Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Norepinephrine infusion for preventing hypotension in elective lower segment cesarean section   weight adjusted dose of norepinephrine infusion at concentration of 0.05mcg//kg/min . And infusion is started immediately after spinal anaesthesia through intravenous route at rate of 5ml/hr and hemodynamics are measured at 0 minute then every 1minute till the baby is delivered and access it’s efficacy in prevention of hypotension  
Comparator Agent  Weight adjusted separate concentration of norepinephrine in elective lower segment cesarean section   Weight adjusted dose of norepinephrine infusion at concentration of 0.075mcg/kg/min.And infusion is started immediately after spinal anaesthesia through intravenous route at rate of 5ml/hr and hemodynamics are measured at 0minute then every 1minute till the baby is delivered and access it’s efficacy in prevention of hypertension

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Hypotension is the most common complication seen in patients undergoing Caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia.Norepinephrine infusion has been suggested as an effective method for preventing hypotension during spinal anaesthesia for elective Caesarean section. Norepinephrine  associated with less propensity to reduce heart rate and cardiac output owing to its mild beta adrenergic agonist effects.our study compares norepinephrine infusion with two different combinations in elective Caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia
