Norepinephrine with or without ephedrine during C-section
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
