Detailed Description

Patients with cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were included in the study. Before the study, patients were moniterized with NIRS device in the preoperative waiting room.NIRS moniterization was continued intraoperatively at 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th, 15th, 30th minutes and 24th postoperative period. Patients were divided into two groups as those with postspinal headache (Group A) and those with postspinal headache (Group B). In this study, NIRS values between two groups were compared.
