Overview of Intraoperative Hypotension Incidence in Sectio Caesarea Patients with Spinal Anesthesia in the Operating Room of RSI Purwokerto

Sectio Caesarea is an increasingly common method of delivery, though it carries inherent risks, particularly intraoperative hypotension due to spinal block anesthesia. This research aims to examine the incidence of intraoperative hypotension in cesarean section patients with spinal block anesthesia at RSI Purwokerto. A descriptive quantitative research design with univariate analysis was employed, utilizing data from hypotension observation sheets of 30 patients. The results revealed that hypotension was most prevalent among the Late Adolescent (17-25 years) and Early Adult (26-35 years) age groups. The incidence of hypotension was highest at the 10th minute after anesthesia administration, affecting 17 patients (56.7%), while incidences at the 5th and 15th minutes were 33.3% and 10%, respectively. These findings emphasize the need for careful blood pressure monitoring during the first 15 minutes post-anesthesia to mitigate risks that could impact both maternal and fetal health. This research offers valuable insights for healthcare providers to enhance care quality by preventing and managing hypotension during cesarean section procedures.
