Background and objectivesLimited data are present on safety and efficiency of epinephrine for the prophylaxis and treatment of spinal‐hypotension. This study was conducted to compare the effect of epinephrine with norepinephrine and phenylephrine on the treatment of spinal‐hypotension and ephedrine requirement during cesarean delivery.MethodsOne hundred and sixty parturients with uncomplicated pregnancies undergoing elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia were recruited. They were allocated randomly to receive norepinephrine 5 μg.mL‐1 (n = 40), epinephrine 5 μg.mL‐1 (n = 40), phenylephrine 100 μg.mL‐1 (n = 40) or 0.9% saline infusions (n = 40) immediately after induction of spinal anesthesia. Whenever systolic blood pressure drops to less than 80% of baseline, 5 mg of iv ephedrine was administered as rescue vasopressor. The incidence of hypotension, total number of hypotension episodes, the number of patients requiring ephedrine, the mean amount of ephedrine consumption and side effects were recorded.ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference in incidence of maternal hypotension between groups. The number of patients requiring ephedrine was significantly greater in group saline than in group phenylephrine (p < 0.001). However, it was similar between phenylephrine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine groups. The mean ephedrine consumption was significantly higher in group saline than in norepinephrine, epinephrine, phenylephrine groups (p = 0.001).ConclusionThere is no statistically significant difference in incidence of hypotension and ephedrine consumption during spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery with the use of epinephrine when compared to norepinephrine or phenylephrine. Epinephrine can be considered as an alternative agent for management of spinal hypotension.  相似文献

BackgroundHypotension is a common problem during spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. Intravenous fluid loading is used to correct preoperative dehydration and reduce the incidence and severity of hypotension. Different fluid regimens have been studied but colloid preload and crystalloid co-load have not been compared.MethodsIn this randomized double-blind study, 210 patients scheduled for elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were randomly allocated to receive either 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 500 mL before spinal anesthesia (colloid preload) or Ringer’s acetate solution 1000 mL administered rapidly starting with intrathecal injection (crystalloid co-load). Maternal hypotension (systolic blood pressure <80% of baseline or <90 mmHg) and severe hypotension (systolic blood pressure <80 mmHg) were treated with 5 and 10 mg ephedrine boluses, respectively. The primary outcome was the incidence of hypotension. Secondary outcomes included the incidence of severe hypotension, total ephedrine dose, nausea and vomiting and neonatal outcome assessed by Apgar scores and umbilical artery blood gas analysis.ResultsData analysis was performed on 205 patients; 103 in the colloid preload group and 102 in the crystalloid co-load group. There were no significant differences in the incidence of hypotension (52.4% vs. 42.2%; P=0.18) or severe hypotension (15.5% vs. 9.8%; P=0.31) between colloid preload and crystalloid co-load groups, respectively. The median [range] ephedrine dose was 5 [0–45] mg in the colloid preload group and 0 [0–35] mg in the crystalloid co-load group (P=0.065). There were no significant differences in maternal nausea or vomiting or neonatal outcomes between groups.ConclusionThe use of 1000 mL crystalloid co-load has similar effect to 500 mL colloid preload in reducing the incidence of hypotension after spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean delivery. Neither technique can totally prevent hypotension and should be combined with vasopressor use.  相似文献

BackgroundPre-loading with hetastarch decreases the incidence and severity of hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. However, pharmacokinetic studies with crystalloid predict that fluid loading should be more efficacious if rapidly administered immediately after induction of spinal anesthesia. The aim of this study was to compare pre- and co-loading of hetastarch for the prevention of hypotension following spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery.MethodsForty-six healthy term parturients scheduled for cesarean delivery were randomized to receive 500 mL of 6% hetastarch intravenously, either slowly before spinal anesthesia (pre-loading) or as quickly as possible immediately after spinal anesthesia (co-loading). Systolic blood pressure was maintained at or above 90% of baseline with intravenous vasopressor boluses (ephedrine 5 mg/mL + phenylephrine 25 μg/mL). The primary outcome was the volume of vasopressor mix required. Secondary outcomes included blood pressure and heart rate changes, time to first vasopressor use, nausea or vomiting, and neonatal outcomes (umbilical artery and vein pH, Apgar scores).ResultsThe pre-loading group used 3.5 ± 2 mL (mean ± SD) of vasopressor mixture compared with 3.2 ± 3 mL in the co-loading group (P = 0.6). There were no differences in any important maternal hemodynamic or neonatal outcome values between the two study groups.ConclusionHetastarch co-loading is as effective as pre-loading for the prevention of hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. Surgery need not be delayed to allow a predetermined pre-load to be administered before induction of spinal anesthesia.  相似文献

