Comparison of Phenylephrine versus Ephedrine for Management of Hypotension during Spinal Anaesthesia for Elective Caesarean Section

Various modalities had been tried for optimal control of hypotension after spinal anaesthesia especially for caesarian section. The present study was undertaken to evaluate effects of intravenous ephedrine& phenylephrine in terms of maternal cardiac effects (Pulse Rate, Systolic, Diastolic & mean Blood Pressure), Palpitation, Arrhythmias & G.I.T. effects (Nausea, Vomiting)& neonatal outcome in the form of APGAR scoring of foetus in caesarian section under spinal Anaesthesia.
