In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Spinal anesthesia is widely preferred for elective cesarean delivery due to its favorable safety profile and superior postoperative analgesia. However, post-spinal hypotension (PSH) remains a common complication, with reported incidence rates ranging from 40% to 70%, potentially compromising maternal hemodynamic stability and uteroplacental perfusion. Early identification of patients at high risk for PSH is therefore of critical clinical importance. This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the predictive performance of preoperative internal jugular vein collapsibility index (IJV-CI), assessed by ultrasonography, and baseline perfusion index (PI), obtained via pulse oximetry, for the development of PSH in patients undergoing elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. While IJV-CI reflects intravascular volume status and preload, PI represents peripheral vascular tone
