Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Conventional fluid administration before spinal anesthesia   Before administration of spinal anaesthesia, intravenous fluid will be administered @12 ml/kg over 15 minutes. 
Intervention  Intravenous fluid administration before spinal anaesthesia , based on Internal jugular vein collapsibility index.  Before administration of spinal anaesthesia, Ultrasonographic assessment of internal jugular vein will be done to calculate collapsibility index and guide fluid administration accordingly based on index.If index comes out to be more than 39%, fluid will be given@5ml/kg bolus over 5 minutes, and then index will be reassesed . If index still more than 39%, second bolus of fluid will be given@3ml/kg over 5 minutes and subsequent boluses of 3ml/kg fluid will be given until index becomes less than 39%.

Brief Summary   Spinal anaesthesia is the anaesthetic techniqueof choice for caesarean section. The most common side effect of spinal anaesthesia is hypotension and has a very high incidence rate.It is caused by spinal block induced sympatholysis which leads to vasodilation and thereby hypotension. The administration of intravenous fluids to optimise the blood volume during sympathectomy has been widely used as first line therapy. Ultrasound has been used to estimate the pre-operative intravascular volume status. Internal jugular vein is an easily accessible vessel for assessment of intravascular fluid volume .Thus, we plan to undertake this study to evaluate and compare internal jugular vein collapsibility index guided versus conventional crystalloid administration on post spinal hypotension in pregnant patients undergoing caesarean section.



The study will be conducted in the Department of Anaesthesiology, Maulana Azad Medical College and associated Lok Nayak Hospital, New Delhi. In this study, pregnant patients aged between 18- 40 years scheduled for elective caesarean section will be recruited.

Primary objective of the study is to evaluate the incidence of post spinal hypotension whereas secondary objective is to evaluate the amount of crystalloid administered before spinal block, to evaluate the number of episodes of hypotension, vasopressor requirement, and total amount of fluid administered till cord clamping and to evaluate the APGAR score of the baby at 1 minute and 5 minutes.
