Summary

This study tested a device called the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) to see if it can reduce low blood pressure during planned C-sections. Low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia can harm both mother and baby. The device alerts doctors before blood pressure drops, so they can treat it early. The trial involved 100 women and measured how long and how severe low blood pressure was, along with side effects like nausea and hospital stay length.
