This study was conducted in a group of full term pregnant patients with pre-eclampsia aged 18-40 years not documented to have peripheral vascular disease (DVT, limb ischemia). The comparison was done between prespinal perfusion index using a special pulse oximeter probe (masimo device, radical 7) and post spinal perfusion index (PI) to determine the relation between them.We found that Perfusion index was not able to predict which patients will develop hypotension following spinal anesthesia (AUC= 0.583, P value = 0.402). Baseline PI ranged from 0.65 to 2.10, with a mean value of 1.40 UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
