First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two drugs, norepinephrine and phenylephrine, given as continuous infusions to maintain blood pressure during planned C-sections under spinal anesthesia. 140 healthy pregnant women will receive one of the two drugs, and researchers will measure effects on the baby's umbilical cord blood and the mother's vital signs. The goal is to find which drug offers better safety and stability for both mother and child.

What this could lead to

If one drug proves safer or more effective, it could become the preferred choice for managing blood pressure during C-sections, improving outcomes for mothers and newborns.

What could go wrong
