Response - NO
Brief Summary   Hypotension is a very common consequence of the sympathetic vasomotor block caused by spinal anaesthesia for cesarean section. Severe hypotension in obstetrics patient will lead to decreased oragn perfusion, dyspnoea, nausea, vomiting in the mother and depressed APGAR score and fetal acidosis in the fetus. The measures in the form of positioning to prevent aortocaval compression and pre or co loading of crystelloids have not been proven to completely prevent post spinal hypotension. Vasopressors like ephedrine and phenylephrine are being used routinely nowadays to prevent or treat post spinal hypotension in addition to above mentioned measures. Both vasopressors have their own pros and cons and various studies have been done to check their efficacy and safety profile. Phenylephrine is the preffered agent as per the literatures available. Norepinephrine has been found to have better profile as a vasopressor theoritically. There are on;y few studies to support this. So we planned to do comparative study of effects of npth drugs by intravenous infusion on feto-metarnal outcomes ny preventing and treating post spinal hypotension in cesarean sections.