BackgroundPlacental transfer of ephedrine causes fetal effects when compared with phenylephrine. This study compared their drug effects on neonatal parameters after cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia.MethodsThree-hundred-and-fifty-four women undergoing elective cesarean delivery who needed intravenous vasopressor following spinal anesthesia were randomized into two groups. Group E received boluses of ephedrine 6 mg, and Group P phenylephrine 100 µg, titrated to maintain systolic blood pressure near baseline values. Neonatal heart rates at 10 and 30–45 min of age, oxygen saturation and capillary blood glucose at 30 min, and capillary blood lactate and urine metamphetamine were recorded.ResultsNeonatal heart rate at 10 min was significantly higher (mean difference 4.0, 95%CI 0.6 to 7.3, P=0.02) in Group E versus Group P, but this was not clinically relevant. There was a linear correlation between neonatal heart rate at 10 min and ephedrine dose in Group E (r2=0.29, 95%CI 0.22, 0.74, p <0.01). The decremental changes in neonatal heart rate at 10 and 30 min were significantly greater in Group E. Urine metamphetamine tests were positive in 19% of 44 neonatal urine samples. Neonatal heart rates at 30 min, oxygen saturation, capillary blood glucose and the incidence of tachycardia, respiratory problems or abnormal glucose, were not significantly different.ConclusionsEphedrine, compared to phenylephrine as a vasopressor during cesarean delivery, was associated with higher neonatal heart rate in the early post-birth period, but without a significant difference in clinical outcomes in uncomplicated pregnancies.  相似文献

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of HES 130/0.4 coloading compared to normal saline solution for prevention of hypotension during spinal anesthesia for elective caesarean section.Study designProspective, randomized.Patients and methodsOne hundred and twenty ASA I and II patients scheduled for elective caesarean section were recruited. Patients were randomized to receive either 500 mL of HES 130/0.4 (Voluven®) coloading (Group V) or 500 mL of normal saline solution coloading (Group C). Spinal anesthesia technique and ephedrine administration were standardized in both groups. The primary endpoint was the incidence of maternal hypotension during spinal anesthesia for elective caesarean section.ResultsHypotension occurred in 43 patients in group C and 24 patients in group V (p = 0.001). Ephedrine consumption was significantly lower in group V (P = 0.005). Nausea, vomiting and headache incidence was higher in group C (p = 0.006). Apgar scores and umbilical blood gazes were comparable between groups.ConclusionHES 130/0.4 coload was more effective than normal saline solution to prevent hypotension following spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean section. HES 130/0.4 coload reduced the incidence, the duration of longest hypotension, the need for ephedrine and the adverse maternal effects.  相似文献

BackgroundDuring spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery phenylephrine is the vasopressor of choice but can cause bradycardia. Norepinephrine has both β- and α-adrenergic activity suitable for maintaining blood pressure with less bradycardia. We hypothesized that norepinephrine would be superior to phenylephrine, requiring fewer rescue bolus interventions to maintain blood pressure.MethodsEighty-five parturients having spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean delivery were randomized to Group P (phenylephrine 0.1 μg/kg/min) or Group N (norepinephrine 0.05 μg/kg/min) fixed-rate infusions. Rescue bolus interventions of phenylephrine 100 μg for hypotension, or ephedrine 5 mg for bradycardia with hypotension, were given as required to maintain systolic blood pressure. Maternal hemodynamic variables were measured non-invasively.ResultsThere was no difference between groups in the proportion of patients who required rescue vasopressor boluses (Group P: 65.8% [n=25] vs. Group N: 48.8% [n=21], P=0.12). The proportion of patients who received ⩾1 bolus of phenylephrine was similar between groups (Group P: 52.6% [n=20] vs. Group N: 46.5% [n=20], P=0.58). However, more patients received ⩾1 bolus of ephedrine in the phenylephrine group (Group P: 23.7% [n=9] vs. Group N: 2.3% [n=1], P <0.01). The incidence of emesis was greater in the phenylephrine group (Group P: 26.3% vs. Group P: 16.3%, P <0.001). Hemodynamic parameters including heart rate, the incidence of bradycardia, blood pressure, cardiac output, cardiac index, stroke volume, and systemic vascular resistance and neonatal outcome were similar between groups (all P <0.05).ConclusionNorepinephrine fixed-rate infusion has efficacy for preventing hypotension and can be considered as an alternative to phenylephrine.  相似文献

