Norepinephrine vs. phenylephrine for blood pressure in C-section
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 trial compares two medications, dexamethasone (a steroid) and ondansetron (an anti-nausea drug), to see which better prevents low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia during a cesarean section in women with preeclampsia. It aims to find a safer way to keep blood pressure stable during delivery.
This study compares two types of spinal anesthesia for planned cesarean sections to see which one causes less of a drop in blood pressure. It may help you and your doctor choose the safest option for your delivery.
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 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 is for women having planned C-sections with spinal anesthesia. It tests whether combining two blood-pressure-supporting medicines (norepinephrine and ephedrine) works better, or is just as safe, as using one medicine alone to keep your blood pressure stable during the surgery. The goal is to see if this reduces side effects like low blood pressure for you and your baby.
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.
