Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1.Haemodynamic Changes:
Blood pressure & HR will be monitored every 2 mins till 10 min, & thereafter every 5 min till the end of surgery.
Incidence of hypotension, bradycardia, tachycardia, hypertension will be noted.
2.No. of boluses of vasopressor agents given intraoperatively will be noted.
 
From administration of sub arachnoid block to end of surgery. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1.Fetal Outcome:
A paediatrician who will not be aware of the vasopressor used will note:
a) APGAR SCORE:- at 1 min & 5 mins.
b) Fetal Acidosis:- Umbilical arterial sample will be collected at the time of birth to analyse pH. Fetal acidosis will be defined as pH less than 7.
2.Complications if any:
Incidence of dizziness, nausea, vomiting or shivering due to maternal hypotension will also be noted.
 
From administration of sub arachnoid block to end of surgery.

Brief Summary   This study will be conducted in a prospective, randomized, double blinded and comparative manner in the Department of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care, Maharaja Agarsen Medical college, Agroha.The primary objective of the study will be to determine whether nor epinephrine is more effective compared to phenylephrine for treatment of maternal hypotension undergoing emergency lower segment cesarean section under subarachnoid block.The secondary objectives will be   to determine effect of nor epinephrine and phenylephrine bolus on maternal heart rate and on fetal outcome by assessing APGAR score and investigating fetal acidosis.
