During general anesthesia, hypotension might occur during positional change. It is reported that hypotension after positional change from supine to prone is mainly caused by the decrease in preload. The investigators aimed to investigate whether dynamic arterial elastance might predict hypotension associated with positional change from supine to prone.

Dynamic arterial elastance before positional change
Dynamic arterial elastance, defined as the ratio of pulse pressure variance/stroke volume variance will be recorded 1 minute before positional change
Time frame: 1 minute before positional change
