Key result
Pleth variability index after spinal anaesthesia was an independent predictor of spinal anaesthesia-induced hypotension during caesarean delivery (OR 1.21; P=0.041).

Does pleth variability index predict spinal anaesthesia-induced hypotension in patients undergoing caesarean delivery?
Odds Ratio: 1.21
p-value: p=0.041
Pleth variability index measured after spinal anaesthesia is a useful non-invasive predictor of subsequent hypotension in patients undergoing elective caesarean delivery.
Kuwata et al. (2017) conducted an observational in elective caesarean delivery (n=50). Pleth variability index was evaluated on spinal anaesthesia-induced hypotension (OR 1.21, p=0.041). Pleth variability index after spinal anaesthesia was an independent predictor of spinal anaesthesia-induced hypotension during caesarean delivery (OR 1.21; P=0.041).
