Abstract
Cesarean deliveries are often performed under spinal anesthesia because of the reduced risk of complications compared with that of general anesthesia. However, hypotension frequently occurs and adversely affects both the mother and fetus. Indices, such as the perfusion index (PI) and pleth variability index (PVI), which are derived from pulse oximetry have been used in numerous studies to predict hypotension after spinal anesthesia. However, their predictive abilities remain controversial. This study aimed to investigate the ability of PI and PVI, measured before the initiation of spinal anesthesia, to predict hypotension after spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing cesarean deliveries. To this end, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, ClinicalTrials.gov, European Union Clinical Trials Register, World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, and University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry databases from inception until June 15, 2023. We included retrospective and prospective observational studies and randomized controlled trials that assessed the ability of PI and PVI, measured before the initiation of spinal anesthesia, to predict hypotension after spinal anesthesia during cesarean delivery. We did not restrict our search to specific languages. Of the 19 studies, involving 1437 patients, 17 assessed the PI in 1,311 patients, and 5 assessed the PVI in 344 patients. The summary sensitivity and specificity of the PI were 0.75 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.69-0.80) and 0.64 (95%CI: 0.48-0.77), respectively, while those of the PVI were 0.63 (95%CI: 0.47-0.76) and 0.76 (95%CI: 0.64-0.84), respectively. The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve was approximately 0.75 for both indexes. Baseline PI and PVI have a moderate predictive ability for hypotension after spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing cesarean delivery.

Abstract
Perfusion index (PI), the ratio between variable pulsatile (AC) and non-pulsatile (DC) components in a photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal, is an indirect and non-invasive measure of peripheral perfusion. PI has been widely used in assessing sympathetic block success, and monitoring hemodynamics in anesthesia and intensive care. Based on the principle of dual-wavelength depolarization (DWD) of skin tissues, we propose to investigate its opportunity in quantifying the skin perfusion contactlessly. The proposed method exploits the characteristic changes in chromaticity caused by skin depolarization and chromophore absorption. The experimental results of DWD, obtained with the post occlusive reactive hyperemia test and the local cooling and heating test, were compared to the PI values obtained from the patient monitor and photoplethysmography imaging (PPGI). The comparison demonstrated the feasibility of using DWD for PI measurement. Clinical trials conducted in the anesthesia recovery room and operating theatre further showed that DWD is potentially a new metric for camera-based non-contact skin perfusion monitoring during clinical operations, such as the guidance in anesthetic surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory functions may be impaired in cesarean section (C/S) delivery performed under spinal anesthesia (SA) and oxygen supplementation may be required. Therefore, we conducted a randomized controlled study aimed to evaluate the effects of different oxygen administrations in pregnant women on the lungs during C/S under SA using ultrasound and oxygen reserve index (ORI). METHODS We conducted a randomized, controlled, single-center study from May 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022. A total of 90 patients scheduled for C/S under SA were randomly divided into 3 groups. Following the SA, patients in group 0 were treated with room air, in Group 3 were administered 3 L/min O₂ with a nasal cannula (NC), in Group 6 were administered 6 L/min O₂ with a simple face mask. In addition to routine monitoring, ORI values were measured. Lung aeration was evaluated through the modified lung ultrasound score (LUS) before the procedure (T0), at minute 0 (T1), 20 (T2), and hour 6 (T3) after the procedure, and ∆LUS values were recorded. RESULTS After SA, the ORI values of Group 3 were higher than Group 0 at all times (p < 0.05), while the intraoperative 1st minute and the 10th, 25th and 40th minutes after delivery (p = 0.001, p = 0.027, p = 0.001, p = 0.019) was higher than Group 6. When the LUS values of each group were compared with the T0 values a decrease was observed in Group 3 and Group 6 (p < 0.001, p = 0.016). While ∆LUS values were always higher in Group 3 than in Group 0, they were higher only in T1 and T2 in Group 6. CONCLUSION We determined that it would be appropriate to prefer 3 L/min supplemental oxygen therapy with NC in C/S to be performed under SA.

