Metaraminol vs Norepinephrine for preventing low blood pressure during C-section
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two medications, metaraminol and norepinephrine, given as a continuous infusion during a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia to prevent dangerously low blood pressure. The goal is to see which one works better for keeping your blood pressure stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two forms of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) given through a spinal shot before a planned C-section. It aims to see which one causes less of a drop in blood pressure after the medicine is given.
This trial compares giving norepinephrine alone versus norepinephrine plus ephedrine to keep your blood pressure stable during a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia. It may help find the best way to prevent low blood pressure during delivery.
This trial tests whether a higher or lower dose of norepinephrine works better to treat dangerously low blood pressure that can happen during a C-section. If you are a healthy full-term mother having a planned C-section, you may be able to join.
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.
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 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.
