The present study was conducted to determine spinal anesthesia induced hypotension in cesarean section in study group. <strong>Subjects and Methods: </strong>The present study was conducted in the department of Anesthesia. It comprised of 68 pregnant women in age range 18-30 years. In all patients, ASA grade, gravidity, history of previous cesarean section and hypotension was recorded. <strong>Results: </strong>Age group 18-22 years had 32 patients, 23-27 years had 22 and 27-30 years had 14 patients. The difference was significant (P&lt; 0.05). ASA grade I was seen in 48 patients and II in 20 patients. Gravidity 1 was seen in 24, 2 in 16, 3 in 15 and 4 in 13. 46 had 1 previous cesarean section and 22 had 2. The difference was significant (P&lt; 0.05). Mild hypotension was present in 2, moderate in 3 and severe in 6. The difference was significant (P&lt; 0.05).<strong>Conclusion: </strong>Authors found that hypotension is frequently seen in cesarean section.&nbsp; In this study, 11 patients exhibited spinal anesthesia induced hypotension.</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={Academia Anesthesiologica International}, author={Kumar Gupta, Sanjay and Singhal, Saurabh}, year={2019}, month={Jul.}, pages={71-73} }
