PROPHYLACTIC EPHEDRINE FOR PREVENTION OF HYPOTENSION DURING CESAREAN SECTION
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of prophylactic ephedrine administration as bolus and infusion with crystalloid administration for prevention of hypotension during spinal anaesthesia for elective caesarean section. Studies have shown that ephedrine prevents hypotension and associated complications like decrease in uterine blood flow and prevents foetal acidosis and hypoxia. Thus maternal and foetal outcome is better, compared to other agents. Even though ephedrine remains the drug of choice to treat hypotension intra-operatively in caesarean section, only few studies are there to show prophylactic efficacy of ephedrine in preventing hypotension. In this study role of prophylactic ephedrine infusion in preventing hypotension and its effects on maternal hemodynamics and neonatal outcome in caesarean sections have been evaluated.
