C-Section blood pressure: which dose of phenylephrine works best?
NCT ID NCT07420127
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing two different doses of phenylephrine (75 vs 50 micrograms) given alongside oxytocin during C-sections to prevent low blood pressure. Oxytocin helps the uterus contract after delivery but can cause blood pressure to drop. The trial will enroll 112 women having planned C-sections under spinal anesthesia and compare how many have hypotensive episodes and how much extra phenylephrine is needed.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Phenylephrine
What this could lead to
If it works, this could identify the best dose of phenylephrine to prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure during C-sections.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial comparing two doses, so it may not find a clear winner. Results may not apply to all women having C-sections.
