Abstract
Objective: Hemodynamic changes occur in almost one-third of patients undergoing spinal anesthesia, which are likely to effect vital organ. The aim of this study is to determine the hemodynamic effect of spinal anesthesia during different phases of menstrual cycle. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study, two hundred and seventy-three patients who underwent spinal anesthesia for elective surgery were enrolled in this study. Of all the patients, 141 patients were in the luteal phase and 132 patients were in the follicular phase of their menstrual cycle. Analytical epidemiological study was conducted using questionnaires. Blood pressure and heart rate of patients before, immediately after, and 1 h after spinal anesthesia were recorded, and the data were analyzed using SPSS software. Results: In the follicular phase before anesthesia, systolic blood pressure (SBP) was 127.5 ± 3.9, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was 80.3 ± 6.2 mmHg and heart rate (HR) was 82.0 ± 8.5bpm, while, immediately after the induction of anesthesia following recordings were measured; 109.7 ± 9.13, 71.8 ± 2.8 mmHg and 70.0 ± 8.10bpm, respectively. In the luteal phase, it was 126.9 ± 3.12, 81.6 ± 9.3 mmHg and 80.2 ± 4.4bpm, and 122.0 ± 9.12, 78.6 ± 8.5 mmHg and 75.9 ± 6.5bpm respectively before and immediately after anesthesia, these changes in the menstrual phase was significant (P < 0.001). In the follicular phase an hour after spinal anesthesia, the mean SBP was 100.3 ± 3.9, DBP was 71.2 ± 7.5, MAP was 87.0 ± 4.7 mmHg and HR 67.5 ± 5.7bpm and following was seen in luteal phase; 115.4 ± 1.8, 75.9 ± 2.3, 97.3 ± 3.5 mm Hg and 74.0 ± 7.4bpm, respectively. These values were significantly lower in the follicular phase (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Spinal anesthesia in the luteal phase as compared to the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle shows less variation in hemodynamic parameters.
