Hypotension Prediction Index vs Norepinephrine Infusion for Prevention of Spinal Hypotension for Cesarean Delivery
- Conditions
- Hypotension During SurgeryHypotension Drug-Induced
- Interventions
- Device: Hypotension Prediction Index
- Registration Number
- NCT05970770
- Brief Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare for non inferiority for fetal wellbeing Hypotension Prediction Index - Guided Therapy and Continuous Norepinephrine Infusion in in the Prevention of Spinal Anesthesia-Induced Hypotension for Cesarean Delivery.
The main question it aims to answer are:
• are fetal arterial base excess comparable with the two treatments?
Participants will undergo continuous noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring with advanced Hypotension Prediction Index Researchers will compare with patients receiving continuous norepinephrine infusion and standard blood pressure monitoring with arm cuff.
- Detailed Description
In the Hypotension Prediction Index group, patients will be monitored continuously with a noninvasive hemodynamic device. The Hypotension Prediction Index is a number based on al algorithm that predicts impeding hypotension if it is greater than 85. In the treatment group, patients will be treated with norepinephrine boluses if the Hypotension Prediction Index is \>85. In the control group patients will be treated with preventive continuous infusion of norepinephrine and blood pressure will be measured noninvasively every minute. Data about blood pressure and the vasopressive treatment will start concomitantly to the administration of spinal anesthesia and will stop after delivery. blood gas samples will be then collected from the placental umbilical artery to compare fetal arterial base excess as primary outcome for non-inferiority.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Fetal Base excess at birth withdrawn from umbilical fetal artery as index of perioperative metabolic acidosis
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Hypertensive episodes from spinal anesthesia until delivery systolic blood pressure \>140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \>100 mmHg
Apgar score at 5 minutes from birth Apgar is a quick test performed on a baby at 1 and 5 minutes after birth, examines the baby's breathing effort, heart rate, muscle tone, reflexes, skin color. Each category is scored with 0, 1, or 2, depending on the observed condition. The Apgar score is based on a total score of 1 to 10. The higher the score, the better the baby is doing after birth.
Hypotensive episodes from spinal anesthesia until delivery (sistolic blood pressure \<80% of baseline values for \<1 minute)
