Continuous Norepinephrine vs Phenylephrine for Cesarean Blood Pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two medicines (norepinephrine and phenylephrine) given continuously through a vein to keep your blood pressure stable during a planned cesarean with spinal anesthesia. It aims to see which medicine works better for you and your baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with one full-term baby (not twins or more).
- You are scheduled for a planned cesarean section with spinal anesthesia.
- You are in good health overall (ASA class 1 or 2, meaning no serious medical conditions).
- Your normal blood pressure before the study is between 90 and 140 (top number).
- You do not have high blood pressure, heart or kidney problems, or a very high body mass index (above 40).

This trial tests two different doses of the drug noradrenaline to see which works better at preventing dangerously low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia for a planned C-section. This is for women who are at least 37 weeks pregnant and within a certain weight and height range.
This trial compares two medicines, norepinephrine and ephedrine, to see which one works better at keeping blood pressure stable during a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia. It will help doctors choose the safest option for mothers and babies.
This trial compares two medications, norepinephrine and phenylephrine, to see which works better at preventing low blood pressure during emergency C-sections under spinal anesthesia.
This study tests a medication called phenylephrine, which helps keep your blood pressure from dropping too low during spinal anesthesia for a planned cesarean section. It compares two positions—lying flat on your back versus tilted to the left—to find the best dose for preventing low blood pressure, which can affect you and your baby.
This study looks at how a pregnant woman's body mass index (BMI) affects the dose of a medicine called norepinephrine, which is given during a cesarean section to prevent low blood pressure. The goal is to find the right dose for each woman to keep her blood pressure stable during the procedure.
This trial tests two different doses of phenylephrine, a medicine used to manage blood pressure, in women having a planned cesarean section. It aims to see how each dose affects a common drug given to help the uterus contract after birth.
