The Effect of Different Altitude Levels on Spinal Anesthesia in Cesarean Section Surgery

The same anesthesia protocol will be applied to the patient group at each altitude. In the sitting position, the spinal space was entered with a 25 gauge Quincke-tipped needle from the L4-5 space and a drop of CSF will be dripped onto the pH paper. Immediately afterwards, 12 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine will be given. The color formed on the pH paper will be noted. Sensory block level will be tested with pinprick test and motor block level will be evaluated with Modified Bromage scale. The number and duration of spinal anesthesia applications, the time of occurrence of sensory block in the T6 dermatome, the time to reach each score of the MB scale, the duration of the operation, the highest level of sensory block and anesthetic complications will be recorded. Sensory block time and motor block time of the patients followed in the service will be recorded.