PurposeTo compare possible unlabeled effect of ephedrine, as shivering prophylaxis, with meperidine during spinal anesthesia for Cesarean Section.MethodsAfter institutional ethical committee approval, 96 parturients scheduled for elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia were randomly allocated according to shivering prophylaxis to receive either 15 mg meperidine (group M, n = 48) or 6 mg ephedrine (group E, n = 48) intravenously before spinal block. Incidence and intensity of shivering as well as side effects of either drug were assessed.ResultsThe incidence shivering in meperidine and ephedrine groups in women undergoing Cesarean Section under spinal anesthesia was comparable (27%, 29% respectively, P = 0.06). Also, intensity of shivering was not different between two groups. Moreover, phenylephrine requirement and incidence of nausea and vomiting were significantly less in ephedrine group (121 ± 2.2% and 4.1% respectively) relative to meperidine group (168 ± 3.2% and 16.6% respectively).ConclusionThe prophylactic use of a low dose ephedrine is effective as meperidine for shivering prophylaxis in women undergoing Cesarean Section under spinal anesthesia as meperidine. Moreover, it is associated with less hypotension, nausea and vomiting.  相似文献

BackgroundHypotension is frequently observed after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section and can be detrimental to both mother and baby. We investigated the role of the pleth variability index for predicting hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section.MethodsEighty-five parturients undergoing elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were enrolled. We recorded pleth variability index and perfusion index before anesthesia, and blood pressure, heart rate and pulse oxygen saturation before and after anesthesia. The association between baseline pleth variability index and perfusion index with hypotension after spinal anesthesia was explored using multivariate analysis.ResultsHypotension occurred in 42 parturients. Baseline pleth variability index was higher in parturients who experienced hypotension than in those who did not (P < 0.05), although there was no difference in baseline perfusion index. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.66 for baseline pleth variability index for the prediction of hypotension (P < 0.05). Baseline pleth variability index was significantly related to the incidence of hypotension (P = 0.017), but was not significantly related to the magnitude of the decrease in systolic blood pressure. Baseline perfusion index was not significantly related to the magnitude of the decrease in systolic blood pressure.ConclusionGreater baseline pleth variability index was associated with hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section, but may not be a clinically useful predictor.  相似文献

BackgroundIntrauterine resuscitation (IUR) is to improve O2 delivery to the placenta and umbilical blood flow, for reversal of foetal hypoxia and acidosis. We evaluated whether maintaining a lateral position after an intrathecal injection of a relatively low dose of hyperbaric bupivacaine and high dose of fentanyl improving the efficacy of spinal anaesthesia, IUR and preventing hypotension during cesarean delivery.MethodsOne hundred and seventy two healthy women undergoing elective cesarean delivery were enrolled in a double blind prospective randomized study. Spinal anesthesia was conducted in the right lateral position which maintained for 6 min for all the patients participated in the study, and then the subjects were turned supine. Patients were randomly allocated to two groups: low-dose spinal bupivacaine (LD) group (n = 86) patients received 6 mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% and 15 μg of fentanyl, high-dose spinal bupivacaine (HD) group (n = 86) patients received 10 mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine and 15 μg of fentanyl. The incidence of hypotension and nausea, ephedrine requirement, maximal block height, and Apgar score at 1 and 5 min.ResultsThe authors found significant decrease in MAP in the group that was given the high dose of bupivacaine the incidence of hypotension was 80% but the LD spinal bupivacaine group was hemodynamically stable. The lowest blood pressure, boluses of inj. ephedrine used, or nausea were more significant in the HD group than in LD group. Onset of hypotension was more rapid (8 ± 3 vs. 16 ± 6 min, P < 0.001), and the sensory block level was more cephalad in HD group than in LD group (T2 [C8–T5] vs. T4 [T1–T6], P = 0.001). Apgar scores did not differ between the groups.ConclusionMaintaining the lateral position for 6 min after an intrathecal injection of a relatively low dose of hyperbaric bupivacaine and high dose of fentanyl resulted in improving the efficacy of spinal anaesthesia, IUR by more gradual and higher cephalad sensory block, without an increase in the incidence of maternal hypotension.  相似文献

