Could a tiny epinephrine shot prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure during C-Sections?
NCT ID NCT07480889
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving a small dose of epinephrine (adrenaline) right after spinal anesthesia, followed by a steady infusion, can prevent blood pressure drops during cesarean sections. Researchers will compare this approach to epinephrine infusion alone in 100 women aged 18-35. The goal is to see if the bolus provides better stability without increasing risks.
