Read MoreAuthors: Du C-C et al. BMC Anesthesiology, published February 12, 2026 This randomized controlled trial examined whether an individualized, fluid responsiveness–guided strategy could better prevent spinal anesthesia–induced hypotension (SAIH) during cesarean delivery compared with standard prophylactic approaches. Hypotension after spinal anesthesia remains one of the most common complications in obstetric anesthesia, often managed with fluid […]