BackgroundMaternal hypotension is common after spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. We compared the effects of prophylactic ephedrine with ondansetron on post-spinal blood pressure.MethodsOne hundred and sixty-eight term, singleton parturients were enrolled in this prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Patients were randomized to receive either prophylactic intravenous ephedrine 10 mg (Group E), ondansetron 8 mg (Group O) or normal saline (Group P) immediately after spinal anesthesia. The primary outcome was maternal blood pressure between spinal block and delivery; secondary outcomes were nausea and vomiting scores, Apgar scores, numbers requiring intraoperative vasoconstrictors and the dose of vasoconstrictors required.ResultsFifty-six patients were recruited to each group, but two in Group P were excluded from the analysis owing to protocol violations. There were no significant differences between the groups in maternal systolic, diastolic or mean arterial pressures, or the proportion of patients experiencing hypotension. The proportion of patients in Group E requiring intraoperative ephedrine or any vasoconstrictor (ephedrine and/or norepinephrine) was significantly lower than that in Group P (P=0.023 and 0.034, respectively). The proportion of patients in Group O requiring intraoperative norepinephrine was significantly lower than that in Group P (P=0.02). There was no difference in the proportions of patients in Groups E and O requiring any vasoconstrictors (P=0.34).ConclusionsThere was no significant difference in maternal blood pressure in women administered prophylactic ephedrine or ondansetron after spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery compared with placebo. Ephedrine reduced the proportion of patients requiring a rescue vasoconstrictor before delivery.  相似文献

BackgroundPrevious studies using low-dose spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery have focused on hypotension and efficacy. This study evaluated whether, using a combined spinal–epidural technique, there was a difference in onset of anesthesia for cesarean delivery between low-dose spinal with an immediate epidural local anesthetic bolus, and conventional-dose spinal anesthesia.MethodsForty healthy term nulliparous women undergoing elective cesarean delivery with a combined spinal–epidural technique were enrolled into this prospective, randomized, double-blind study. Patients were randomly allocated to the low-dose (Group L) or conventional-dose group (Group C). Patients in Group L received intrathecal isobaric bupivacaine 5 mg with sufentanil 2.5 μg followed by epidural 2% lidocaine 5 mL; patients in Group C received intrathecal isobaric bupivacaine 10 mg with sufentanil 2.5 μg followed by epidural saline 5 mL. The onset of anesthesia (defined as the time from spinal injection to a block to T6), incidence of hypotension, maximal sensory block, epidural supplementation and side effects were recorded.ResultsAll blocks reached T6 within 11 min except for one patient in Group L. There were no differences in onset of anesthesia (9.9 ± 3.2 min in Group L vs. 8.5 ± 1.2 min in Group C, P = 0.08), maximal block level and the number of patients who required epidural supplementation in both groups. Hypotension occurred in 8 patients (40%) in Group L and 15 patients (75%) in Group C (P = 0.02).ConclusionsIntrathecal bupivacaine 5 mg with immediate 2% epidural lidocaine 5 mL provided comparable onset and efficacy of anesthesia as bupivacaine 10 mg with immediate epidural normal saline 5 mL for cesarean delivery.  相似文献

BackgroundFluid bolus administration is a standard treatment for hypotension. However, the effectiveness of the traditional prophylactic bolus in parturients undergoing spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery has been questioned. One potential mechanism for the failure of a prophylactic fluid bolus to prevent hypotension is hypervolemia-induced destruction of the endothelial glycocalyx, a structure that plays a vital role in regulating intravascular fluid shifts.MethodsThirty healthy parturients undergoing elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia were recruited. Known endothelial glycocalyx biomarkers, heparan sulfate and syndecan-1 along with atrial natriuretic peptide, were measured before and after a 750-mL crystalloid fluid bolus. Cardiac performance parameters, cardiac index and systemic vascular resistance, were monitored during the fluid bolus using thoracic-impedance cardiography.ResultsA significant increase in both heparan sulfate 96 ng/mg (P=0.0098) and syndecan-1 2.4 ng/mg (P=0.045) were observed after the fluid bolus. There was a non-significant increase in atrial natriuretic peptide 0.6 pg/mg (P=0.293). Cardiac parameters showed a small but significant change; over an average of 15 min, cardiac index increased by 0.1 L/min/m2 (P=0.0005) and systemic vascular resistance decreased by 30.7 dyn.s/cm5 (P=0.0025).ConclusionsA prophylactic fluid bolus in parturients undergoing spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery disrupts the endothelial glycocalyx, as noted by a statistically significant increase in post-bolus heparan sulfate and syndecan-1 levels. Although studied in the past, atrial natriuretic peptide could not explain this disruption. Our fluid bolus did not have a clinically relevant effect on cardiac performance.  相似文献

