Using preoperative shock indexes to predict low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery

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 is a prospective observational study enrolling pregnant people scheduled for elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. Preoperative Shock Index (SI) and Modified Shock Index (MSI) will be measured, and blood pressure and hemodynamic variables will be monitored throughout the perioperative period. Researchers will record occurrences and severity of post-spinal hypotension and analyze how well SI and MSI predict those events. The study aims to identify optimal cutoff values that could be used in clinical practice for risk stratification.
