Evaluation of NEXFIN During Cesarean Delivery to Detect Hypotension

Evaluation of the System NEXFIN for Continuous and Non-invasive Measure of the Blood Pressure During Cesarean Delivery Practised Under Spinal Anesthesia

Hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery occurs frequently. Oscillometric measurement gives intermittent informations. Nexfin, a continuous noninvasive device, could help to detect hypotension.