Changes in the corrected carotid flow time can predict spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in patients undergoing cesarean delivery: an observational study. J Anesth 2024; 38:105-113. [PMID: 38172292 DOI: 10.1007/s00540-023-03293-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Spinal anesthesia is a standard technique for cesarean delivery; however, it possesses a risk of hypotension. We hypothesised that the changes in the corrected flow time induced by the Trendelenburg position could predict the incidence of hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. METHODS Patients undergoing elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia were enrolled. Before anesthesia induction, corrected flow time was measured in the supine and Trendelenburg positions (FTc-1 and FTc-2, respectively). Additionally, a percent change in corrected flow time induced by the Trendelenburg position was defined as ΔFTc. The primary endpoint was to investigate the ability of ΔFTc to predict the incidence of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension until delivery. The receiver operating characteristics curves to assess the ability of FTc-1, FTc-2, and ΔFTc to predict the incidence of hypotension were generated. RESULTS Finally, 40 patients were included, and of those, 26 (65%) developed spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension. The areas under the curve for FTc-1, FTc-2, and ΔFTc were 0.591 (95% CI: 0.424 to 0.743) (P = 0.380), 0.742 (95% CI: 0.579 to 0.867) (P = 0.004), and 0.882 (95% CI: 0.740 to 0.962) (P < 0.001) respectively, indicating ΔFTc as the best predictor among these three parameters. The best threshold for ΔFTc was 6.4% (sensitivity: 80.8% (95% CI: 53.8 to 96.2), specificity: 85.7% (95% CI: 42.9 to 100.0)). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that changes in the corrected carotid flow time induced by the Trendelenburg position could serve as a good predictor of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension for cesarean delivery.

Abstract
Background and Aims It is important to predict and prevent post-spinal hypotension in lower segment cesarean section (LSCS). Peripheral vascular tone can be monitored as a perfusion index (PI) from a pulse oximeter. We aimed to study baseline PI as a predictor of post-spinal hypotension in LSCS. Material and Methods Prospective observational study conducted in a tertiary care teaching public hospital on patients posted for elective LSCS under spinal anesthesia. Baseline PI and hypotension were compared. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted and data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results Among 90 females, 43 (47.8%) had a PI ≤3.5 and 47 (52.2%) had a PI >3.5. In the PI >3.5 group, 46 (97.9%) females had hypotension and required a high volume of IV fluids, and 29 (61.7%) required vasopressors, and the association with PI was statistically significant with Pearson's Chi-square values of 32.26 and 32.36, respectively (P = 0.001). In the ROC, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.917, proving baseline PI >2.9 as an excellent classifier (P < 0.0001,95% confidence interval [CI] 0.840-0.965) and can predict hypotension with a sensitivity of 83.08% and specificity of 96.00%. Conclusion Baseline PI >3.5 was associated with significant post-spinal hypotension and vasopressor administration in LSCS. We established baseline PI >2.9 can predict post-spinal hypotension with high sensitivity and specificity. PI is simple, quick, and non-invasive and can be used as a predictor for post-spinal hypotension in parturients undergoing LSCS so that prophylactic measures can be considered in at-risk patients for better maternal and fetal outcomes.

