Brief Summary  

The study "A study to compare the vasopressor effects of Mephentermine vs Phenylephrine in patients undergoing LSCS under Spinal Anesthesia" will be conducted in the Department of Anesthesia at Varun Arjun Medical College and Rohilkhand Hospital, Banthra, Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh 242307.

A. The study will be conducted on consenting patients scheduled for elective Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS) under spinal anesthesia, presenting to the Anesthesia department at Varun Arjun Medical College and Rohilkhand Hospital from April 2024 to April 2025 based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.

B. All patients selected for the study will undergo detailed history taking and provide written informed consent.

C. Pre-Anesthetic assessment.

D. Laboratory assessment.

E.  Patients will be randomly allocated into two groups:

  • Group A: Patients receiving Mephentermine (bolus dose 6 mg) as the primary vasopressor during spinal anesthesia.
  • Group B: Patients receiving Phenylephrine (bolus dose 100 mcg) as the primary vasopressor during spinal anesthesia.

F. Maternal Monitoring: SBP, DBP, MAP, and HR recorded at specified intervals after subarachnoid block until delivery of the baby.

G. Adverse Events: Any adverse events, such as nausea, vomiting, or other side effects, will be recorded.
