Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
patients will allocate to two group

Group 1: Equal and over 39th gestational age
Group 2: Under 39th gestational age

All patients will be monitored and the basal vital functions (HR, SpO2, NIBP, ECG ) will be recorded with admission into the OR. ECG monitorization will perform and their control ECG records was take.

All patients will placed into a sitting position and spinal anesthesia will be performed with a median approach at a level of L3-L4, with a 25 G Quincke type spinal needle and % 0.5 2.0 ml bupivacaine by anaesthesiologist.

After succesful administration of anesthesia, all patients will be placed into supine position, monitored and administered oxygene via a venturi mask after administration of spinal anesthesia until the completion of surgery in %21 inspirated fraction.
ECG records will take 1 , 5 , and 10 minutes after the block. Bromage scale (BS) scores, heart rate, blood pressure, peripheral oxygen saturation, respiration rate values and sensory block levels with pinprick test will record at minutes 1, 5 and 10 of spinal anesthesia
and every 5 minutes thereafter after the end of surgery. end of surgery will record ECG.

Standard 12 derivation ECG recordings obtained with a paper speed of 25 mm.sec-1 and a defl ection of 10 mm.mV-1 of patients participating in the study will analyze (Nihon Kohden cardiofaxm ). We will calculate heart rate using mean RR time.

Spinal block levels, duration of surgery, APGAR scores, vasopressor consumption will be recorded.