BackgroundFew studies have assessed the efficacy and safety of continuous spinal anesthesia in obstetrics, although placement of a catheter in the intrathecal space theoretically offers advantages in these patients.MethodsNinety-two women scheduled for elective cesarean delivery using continuous spinal anesthesia with the catheter-over-needle technique (22- or 24-gauge Spinocath®) were included in the study. The doses of local anesthetic used, hemodynamic variables, use of ephedrine and other drugs, and incidence of complications such as technical failure and postdural puncture headache (PDPH) were recorded.ResultsThe mean (±SD) dose of hyperbaric bupivacaine used was 8.2 ± 1.8 mg. The incidence of hypotension was 30% and the mean total dose of ephedrine was 4 ± 7 mg. The continuous spinal anesthetic technique failed in 18 women (20%). The overall incidence of post-dural-puncture headache was 29%; 18% of patients with post-dural-puncture headache required a blood patch.ConclusionsCompared to previous reports, the incidence of block failure and PDPH in this study was unacceptably high and therefore the risks of the technique appear to outweigh the advantages of continuous spinal anesthesia in obstetric practice.  相似文献

BackgroundSpinal anesthesia has many advantages for cesarean section parturients, but hypotension is considered the most frequent complication and can be managed by different interventions. One of these interventions is to give a serotonin receptor antagonist prior to spinal anesthesia.ObjectivesTo compare between two serotonin receptor antagonists on the hemodynamics, sensory, and motor blockade induced by intrathecal bupivacaine in parturients undergoing cesarean section.Patients and methodsSixty patients undergoing elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia by intrathecal bupivacaine were randomly divided into three groups (20 pregnant females of ASA I–II physical status in each group). Group O received intravenous 4 mg ondansetron diluted in 10 ml normal saline and injected over 1 min, 5 min before spinal anesthesia, group G given intravenous 1 mg granisetron by the same route and group S given 10 ml normal saline. Mean arterial blood pressure, heart rate, vasopressor use, sensory, and motor blockade were assessed.ResultsDecreases in mean arterial pressure were significantly lower in group O than groups G and S with lower vasopressor use (P < 0.05), while there was significant faster sensory recovery in group G than groups O and S (P < 0.05). Actually, there were significant decrease in the incidence of nausea in groups O and G than group S (P = 0.008).ConclusionIn parturient females undergoing elective cesarean section, intravenous 4 mg ondansetron before subarachnoid block significantly decreased both the hypotension and the doses of vasopressor used, while intravenous 1 mg granisetron prior to subarachnoid block induced faster sensory recovery compared to both the ondansetron and the saline groups, with no significant differences between the later two groups.  相似文献

BackgroundSpinal anesthesia is a standard technique for cesarean section but can cause hypotension which may be related to venous pooling secondary to progesterone-induced decreases in vascular tone. This study investigated the use of a sequential compression mechanical pump with thigh-high sleeves with compression cycles timed to venous refilling. We hypothesized that this would recruit pooled venous blood from the lower limbs, maintain the central blood volume and thus decrease the incidence of hypotension.MethodsOne hundred parturients scheduled for elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were recruited and randomly assigned to use of either a mechanical pump (Group M) or control (Group C). A standardized protocol for co-hydration and anesthesia was followed. Hypotension, defined as a decrease in systolic blood pressure by >20% from baseline, was treated with 6-mg boluses of intravenous ephedrine. The incidence of hypotension was defined as the primary outcome. Median ephedrine requirement was taken as a measure of the severity of hypotension.ResultsHypotension occurred in 12 of 47 (25.5%) patients in Group M compared to 27 of 45 (60%) in Group C (P = 0.001). The median [range] ephedrine dose was greater in Group C (12 [0–24] mg) compared to Group M (0 [0–12] mg) (P < 0.001). There was no difference between groups in the time to onset of hypotension.ConclusionThe use of a sequential compression mechanical pump that detects venous refilling and cycles accordingly, reduced the incidence and severity of hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section.  相似文献

