Summary

Spinal anesthesia induces bradycardia and hypotnesion, because itself decreases parasympathetic activity and increases sympathetic activity. These imbalance of autonomic nervous system can be measured by heart rate variability. Propofol and dexmedetomidine, which are used for sedation during spinal anesthesia, also affect autonomic nervous system, but the exact effects are not well known. The purpose of this study is measuring the effects of propofol or dexmedetomidine on autonomic nervous system in spinal anesthesia.