Abstract
Early diagnosis and treatment of postspinal hypotension (PSH) in obstetric anaesthesia reduces the risk of maternofetal complications. In this study, the effect of EtCO2 and the integrated pulmonary index (IPI) in predicting PSH was investigated. Patients scheduled for cesarean section under spinal anaesthesia were included. The Capnostream 35 respiratory monitor (Medtronic, Inc., Dublin, Ireland) was used for EtCO2 and IPI. PSH developed in 52 (63.4%) of the 82 patients. EtCO2 and IPI values decreased significantly compared with baseline values in patients who developed PSH. There were statistically significant differences in EtCO2 (p = 0.001) and the IPI change (p = 0.045) in patients who developed PSH compared with those who did not. It was found that the EtCO2 difference had an independent effect on predicting PSH (p < 0.05), whereas the IPI difference did not (p > 0.05). One unit decrease in EtCO2 from the baseline increased the risk of PSH by 3.3 times. ROC curve analysis showed that the magnitude of change in EtCO2 was diagnostic for predicting PSH (AUC: 0.90 (0.83-0.97; p < 0.001)). IPI showed no predictive value for postspinal hypotension in cesarean section. However, EtCO2 monitoring, which is non-invasive and real-time monitoring, can be used to predict postspinal hypotension.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine whether changes in the pleth variability index (PVi) during preoxygenation with forced ventilation for 1 min could predict anesthesia-induced hypotension. DESIGN Prospective, observational study. SETTING A tertiary teaching hospital. PATIENTS Ninety-six patients who underwent general anesthesia using total intravenous anesthesia were enrolled. INTERVENTIONS Upon the patient's arrival at the preoperative waiting area, a PVi sensor was affixed to their fourth fingertip. For preoxygenation, forced ventilation of 8 breaths/min in a 1:2 inspiratory-expiratory ratio was conducted using the guidance of an audio file. One minute after preoxygenation, anesthetic administration was initiated. Blood pressure was measured for the next 15 min. MEASUREMENTS We calculated the difference (dPVi) and percentage of change (%PVi) between the PVi values immediately before and after forced ventilation. Anesthesia-induced hypotension was defined as a mean arterial pressure of <60 mmHg within 15 min after the infusion of anesthetics. MAIN RESULTS Overall, 87 patients were included in the final analysis. Anesthesia-induced hypotension occurred in 31 (35.6%) of the 87 patients. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses identified a cut-off value of -2 for dPVi, with an area under the curve of 0.691 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.564-0.818; P < 0.001) and a cut-off value of -7.6% for %PVi, with an area under the curve of 0.711 (95% CI, 0.589-0.832; P < 0.001). Further, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a low %PVi with an odds ratio of 9.856 (95% CI, 3.131-31.032; P < 0.001) was a significant determinant of anesthesia-induced hypotension. CONCLUSIONS Hypotension frequently occurs during general anesthesia induction and can impact outcomes. Additionally, the percentage change in the PVi before and after preoxygenation using deep breathing can be used to predict anesthesia-induced hypotension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prophylactic vasopressor infusion can effectively assist with fluid loading to prevent spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension. However, the ideal dose varies widely among individuals. We hypothesized that hypotension-susceptible patients requiring cesarean section (C-section) could be identified using combined ultrasound parameters to enable differentiated prophylactic medical interventions. METHODS This prospective observational trial was carried out within a regional center hospital for women and children in Sichuan Province, China. Singleton pregnant women undergoing combined spinal-epidural anesthesia for elective C-sections were eligible. Women with contraindications to spinal anesthesia or medical comorbidities were excluded. Velocity time integral (VTI) and left ventricular end-diastolic area (LVEDA) in the supine and left lateral positions were measured on ultrasound before anesthesia. Stroke volume, cardiac output, and the percentage change (%) in each parameter between two positions were calculated. Vital signs and demographic data were recorded. Spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension was defined as a mean arterial pressure decrease of > 20% from baseline. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was used to analyze the associations of ultrasound measurements, vital signs, and demographic characteristics with spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension. This exploratory study did not have a predefined outcome; however, various parameter combinations were compared using the AUROC to determine which combined parameters had better predictive values. RESULTS Patients were divided into the normotension (n = 31) and hypotension groups (n = 57). A combination of heart rate (HR), LVEDAs, and VTI% was significantly better at predicting hypotension than was HR (AUROC 0.827 vs. 0.707, P = 0.020) or LVEDAs (AUROC 0.827 vs. 0.711, P = 0.039) alone, but not significantly better than VTI% alone (AUROC 0.827 vs. 0.766, P = 0.098). CONCLUSION The combined parameters of HR and LVEDAs with VTI% may predict spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension more precisely than the single parameters. Future research is necessary to determine whether this knowledge improves maternal and neonatal outcomes. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR1900025191.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In general, caesarean sections are performed under spinal anaesthesia. Hypotension after spinal anaesthesia adversely affects both the mother and fetus. Although several studies have used pulse oximetry-derived indices, such as pulse perfusion index (PI) and Pleth variability index (PVI), to predict hypotension after spinal anaesthesia, the predictive ability of the PI and PVI remain controversial. