Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the preventive effect of norepinephrine on post-spinal hypotension and the effect of norepinephrine on inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVC-CI).

Detailed Description

Post-spinal hypotension is a frequent complication during spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. It affects nearly 50-60% of patients without appropriately treat. Vasopressors has been highly recommended for routine prevention and/or treatment of post-spinal hypotension. Norepinephrine is new vasopressor that has been suggested as a potential alternative to phenylephrine and was recently introduced in obstetric anesthesia because of the minimal cardiac depressant effect. The purpose of this study is to investigate the preventive effect of norepinephrine on post-spinal hypotension and the effect on inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVC-CI).

Arms & Interventions

Norepinephrine

Simultaneous with subarachnoid block, a bolus of norepinephrine was given followed by norepinephrine infusion

Intervention: Norepinephrine

Normal saline

Simultaneous with subarachnoid block, a bolus of normal saline was given followed by normal saline infusion

Intervention: normal saline

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The incidence of hypotension

Time Frame: 1 to 20 minutes after subarachnoid block

SBP decreased to \<80% of the baseline value

Inferior vena cava collapsibility index

Time Frame: 5 to 20 minutes after subarachnoid block

CI = (dIVCmax - dIVCmin)/dIVCmax

Secondary Outcomes

  • Arterial base excess of fetal vein blood(Immediately after delivery)
  • Incidence of hypertension(1 to 20 minutes after subarachnoid block)
  • Number of rescue norepinephrine(Immediately to 20 minutes after subarachnoid block)
  • APGAR score(10min after delivery)
  • The incidence of nausea and vomiting(1 to 20 minutes after subarachnoid block)
  • The incidence of bradycardia(1 to 20 minutes after subarachnoid block)
  • Pressure of oxygen of fetal vein blood(Immediately after delivery)
  • pH value of fetal vein blood(Immediately after delivery)
