BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) has a role in the regulation of body fluid volume and blood pressure (BP). BNP remains within a normal range during spinal anaesthesia (SA) in patients undergoing cesarean delivery. However, the effect of BNP on changes in BP during the perioperative period has not been evaluated. We aimed to investigate the effect of preoperative serum BNP on the risk of hypotension during cesarean delivery with SA.
