Low-dose epinephrine for blood pressure stability during c-section
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if a tiny dose of epinephrine given before a spinal anesthesia infusion can help keep your blood pressure steady during a planned cesarean section. It aims to prevent drops in blood pressure that can occur after spinal anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 study compares two common medicines—epinephrine and norepinephrine—given as a continuous infusion during planned C-section to see which one keeps your blood pressure more stable. If you're a full-term mom having a planned C-section, this trial may help your care team choose the best option for you.
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 study tests whether taking caffeine before a planned C-section can reduce the amount of medicine (noradrenaline) needed to keep your blood pressure stable. It may help mothers who are having a planned C-section and want to avoid very low blood pressure during the procedure.
This trial tests two different spinal anesthesia techniques to see which one better prevents low blood pressure during planned cesarean delivery. It aims to improve safety and comfort for mothers.
