Brief Summary  
Spinal anaesthesia is nowadays preferred over General anaesthesia for caesarean sections as it not only overcomes the complications associated with general anaesthesia but also provides more effective pain control, early ambulation and better maternal and fetal outcomes.Intraoperative hypotension is defined as decrease in mean blood pressure less than 20% of patient’s baseline value. It can occur after spinal anaesthesia and may have deleterious effects on maternal and fetal outcomes.The effects of various vasopressors like ephedrine, nor-epinephrine, mephenteramine, phenylephrine, etc. have been studied in the prevention of spinal hypotension.Considering the influences on fetomaternal physiology like minimal placental passage, less incidence of fetoacidosis and maternal nausea, vomiting, etc. phenylephrine has been found to be the vasopressor of choice.Therefore we will be doing this random prospective study to compare two rates of infusion of phenylephrine (25 and 50 micrograms/minute) in preventing maternal hypotension caused by spinal anaesthesia and neonatal outcomes in patients undergoing caesarean section.
