TRIAL DESCRIPTION |
Public title
|
Norepinephrine as an Alternative in Hypotension Prophylaxis During Cesarean Section under Spinal Anesthesia
|
Official scientific title |
Comparative study of Norepinephrine and Ephedrine for prophylaxis against Hypotension during Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Section
|
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Spinal anesthesia is the preferred method for elective cesarean sections (C.S.) due to considerable risks regarding airway management associated with physiological changes of pregnancy. Hypotension is reported to occur in up to 80% of spinal anesthesia cases. Many approaches have been investigated to prevent spinal hypotension, e.g., fluid loading, vasopressors, or both.
Thus we compare the administration of intermittent I.V. boluses of norepinephrine and ephedrine to guard against the hypotensive effect of spinal anesthesia during cesarean delivery.
