Effect of Vitamin D Deficiency on the Frequency and Severity of Spinal Anesthesia-Induced Hypotension in Pregnant Women Undergoing Cesarean Section

Sponsor: Duzce University

Summary

Spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension remains a common and significant complication during cesarean sections, posing risks for both mother and fetus. Vitamin D deficiency, frequently observed in pregnant women, is associated with altered vascular function and potential hemodynamic instability. This prospective observational study aims to investigate whether vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased incidence and severity of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in pregnant women undergoing elective cesarean delivery. Vitamin D levels will be measured preoperatively, and intraoperative hemodynamic parameters will be closely monitored. The findings could contribute to improved management strategies for pregnant patients at risk of severe hypotension.