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We prepared this protocol following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols guidelines. We will conduct searches of MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Clinicaltrial.gov, European Union Clinical Trials Register (EU-CTR), WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) and University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN) from inception until 8 October 2022. We will include retrospective and prospective observational studies and randomised controlled trials that evaluated the predictive ability of PI and PVI for hypotension after spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section, published in any language. We will exclude case reports, case series and animal studies. Two authors will independently scan and select eligible studies and perform data extraction and assessment of risk of bias. We will estimate predictive ability of PI and PVI as indices of hypotension after spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section using the Reitsma-type bivariate random-effects synthesis model and the hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic curve. We will assess the quality of evidence using the Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethics approval is not required as the systematic review will use existing published data. The results will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

Abstract
Background Hypotension is commonly encountered in patients undergoing lower-segment cesarean section (LSCS) under the subarachnoid block (SAB) owing to decreased vascular resistance caused by the sympathetic blockade and decreased cardiac output because of blood pooling in blocked areas of the body. Perfusion index (PI) is a good indicator of systemic vascular resistance and can foretell hypotension. This study aimed to associate baseline PI with intraoperative hypotension after SAB in LSCS. Methodology This was a prospective observational study with a sample size of 50. The baseline PI was recorded every 10 seconds for one minute in a supine position on the right index finger at room temperature of 26°C to 28°C. The blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded at an interval of one minute for three minutes. The mean of PI, BP, and HR were taken as the preoperative value. Spinal anesthesia was administered as per institutional protocol. Hypotension, defined as mean arterial pressure (MAP) <20% of baseline or MAP <60 mmHg was treated with vasopressors. Regression analysis with the Spearman correlation coefficient was done to correlate PI and hypotension. Results The incidence of hypotension in parturients with PI <2.85 was 28.6% (5/20) and in parturients with PI >2.85 was 82.8% (p < 0.001). The requirement of sympathomimetics was higher in parturients with PI >2.85.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.8883. A cut-off PI value of 2.85 can identify parturients at risk for central neuraxial block-induced hypotension with a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 75% (p < 0.001). Conclusions The PI is a useful tool for predicting hypotension in healthy parturients undergoing elective cesarean section under SAB.

Abstract
Background Early prediction of hypotension helps to decide appropriate prophylactic measures and, hence, safe anaesthesia for mothers and improved neonatal outcomes. Perfusion index (PI) measured from a standard pulse oximeter has shown positive results in the prediction of hypotension. This study aims to determine if PI can equally predict hypotension in parturients after administration of spinal anaesthesia at different time points. Methods Parturients posted for elective caesarean section belonging to the American Society of Anesthesiology II (ASA II) were divided into two groups based on baseline PI as group A <3.5 and group B ≥3.5. Fifty-six parturients were enrolled in the study. PI and blood pressure were monitored at baseline, every two minutes for 12 minutes and every five minutes until the end of the surgery, after administration of spinal anaesthesia with hyperbaric bupivacaine 10 mg. Incidence of hypotension was compared between groups at all time points of observation. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was determined to check the correlation between baseline PI and the number of episodes of hypotension. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to determine the ideal cut-off at different time points. Results Baseline PI significantly correlated with the number of episodes of hypotension (r-0.525). The overall incidence of hypotension was significantly higher in parturients with baseline PI ≥3.5 (79.16%) as compared to those with PI <3.5 (33.33%). The incidence of hypotension at sixth, 10th and 37th minutes post-spinal anaesthesia administration was significantly higher in the group with PI ≥3.5. The sensitivity and specificity for the 3.5 cut-off of PI were 85.7% and 60%, respectively, at the 6th and 10th minute after spinal administration. A higher cut-off of 3.9 increases the specificity to 69% without much change in the sensitivity. Conclusion Parturients with PI >3.9 at baseline have a higher risk of hypotension in the initial 10-12 minutes following spinal anaesthesia during caesarean delivery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arterial hypotension is common after spinal anesthesia (SA) for cesarean delivery (CD), and to date, there is no definitive method to predict it. The hypotension prediction index (HPI) is an algorithm that uses the arterial waveform to predict early phases of intraoperative hypotension. The aims of this study were to assess the diagnostic ability of HPI working with arterial waveforms detected by ClearSight system in predicting impending hypotension in awake patients, and the agreement of pressure values recorded by ClearSight with conventional noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitoring in patients undergoing CD under SA. METHODS In this retrospective analysis of pregnant patients scheduled for elective CD under SA, continuous hemodynamic data measured with the ClearSight monitor until delivery were downloaded from an Edwards Lifesciences HemoSphere platform and analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to evaluate the performance of HPI algorithm working on the ClearSight pressure waveform in predicting hypotensive events, defined as mean arterial pressure (MAP) <65 mm Hg for >1 minute. