Prevention of Maternal Hypotension During Cesarean Section With

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This will be a randomized study aiming at investigating the combination of a norepinephrine infusion and colloid preloading versus the combination of a norepinephrine infusion and crystalloid co-loading for the prevention of maternal hypotension during elective cesarean section

Clinical Trial Description

Neuraxial techniques are the anesthetic techniques of choice in contemporary obstetric anesthesia practice, with a definitive superiority as compared to general anesthesia, since, by their use, serious complications involving the airway can be avoided.Spinal anesthesia has become the favorable technique for both elective and emergency cesarean section due to a quick and predictable onset of action, however, it can be frequently complicated by hypotension, with incidence exceeding 80% occasionally. Recently, noradrenaline has been shown to be effective in maintaining blood pressure in obstetric patients. Another technique widely used to prevent hypotension is fluid administration. Current evidence suggests that the combination of fluid administration and vasoconstrictive medications should be the main strategy for prevention and management of hypotension accompanying neuraxial anesthesia procedures during cesarean section. Research is still underway in relation to the most appropriate timing for fluid administration, the most appropriate fluid volume as well as the type of fluid that should be administered. However, preloading of crystalloids seems to be inefficient as a sole strategy, while co-loading of colloids is more effective than co-loading of crystalloids for prevention of hypotension in the parturient. On the other hand, preloading and co-loading of colloids seem to be of equal effectiveness. Literature is rather scarce regarding the comparison of colloid preloading and crystalloid co-loading. The aim of this randomized study will be to investigate the combination of a norepinephrine infusion and colloid preloading versus the combination of a norepinephrine infusion and crystalloid co-loading for the prevention of maternal hypotension during elective cesarean section. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
