ED90 of Norepinephrine and Phenylephrine Infusions in Preeclamptic Patients

Overview

The objective of this study is to investigate the ED90 of norepinephrine and phenylephrine infusions for preventing postspinal anesthesia hypotension under intensive treatment in preeclamptic patients during cesarean section

Post-spinal anesthesia hypotension is a frequent complication during spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. The incidence of post-spinal anesthesia hypotension is as high as 62.1-89.7% if prophylactic measures are not taken. The 2016 ASA guidelines for obstetric anesthesia suggest avoiding hypotension following spinal anesthesia in women and emphasize the use of vasopressors, specifically alpha-receptor agonists, as the preferred strategy to prevent and manage post-spinal anesthesia hypotension. The 2018 International Consensus in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland recommends maintaining maternal systolic blood pressure above 90% of the baseline value following lumbar anesthesia, while avoiding dropping below 80% of the baseline value. Currently, the threshold for maintaining blood pressure above 80% of the baseline value is widely adopted as a standard; however, limited evidence supports the advantage of sustaining maternal blood pressure above 90% of the baseline value. The objective of this study is to investigate the ED90 of norepinephrine and phenylephrine infusions for preventing postspinal anesthesia hypotension under intensive treatment in preeclamptic patients during cesarean section
