First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of spinal anesthesia (hyperbaric vs. isobaric bupivacaine) to see which one causes fewer dangerous drops in blood pressure during planned C-sections. Sixty healthy pregnant women will receive one of the two drugs, and researchers will monitor their blood pressure, heart rate, and need for extra medications. The goal is to find a safer option for mothers and their babies.
