Pre-anaesthetic heart rate may stratify hypotension risk; hypothesis-generating and should not yet alter practice.
Do pre-anaesthetic non-invasive haemodynamic parameters predict hypotension in parturients undergoing caesarean section with spinal anaesthesia?
Pre-anaesthetic heart rate is an independent predictor of hypotension during caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia, whereas pulse oximetry and heart rate variability parameters are not.
Yokose et al. (2015) studied this question.
