First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding ephedrine to a standard norepinephrine drip can better prevent low blood pressure during C-sections done under spinal anesthesia. 260 women having planned C-sections will be randomly assigned to receive either the combo or norepinephrine alone. The goal is to see if the combo reduces blood pressure drops and keeps heart rate stable.
