The present study was conducted to assess anaesthesia-related risk factors in elective caesarean section. Materials & Methods: 76 full-term pregnant females were selected, Height, weight, BMI, gravidity, previous abortions, previous abortions etc. was recorded. Results: Hypotension was absent in 46, mild in 15, moderate in 10 and severe in 5. The mean weight was 75.4 Kgs, 73.6 Kgs, 74.8 kgs and 72.4 Kgs respectively. The mean height was 156.4 cms, 157.2 cms, 158.3 cms and 158.1 cms in patients with no, mild, moderate and severe hypotension respectively. BMI was 18.5- 20 Kgs/m2 seen in 26, 8, 6 and 2, 25-30 Kgs/m2 in 12, 5 and 3 and 2 and >30 Kgs/m2 in 8, 2, 1 and 1 patient respectively. Gravidity was 1 seen in 23, 4 and 3, gravidity 2 seen in 17, 6, 5 and 2 and gravidity >2 was seen in 6, 5, 2 and 1 in patient respectively. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). History of previous abortion was seen in 15, 6, 3 and 2, previous CS was seen in 11, 7, 4 and 3, history of stillbirth was seen in 7, 3, 2 and 1 in mild, moderate and severe hypotension patients respectively.
