Carotid Flow Measurements in Pregnant Women
Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Carotid Flow Measurements in Predicting Post-Spinal Hypotension in Pregnant Women
Haseki Training and Research Hospital
60 participants

OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to reveal the relation between carotid flow changes and post-spinal hypotension in pregnant women between the ages of 20-40. The main question it aims to answer is: Do the carotid flow blood flow measurements and corrected flow time change before and after spinal anaesthesia related to postspinal hypotension? Participants are already receiving spinal anaesthesia to receive a caesarean section. As part of their regular anaesthesia management protocol, they will answer questions about anaesthesia management. The participants will only examined by ultrasound twice.