PurposeSingle shot spinal anesthesia is used worldwide for hip fracture repair surgery in the elderly. Arterial hypotension is a frequent adverse effect. We hypothesized that lowering local anesthetics dose could decrease the incidence of arterial hypotension, while maintaining quality of surgical anesthesia.MethodsIn a randomized double blinded study, 66 patients over the age of 65 years, with hip fracture needing surgical repair, were assigned to B0.5 group 7.5 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine 5 mg/ml (control group), and B0.25 group 3.75 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine 2.5 mg/ml (study group). Sensory and motor block level, and hemodynamic parameters including blood presure, heart rate and vasopressor dose administration were registered, along with rescue anesthesia needs, the feasibility of surgery, its duration, and regression time of sensory anesthesia to T12.ResultsAfter exclusions, 61 patients were included in the final analysis. Arterial hypotension incidence was lower in the B0.25 group (at the 5, 10, and 15 min determinations), and a lower amount of vasopressor drugs was needed (mean accumulated ephedrine dose 1.6 mg vs. 8.7 mg in the B0.5 group, p < 0.002). Sensory block regression time to T12 was shorter in the B0.25 group, mean 78.6 ± 23.6 (95% CI 51.7–110.2) min vs. 125.5 ± 37.9 (95% CI 101.7–169.4) min in the B0.5 group, p = 0.033. All but one patient in the B0.25 group were operated on under the anesthetic procedure first intended. No rescue anesthesia was needed.ConclusionLowering bupivacaine dose for single shot spinal anesthesia for hip fracture repair surgery in elderly patients was effective in decreasing the occurrence of arterial hypotension and vasopressor use, while intraoperative quality remained.  相似文献

BackgroundContinuously infused phenylephrine is frequently used to reduce the incidence of hypotension in women undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia, but less is known about the prophylactic bolus method. We evaluated three prophylactic bolus doses of phenylephrine during low-dose spinal anesthesia for cesarean section.MethodsOne-hundred-and-eighty-four patients were randomized to receive 0.9% saline 2 mL (Control Group) or phenylephrine 1.0 μg/kg (PHE1 Group), 1.5 μg/kg (PHE1.5 Group), or 2.0 μg/kg (PHE2 Group) immediately after induction of combined spinal-epidural anesthesia. Maternal blood pressure and heart rate were recorded at 1-min intervals until delivery. Hypotension, defined as systolic blood pressure <80% of baseline, was treated with rescue doses of phenylephrine 100 μg at 1-min intervals until hypotension resolved. The incidence of nausea, vomiting, bradycardia, and hypertension, as well as Apgar scores and umbilical blood gases, were recorded.ResultsThe incidence of hypotension was 71.7% (33/46) in the Control Group, 68.9% (31/45) in the PHE1 Group, 37.0% (17/46) in the PHE1.5 Group and 45.7% (21/46) in the PHE2 Group (P=0.001). The total rescue dose of phenylephrine was greater in the Control Group than those in the PHE1.5 Group (P <0.05) and PHE2 Group (P <0.05). The incidence of hypertension increased as the dose of prophylactic phenylephrine increased (P <0.001) and was highest in the PHE2 group (37%). Other variables did not differ among the four groups.ConclusionsUnder the conditions of this study, prophylactic bolus injection of phenylephrine 1.5 μg/kg was a suitable alternative method for reducing the incidence of hypotension during low-dose spinal anesthesia for cesarean section.  相似文献

