Norepinephrine for low blood pressure after cesarean anesthesia
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a medicine called norepinephrine to see if it helps prevent low blood pressure after the spinal anesthesia used during planned cesarean sections. If you qualify, you would receive the medicine during your procedure to keep your blood pressure stable.
