COMPARISON OF BOLUS PHENYLEPHRINE, EPHEDRINE AND MEPHENTERMINE FOR MAINTENANCE OF ARTERIAL PRESSURE DURING SPINAL ANAESTHESIA IN CAESAREAN SECTION
AbstractWe studied 90 patients undergoing elective as well as emergency caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia who developed hypotension after subarachnoid block (SAB). They were randomly divided in three groups: Group P Phenylephrine 100µg (n=30), Group E Ephedrine 6mg (n=30) or Group M Mephentermine 6mg (n=30) as IV bolus. Hypotension was defined as decrease in systolic arterial pressure > 20% of baseline values. Elevation of systolic arterial pressure in group P was significantly high for first 6 min of bolus dose as compared to group E and M. There was significant reduction in heart rate in group P. Neonatal Apgar score was >7 in all three groups
