Is body mass index a risk factor for low cerebral oxygenation during spinal anesthesia in women undergoing cesarean section? A preliminary study
Gülçin AydinCemile Dayangan SayanPublished in: Turkish journal of medical sciences (2019)
The results of this study showed that parturients with BMI of <30 who are undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia might have an increased risk of complications due to decreased cerebral oxygenation related with hypotension. Therefore, it can be suggested that before and during cesarean section these patients should be closely monitored for cerebral oxygenation using NIRS.
