Summary

The present study aimed to determine the effects of compression stockings used during cesarean section on intraoperative hypotension.

Detailed description

Cesarean section is among the most common surgeries in young and healthy individuals. Its frequency is increasing in our country and on a global scale. A total of 57% of all births in our country were performed by cesarean section between 2018 and 2023. Spinal anesthesia is frequently used during cesarean sections with its advantages such as the patient being conscious, not having a risk of aspiration, not causing respiratory depression in the newborn, and the mother being able to breastfeed early. However, Spinal Anesthesia has complications such as hypotension and post-spinal headache, bradycardia and asystole, nausea, hypoventilation, total spinal block, urinary retention, spinal hematoma, back pain, infection, transient neurological symptoms, or cranial nerve paralysis. The present study aimed to determine the effects of compression stockings used during cesarean section on intraoperative hypotension.
