Phenylephrine 75 micrograms versus 50 micrograms to prevent oxytocin-related low blood pressure during cesarean

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

After delivery during an elective cesarean under spinal anesthesia, participants will receive oxytocin as usual and be given either a 75 µg or 50 µg bolus of phenylephrine to prevent hypotension. Blood pressure will be closely monitored and any need for additional vasopressors or adverse events will be recorded. The trial excludes women with placental abnormalities, hypertensive disorders, or those taking beta-blockers or vasodilators. The primary comparison is the incidence and severity of oxytocin-induced hypotension between the two dose groups.
