Is body mass index a risk factor for low cerebral oxygenation during spinal anesthesia in women undergoing cesarean section? A preliminary study

Background/aim: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and cerebral oxygenationduring spinal anesthesia in women undergoing cesarean section. This study also aimed to demonstrate whether fetal cord bloodoxygenation was affected by maternal BMI and/or delivery time.Materials and methods: The study included parturients with ASA I score undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia in 2015and 2016. They were divided into two groups according to BMI: Group 1 comprised parturients with BMI of
