TO COMPARE THE HEMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS SUCH AS BLOOD PRESSURE, HEART RATE AND SPO2 DURING SPINAL ANAESTHESIA.

Abstract

The study was undertaken in the department of Anaesthesiology, Index Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre, Indore. The study included 90 patients (age 20-35 years) undergoing elective caesarean section under spinal Anaesthesia.

Vital parameters were monitored and blood pressure & heart rate reading were taken 3 times at 2 minutes interval and lowest MAP and heart rate were taken as baseline for each group respectively. All the patients were preloaded with 500 ml of ringer lactate solution. Test drug was injected IM just after the induction of spinal anaesthesia. All the patients were observed and hemodynamic data recorded for 60 minutes after spinal anaesthesia.

The patients were monitored for hypotension (decrease in MAP>25% of baseline MAP), bradycardia (heart rate<50 beats/minute), nausea, vomiting.