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were computed at the optimal cutpoint, selected as the value that minimizes the difference between sensitivity and specificity. ClearSight MAP values were compared to NIBP MAP values by linear regression and Bland-Altman analysis corrected for repeated measurements. RESULTS Fifty patients undergoing CD were included in the analysis. Hypotension occurred in 23 patients (48%). Among patients experiencing hypotension, the HPI disclosed 71 alerts. The HPI predicted hypotensive events with a sensitivity of 83% (95% confidence interval [CI], 69-97) and specificity of 83% (95% CI, 70-95) at 3 minutes before the event (area under the curve [AUC] 0.913 [95% CI, 0.837-0.99]); with a sensitivity of 97% (95% CI, 92-100) and specificity of 97% (95% CI, 92-100) at 2 minutes before the event (AUC 0.995 [95% CI, 0.979-1.0]); and with a sensitivity of 100% (95% CI, 100-100) and specificity 100% (95% CI, 100-100) 1 minute before the event (AUC 1.0 [95% CI, 1.0-1.0]). A total of 2280 paired NIBP MAP and ClearSight MAP values were assessed. The mean of the differences between the ClearSight and NIBP assessed using Bland-Altman analysis (±standard deviation [SD]; 95% limits of agreement with respective 95% CI) was -0.97 mm Hg (±4.8; -10.5 [-10.8 to -10.1] to 8.5 [8.1-8.8]). CONCLUSIONS HPI provides an accurate real time and continuous prediction of impending intraoperative hypotension before its occurrence in awake patients under SA. We found acceptable agreement between ClearSight MAP and NIBP MAP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spinal anesthesia is the standard for elective cesarean section but spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension remains an important problem. Accurate prediction of hypotension could enhance clinical decision-making, alter management, and facilitate early intervention. We performed a systematic review of predictors of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension and their predictive value during cesarean section. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar and Web of Science databases were searched for prospective observational studies assessing the diagnostic accuracy of predictors of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in elective cesarean section. The quality of studies was assessed and predictors were grouped in domains based on the type of predictor. RESULTS Thirty-eight studies (n=3086 patients) were included. In most studies, patients received 500-1000 mL crystalloid preload or 500-2000 mL crystalloid coload. Vasopressors for post-spinal hypotension were boluses of ephedrine 5-15 mg and/or phenylephrine 25-100 µg in most studies. The hypotension rate varied from 29% to 80% based on the definition. For analysis, >30 predictors were classified into seven domains: demographic characteristics, baseline hemodynamic variables, baseline sympathovagal balance, postural stress testing, peripheral perfusion indices, blood volume and fluid responsiveness indices, and genetic polymorphism. CONCLUSIONS Environmental and individual factors increased outcome variability, which restricted the value of the autonomic nervous system and peripheral perfusion indices for prediction of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension. Supine stress tests may reflect parturients' cardiovascular tolerance during hemodynamic fluctuations and may optimize the predictive value of static state predictors. Future research for predicting spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension should focus on composite and dynamic parameters during the supine stress tests.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous data show that lidocaine or magnesium has unique characteristics of stress inhibition and antiinflammation. OBJECTIVE We aimed to observe the effects of lidocaine or magnesium on the quality of recovery (QoR) after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. DESIGN Single-centre, prospective, randomised, double-blind study. SETTING The Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from March 2019 to October 2019. PATIENTS One hundred and fourteen patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. INTERVENTION The enrolled patients were randomly divided into three groups. Lidocaine (group L), magnesium sulphate (group M) or 0.9% saline (group C) was administered intravenously 10 min before induction. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The quality of recovery 15 (QoR-15) score, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score were selected. The usage of propofol and remifentanil, haemodynamic parameters, anaesthesia recovery parameters and adverse events were also evaluated. RESULTS The QoR-15 scores for group L (132.0) and group M (134.0) were 6 and 8 points higher than that of group C (126.0) on POD1 (postoperative day 1) (adjP < 0.05). However, the decrease of QoR-15 in Group L is less than the minimal clinically important difference (8).The NRS scores on POD1 in group C 3, were higher than other two groups (adjP < 0.05). The dosage of remifentanil in group L was lower than other two groups (adjP < 0.05).The physical independence of group L and group M and physical comfort of group M were improved compared with group C. CONCLUSION The results show that magnesium sulphate improved the QoR through improving physical comfort and physical independence in patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, lidocaine had limited effects on QoR under current conditions. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR1800019092 (www.chictr.org.cn).