BackgroundObstetric anesthesia guidelines recommend regional over general anesthesia for most caesarean sections to decrease the risk for both fetus and mother.Aim of the workTo determine the effects of combined spinal epidural anesthesia and general anesthesia on the newborns and the mother undergoing elective cesarean section.SubjectsA total of 60 consecutive women with uncomplicated singleton pregnancies at term and scheduled to undergo elective cesarean section at Kasr Al-Aini obstetric hospital participated in this prospective study. The women were divided into 2 groups (each 30), a general anesthesia group (A) and combined spinal–epidural anesthesia group (B).MethodsUmbilical artery blood gas analysis and Apgar scores were assessed at 1 and 5 min after delivery in the newborn while systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation and (capnography in general anesthesia) were measured preoperative and after 5, 10 and 15 min of induction of anesthesia in the mothers. In addition, the time from induction of anesthesia till delivery of the fetus and duration in operative room were measured.ResultsApgar score recorded statistically significant differences between the 2 groups at 1 min and 5 min, where with combined spinal–epidural anesthesia the Apgar score readings were higher than with general anesthesia. HCO3 readings showed a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups after 1 and 5 min, where the newborns in general anesthesia group had a statistically significant lower HCO3 compared to the newborns in combined spinal–epidural group. Patients in general anesthesia group were significantly more tachycardic compared to patients in combined spinal–epidural group.ConclusionCombined spinal–epidural anesthesia is safer on the newborn than general anesthesia regarding the APGAR scores and acid–base balance.  相似文献

BackgroundMost studies comparing phenylephrine and ephedrine have been conducted during elective caesarean sections in healthy mothers with no fetal compromise. The effect of vasopressors on fetal outcome may differ between healthy and compromised fetuses. There has been little research into the effect of phenylephrine and ephedrine, when used for management of post-spinal hypotension in the presence of potential fetal compromise.MethodsHealthy women with a singleton pregnancy undergoing emergency caesarean section for fetal compromise under spinal anaesthesia were studied. One-hundred-and-six consecutive subjects, who developed hypotension after spinal anaesthesia, were randomly allocated to two groups of 53 each, to receive either phenylephrine (Group P) or ephedrine (Group E). For every systolic blood pressure reading <100 mmHg patients received phenylephrine 100 μg or ephedrine 8 mg depending on group allocation. Umbilical blood gas parameters and Apgar scores were recorded.ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference in umbilical arterial pH (P=0.79), umbilical venous pH (P=0.98), other blood gas parameters, incidence of fetal acidosis (P=1.00) and Apgar scores. The number of hypotensive episodes, vasopressor doses for treatment of the first hypotensive episode and the total number of doses used during the study period were comparable. The median [IQR] total number of doses of phenylephrine and ephedrine used before delivery were 2 [1–2] and 2 [1–2], respectively (P=0.67). More patients receiving ephedrine (24.5%) developed tachycardia than those receiving phenylephrine (3.8%) (P=0.004). Bradycardia was more common with phenylephrine, with 39.6% of patients in Group P as compared to only 1.9% of patients in Group E developing a heart rate <60 beats/min after vasopressor administration (P=0.001).ConclusionsBoth phenylephrine 100 μg and ephedrine 8 mg boluses are equally efficacious when treating post-spinal hypotension in the presence of potential fetal compromise. However, phenylephrine may be a better choice in the presence of maternal tachycardia.  相似文献

Back groundSome of tense ascitic patients with end stage liver disease and portal hypertension were presented to our emergency department with surgical acute abdomen that required urgent abdominal surgery which might be associated with inevitable rapid and relatively complete evacuation of this ascitic fluid with possible occurrence of post-paracentesis-induced hypotension. The aims of this study were to compare between the intraoperative use of terlipressin versus norepinephrine for the management of paracentesis induced refractory hypotension not responding to colloid resuscitation or ephedrine in patients with end-stage liver disease during emergency abdominal surgery.Patients and methodThirty-four patients experienced refractory hypotension during or shortly after the paracentesis process were randomized to receive either bolus dose of terlipressin (1 mg over 30 min) followed immediately by a continuous infusion of 2 μg/kg/h (T group, n = 17) or norepinephrine infusion at starting dose of 0.1 μg/kg/min (N group, n = 17).MeasurementsHemodynamic parameters, cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance, blood gases, lactic acid, liver and kidney functions.ResultsAll patients of both groups showed significant decreases in MAP during or immediately after the paracentesis process to reach mean values of 57 ± 1.4 and 58 ± 1.8 mmHg in terlipressin or norepinephrine groups respectively. This was associated with drop in the SVR that reached mean values of 445 ± 28 and 425 ± 20 dynes/sec/cm5 in both terlipressin and norepinephrine groups respectively. At the 2nd day post operative there was significant increase in serum creatinine values in the norepinephrine group.ConclusionTerlipressin and norepinephrine successfully counteracted the post-paracentesis refractory hypotension and the drop of the systemic vascular resistance. It also showed the renal protective effects of terlipressin in the immediate postoperative period.  相似文献
