Hypotension During Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Section

Abstract

Umbilical blood gas values were measured in 35 neonates delivered by cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Values were divided into three groups depending on maternal blood pressure. In one group (n = 9) there was no hypotension (minimum systolic blood pressure ≥100 mm Hg, or >70% of baseline), one group (n = 15) had mild hypotension, (90 mm Hg ≤minimum systolic blood pressure
