ClinConnect Summary

The determination of arterial blood pressure is a basic monitoring measure during spinal anaesthesia in obstetrics for the operative delivery of the child via the caesarean section. Adequate arterial blood pressure is essential to ensure adequate placental perfusion, sufficient cerebral perfusion pressure of the mother and is the basis for any hemodynamic optimization to significantly improve patient outcome.

Up to now, two standard methods for determining blood pressure have always been the oscillating non-invasive, intermittent blood pressure measurement (NIBP) and the invasive continuou...
