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.
