Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery is Associated With Decreases in Regional Cerebral Oxygen Saturation as Assessed by Near- Infrared Spectroscopy

National and Kapodistrian University of Athens

Status: Completed

Conditions: Cerebral Oxygen Saturation During Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery

Treatments: Other: Spinal Anesthesia with cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT01669135

Details and patient eligibility

About

The cerebral oxygen saturation is assessed by means of near-infrared spectometry in parturients undergoing cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. The investigators hypothesis was that spinal anesthesia does not influence cerebral oxygen saturation.

Spinal Anesthesia with cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring

Other group

Description:

The cerebral oxygen saturation of the right and left frontal lobe as well as the thigh oxygen saturation are monitored during spinal anesthesia by means of the near-infrared spectroscopy. Hemodynamic variables were recorded at the same time points.

Treatment:

Other: Spinal Anesthesia with cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring
