hypotensive episodes potentially resulting in intrauterine malperfusion and endangering the child. Methods. The data from 503 women, having received spinal...

Summary: | Objective.
To determine risk factors for developing hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section to prevent obstetric patients from hypotensive episodes potentially resulting in intrauterine malperfusion and endangering the child.
Methods.
The data from 503 women, having received spinal anesthesia for cesarean sections were investigated using online gathered vital signs and specially checked manual entries employing an anesthesia information management system. Blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation were measured throughout and hypotension was defined as either a drop in mean arterial blood pressure of >20% from baseline value or readings of |
