Perfusion Index as a Predictor of Spinal Anesthesia–Induced Hypotension in Day-Case Knee Arthroscopy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective observational study will measure baseline perfusion index (PI) in ASA I–II adults scheduled for day-case knee arthroscopy under spinal anesthesia. The goal is to determine whether higher PI, reflecting vasodilation and sympathetic activity, is associated with an increased risk of spinal anesthesia–induced hypotension (SAIH). Data collection will capture PI values and intraoperative blood pressure to identify potential predictive relationships. The study does not assign interventions but aims to improve risk stratification and perioperative management for patients undergoing this procedure.
