Risk factors of hypotension during cesarean section with spinal anesthesia in parturients with COVID-19: a retrospective study in comparison with pregnant women without COVID-19

Parturients with COVID-19 do not appear to have a higher risk of hypotension during cesarean section under spinal anesthesia than those without COVID-19. Given the close association between preoperative heart rate and extent of hypotension in parturients with COVID-19 undergoing spinal anesthesia, vigilant monitoring of vital signs by anesthesiologists is crucial during the perioperative period.
