New study tests safer anesthesia dosing for C-Sections
NCT ID NCT07249814
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two methods of giving spinal anesthesia during C-sections: giving the drug all at once or in smaller doses over time. Researchers wanted to see which approach keeps the mother's blood pressure more stable and provides good pain relief. The trial involved 99 women having planned C-sections.
