# Study to Detect Hypotensive Episodes During Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Section Using a Noninvasive Continuous Device

**Official Title:** Hypotensive Episodes During Cesarean Section Detected by a Continuous Non-invasive Arterial Pressure Measurement Device Are Missed by the Oscillometric Blood Pressure Measurement

**NCT ID:** [NCT01157520](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT01157520)

## Key Facts

- **Status:** COMPLETED
- **Study Type:** OBSERVATIONAL
- **Lead Sponsor:** University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein
- **Conditions:** Hypotension
- **Start Date:** 2009-06
- **Completion Date:** 2010-06
- **CT.gov Last Update:** 2010-07-09

## Brief Summary

Hypotension after spinal anesthesia for Cesarean section occurs in up to 90% usually under five minutes after local anesthetics administration. These changes are poorly depicted by oscillometric measurements. The investigators hypothesized, that a continuous noninvasive device detects more hypotensive periods with lower blood pressures.

## Eligibility
