Carotid Flow Measurements in Pregnant Women

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Carotid Flow Measurements in Predicting Post-Spinal Hypotension in Pregnant Women


Sponsor

Haseki Training and Research Hospital

Enrollment

60 participants

Start Date

Feb 15, 2025

Study Type

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.

Interventions

OTHERcarotid ultrasound

The investigator will perform a carotid ultrasound just 2 cm before the carotid bulb and measure the corrected flow time and flow using Doppler and pulse wave analysis. The corrected carotid flow time will be calculated according to Bazett's equation.
