Response - NO
Brief Summary   Hypotension after spinal anaesthesia is more prominent in parturient than in general population due to many factors; for example - physiological changes in pregnancy, patient factors like nutritional status, Body Mass Index (BMI), drug factors like dose, lumber puncture space [i] [ii] etc. There are very few studies that looked into the relationship of BMI and spinal hypotension. The present study aims to evaluate the correlation of hypotension according to the BMI.

Patients will be divided into two groups- Eutropia group with BMI <25 and Overweight group with BMI ≥25.

After arrival to OT, patient would be prepared for standard monitoring- NIBP, ECG, Pulse oximetry and 18G IV cannula will be given. Three readings of blood pressure will be taken 3 minutes apart and average will be taken as baseline BP. With all aseptic precautions Lumber Puncture will be done in L4-L5 intervertebral space in left lateral position using 25G Quincke’s lumbar puncture spinal needle and free flow of CSF will be noted. Then injection hyperbaric Bupivacaine [Dose:12mg] and injection Buprenorphine(60mcg) will be given slowly. Spinal sensory block height will be assessed bilaterally in mid axillary line by cold sensation using alcohol swab and motor block height will be assessed by Modified Bromage Scale. A failure will be reported if T6 sensory block not achieved after 15 mins of intrathecal injection. Co-loading of lactated Ringer’s solution will be infused for a total of 10 ml/kg until delivery. In presence of hypotension a bolus of 6 mg of Ephedrine or 100 mcg of Phenylephrine will be used whichever considered appropriate. Oxygen at a rate of 5L/min will be administered via face mask.

Blood pressure monitoring will be done every 3 mins interval until the delivery of the shoulder of the baby and volume of crystalloids infused and total doses of vasopressors will be recorded.