Predictability of preoperative carotid artery-corrected flow time for hypotension after spinal anaesthesia in patients undergoing caesarean section: A prospective observational study. Eur J Anaesthesiol 2021; 38:394-401. [PMID: 33122575 DOI: 10.1097/eja.0000000000001376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Spinal anaesthesia-induced hypotension is frequently reported in patients undergoing caesarean section. Mechanistically, sympathetic blockade reduces the systemic vascular resistance and the left ventricular preload, causing hypotension, which is augmented by aortocaval compression. The corrected blood flow time (FTc) is affected by the preload and is inversely related to the afterload. OBJECTIVE We hypothesised that the preanaesthetic carotid artery FTc could predict hypotension after induction in patients undergoing a caesarean section with spinal anaesthesia. DESIGN A prospective observational study. SETTING A tertiary referral centre in South Korea from September 2018 to November 2019. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-eight parturients scheduled for elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia. INTERVENTIONS Using carotid ultrasonography, FTc was measured twice prior to inducing spinal anaesthesia. FTc was calculated using both Bazett's (B) and Wodey's (W) formulae. Hypotension was defined as an SBP decrease to less than 80 mmHg, or less than 75% of baseline, or if symptoms consistent with hypotension occurred from the time of injection of the spinal anaesthetic until delivery. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary endpoint was to determine the predictive value of preanaesthetic FTc for postspinal hypotension during caesarean delivery. RESULTS Among the 35 patients who completed this study, hypotension occurred in 21 (60%). The areas under the receiver-operating characteristic curves for FTc (B) and FTc (W) were 0.905 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.757 to 0.978, P < 0.001] and 0.922 (95% CI, 0.779 to 0.985, P < 0.001), respectively. The optimal cut-off values for predicting hypotension were 346.4 and 326.9 ms, respectively. The grey zone for FTc (B) and FTc (W) included 40 and 14% of the patients, respectively. CONCLUSION Preanaesthetic carotid artery FTc was a reliable indicator of postspinal hypotension in parturients. Considering the grey zone, Wodey's formula is better than Bazett's formula.

Abstract
Background/aim Anesthesia-induced hypotension may have negative consequences in geriatric patients. Therefore, predicting hypotension remains an important topic for anesthesiologists. Pleth Variability Index (PVI) measurement provides information about the fluid status and vascular tonus of patients. In this study, the ability of the Pleth Variability Index to predict hypotension after general anesthesia induction was evaluated. Materials and methods PVI values obtained from pulse oximetry were recorded, in addition to preoperative standard anesthesia monitoring. The correlation between the PVI value and mean arterial pressure (MAP), systolic arterial blood pressure (SAP) changes, and the power of PVI values to predict the incidence of hypotension after anesthesia induction (>20% MAP decrease) was tested. Results Eighty patients over 65 years of age who were operated under general anesthesia were included in the study. Hypotension was observed in 20 patients (25%). PVI values were mild and positively correlated with MAP changes (r = 0.195 and P = 0.041). According to receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the incidence of hypotension increased in patients with PVI values above 15.45%. We also found the following diagnostic results for PVI value for predicting hypotension: P = 0.044 and area under the ROC curve of 0.651 ± 0.073 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.507–0.794), 40% sensitivity, 80% specificity, a PPV of 40%, an NPV of 80%, a cut-off value of 15.45, a positive likelihood ratio of 2, a negative likelihood ratio of 0.75, and a Youden Index of 0.2. Conclusion Predicting hypotension in geriatric patients is an important issue for anesthesiologists. As an easily applicable test, the Pleth Variability Index is useful in predicting MAP reduction in patients. This practical technique can be used routinely in all geriatric patient groups.

