Cardiovascular adaptation to spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension during scheduled cesarean section: the paradigm of ionized calcium and nitric oxide in a prospective cohort study

Maternal arterial hypotension occurs in 55–90% of cesarean sections performed under spinal anesthesia. While sympatholysis and aortocaval compression are conventional explanations, refractory cases suggest possible biochemical contributors beyond sympatholysis. We hypothesized th...
