The Risk of Neuraxial Anesthesia-Related Hypotension in COVID-19 Parturients Undergoing Cesarean Delivery: A Multicenter, Retrospective, Propensity Score Matched Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: SARS-CoV-2 infection was referred to sympathetic hyperactivity, which might increase the susceptibility of neuraxial anesthesia-related hypotension resulted from sympathetic inhibition. We conducted a multicenter, retrospective, propensity score matched (PSM) cohort study to determine whether COVID-19 parturients have an increased risk of hypotension after neuraxial anesthesia for cesarean delivery. Methods: Clinical data of COVID-19 parturients were collected from the electronic medical records from 1th January to 31th May, 2020 in three hospitals of Hubei Province, China. Information of Control parturients (without COVID-19) were obtained at the same institutions over a similar period in 2019. All American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status II f
