The Study of the Model to Predict Incidence of Epidural Anaesthesia Conversion to General Anaesthesia using Pulse Oximetry Technology during Lower Segment Caesarean Section Surgery
Abstract: Currently lumbar epidural is considered to be the gold standard in anaesthesia practice Elements involved in epidural anaesthesia procedure were generally individual to the patient's anatomy, epidural catheter location and response to the medications. . The total of 160 parturients undergoing epidural anaesthesia for lower segment caesarean section LSCS were enrolled in this mono centric study. Parturients were in the range of age 16 -45 years old with ASA 1, II and II involved in the study. Data categorized on phenomenological, physiological, and emotional experience were measured to determine the contributing factors for epidural failure. Visual analogue pain scores VAPS, Brommage scale and perfusion index PI were used as instrument to assess epidural block. Demographic characteristic did not influenced epidural failure, while physiological factors referring to duration of labour (P
