Many agents are used for treating hypotension. This study compares the effect of ephedrine and phenylephrine on maternal hypotension in spinal anesthesia for cesarean section and their effect on fetal outcome. Results: Both drugs contolled the blood pressure effectively. Group P required less number of boluses than Group E for blood pressure control. Maternal Bradycardia was more noticed in group P. All neonatal Apgar scores at 5 minutes were {u2265} 9. There was no difference in the incidence of nausea and vomiting in both groups. Conclusion:In combination with rapid co-loading, Phenylephrine is as effective as Ephedrine, when given in intravenous boluses, in controlling spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in elective cesarean section, with similar neonatal outcome UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