Abstract
Background Post-spinal anesthesia hypotension during cesarean delivery is caused by decreased systemic vascular resistance due to the blockage of the autonomic nerves, which is further worsened by inferior vena cava (IVC) compression by the gravid uterus. This study aimed to assess whether peak velocity and diameter of the IVC below the xiphoid or right common femoral vein (RCFV) in the inguinal region, as measured on ultrasound, could reflect the degree of IVC compression and further identify parturients at risk of post-spinal hypotension. Methods Fifty-six parturients who underwent elective cesarean section with spinal anesthesia were included in this study; peak velocities and anteroposterior diameters of the IVC and peak velocities and transverse diameters of the RCFV were measured using ultrasound before anesthesia. The primary outcome was the ultrasound measurements of IVC and RCFV acquired before spinal anesthesia and their association with post-spinal hypotension. Hypotension was defined as a drop in systolic arterial pressure by > 20% from the baseline. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to identify the association between the measurements of IVC, RCFV, and post-spinal hypotension during cesarean delivery. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to test the abilities of the identified parameters to predict post-spinal hypotension; the areas under the curve and optimum cut-off values for the predictive parameters were calculated. Results A longer transverse diameter of the RCFV was associated with the occurrence of post-spinal hypotension (odds ratio = 2.022, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.261–3.243). The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve for the prediction of post-spinal hypotension was 0.759 (95% CI 0.628–0.890, P = 0.001). A transverse diameter of > 12.2 mm of the RCFV could predict post-spinal hypotension during cesarean delivery. Conclusions A longer transverse diameter of RCFV was associated with hypotension and could predict parturients at a major risk of hypotension before anesthesia.

Abstract
The administration of high-level spinal anesthesia for cesarean section may lead to significant hemodynamic changes. Bioreactance-based non-invasive cardiac output monitoring (NICOM™) provides an accurate monitoring system for parturients under spinal anesthesia. The present study hypothesized that baseline hemodynamic parameters obtained via the NICOM™ system could serve as predictive indicators for post-spinal anesthesia hypotension. Therefore, 80 full-term parturients with singleton pregnancies who underwent scheduled cesarean section were enrolled and allocated to either a supine position group or a 15˚ left tilt group. All parturients received standard pre-hydration with 750 ml of 0.9% saline. Baseline cardiac output index (CI), total peripheral resistance index (TPRI) and stroke volume (SV) were recorded using the NICOM™ system. Subsequently, spinal anesthesia with 2.4 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine, 10 µg of fentanyl and 0.2 mg of morphine was administered. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the data. A total of 40 parturients (51.9%) developed hypotension. The areas under the ROC curves were 0.666, 0.594 and 0.622 for the CI, TPRI and SV, respectively. The optimal cut-off value of the CI in predicting hypotension was 3.68 l/min/m2 (ROC, sensitivity=85.0%, specificity=48.6%). Furthermore, CI was considered as an independent factor for post-spinal anesthesia hypotension. In conclusion, the baseline CI obtained via the bioreactance-based NICOM™ system may serve as a predictor of post-spinal anesthesia hypotension in parturients regardless of patient position.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to test the efficacy of the pre-operative Pleth variability index (PVI) in evaluating hypotension that developed after spinal anaesthesia in patients who were spontaneously breathing, pre-operatively hypovolemic, and were at an advanced age. METHODS This observational study included 94 patients aged >65 years with hip fracture. Demographic data, pre-operative heart rate, non-invasive arterial pressures, PVI values, and haemogram values were continuously measured following spinal anaesthesia. The measurements with and without hypotension were distinguished and their data were compared. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 77.4±8.2 years. In total, 56.4% of the patients developed hypotension after spinal anaesthesia, and hypotension was higher in women (p=0.037). Low pre-operative diastolic arterial pressures values were associated with the development of hypotension (p=0.037). The relationship between PVI and post-spinal hypotension was negative but significant (r=-0.239; p<0.05). Depending on the volume loss, an increase in the PVI (p<0.001) and its subsequent significant decrease after treatment in patients with hypotension (p<0.001) was observed. The correlation between noninvasively measured haemoglobin values and the values obtained from arterial blood gas samples was significant (p<0.001). CONCLUSION This study showed that post-spinal hypotension may be associated with increased as well as decreased PVI values. However, these values cannot be clinically used for predicting pre-operative hypotension in hypovolemic patients.

Gratz I, Baruch M, Takla M, Seaman J, Allen I, McEniry B, Deal E. The application of a neural network to predict hypotension and vasopressor requirements non-invasively in obstetric patients having spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean section (C/S). BMC Anesthesiol 2020; 20:98. [PMID: 32357833 PMCID: PMC7195764 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-020-01015-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2019] [Accepted: 04/16/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Neural networks are increasingly used to assess physiological processes or pathologies, as well as to predict the increased likelihood of an impending medical crisis, such as hypotension. Method We compared the capabilities of a single hidden layer neural network of 12 nodes to those of a discrete-feature discrimination approach with the goal being to predict the likelihood of a given patient developing significant hypotension under spinal anesthesia when undergoing a Cesarean section (C/S). Physiological input information was derived from a non-invasive blood pressure device (Caretaker [CT]) that utilizes a finger cuff to measure blood pressure and other hemodynamic parameters via pulse contour analysis. Receiver-operator-curve/area-under-curve analyses were used to compare performance. Results The results presented here suggest that a neural network approach (Area Under Curve [AUC] = 0.89 [p < 0.001]), at least at the implementation level of a clinically relevant prediction algorithm, may be superior to a discrete feature quantification approach (AUC = 0.87 [p < 0.001]), providing implicit access to a plurality of features and combinations thereof. In addition, the expansion of the approach to include the submission of other physiological data signals, such as heart rate variability, to the network can be readily envisioned. Conclusion This pilot study has demonstrated that increased coherence in Arterial Stiffness (AS) variability obtained from the pulse wave analysis of a continuous non-invasive blood pressure device appears to be an effective predictor of hypotension after spinal anesthesia in the obstetrics population undergoing C/S. This allowed us to predict specific dosing thresholds of phenylephrine required to maintain systolic blood pressure above 90 mmHg.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative hypotension is associated with worse perioperative outcomes for patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery. The Hypotension Prediction Index is a unitless number that is derived from an arterial pressure waveform trace, and as the number increases, the risk of hypotension occurring in the near future increases. We investigated the diagnostic ability of the Hypotension Prediction Index in predicting impending intraoperative hypotension in comparison to other commonly collected perioperative hemodynamic variables. METHODS This is a 2-center retrospective analysis of patients undergoing major surgery. Data were downloaded and analyzed from the Edwards Lifesciences EV1000 platform. Receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed for the Hypotension Prediction Index and other hemodynamic variables as well as event rates and time to event. RESULTS Two hundred fifty-five patients undergoing major surgery were included in the analysis yielding 292,025 data points. The Hypotension Prediction Index predicted hypotension with a sensitivity and specificity of 85.8% (95% CI, 85.8%-85.9%) and 85.8% (95% CI, 85.8%-85.9%) 5 minutes before a hypotensive event (area under the curve, 0.926 [95% CI, 0.925-0.926]); 81.7% (95% CI, 81.6%-81.8%) and 81.7% (95% CI, 81.6%-81.8%) 10 minutes before a hypotensive event (area under the curve, 0.895 [95% CI, 0.894-0.895]); and 80.6% (95% CI, 80.5%-80.7%) and 80.6% (95% CI, 80.5%-80.7%) 15 minutes before a hypotensive event (area under the curve, 0.879 [95% CI, 0.879-0.880]). The Hypotension Prediction Index performed superior to all other measured hemodynamic variables including mean arterial pressure and change in mean arterial pressure over a 3-minute window. CONCLUSIONS The Hypotension Prediction Index provides an accurate real time and continuous prediction of impending intraoperative hypotension before its occurrence and has superior predictive ability than the commonly measured perioperative hemodynamic variables.
