Response - NO
Brief Summary   The primary objective of the study is to predict if the point of care ultrasound parameters like IVC CI and ECS are helpful to identify the severity of hypotension after spinal anaesthesia and also to predict the volume status in preeclampsia patients undergoing LSCS, as preeclampsia patients have very extreme volume status either hypo or hypervolemic and also blood pressure management is very crucial one in them. So an observational study is done to identify the predicting capacity of pocus parameters so that in future we can use these parameters to guide fluid management in pre eclamptic patients and also could predict the severity of hypotension prior to spinal anaesthesia.
