Hemodynamic Measurements During Cesarean Section With Spinal Anesthesia

Phase 4

Completed

• Conditions: Healthy

• Registration Number: NCT00199784
• Lead Sponsor: Oslo University Hospital

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of low dose versus standard dose spinal anesthesia with and without intravenous phenylephrine-infusion on blood pressure, cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance.

Detailed Description

Hypotension during cesarean section with spinal anesthesia is common. We compare low dose versus standard dose spinal anesthesia with and without intravenous phenylephrine-infusion.
