Caffeine before planned cesarean section to reduce blood pressure medicine
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving caffeine before a planned cesarean section can reduce the need for a medicine called noradrenaline (which helps maintain blood pressure during surgery). If you are having a planned C-section, this trial may help make your blood pressure more stable during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 37 weeks pregnant with one baby (full term).
- Your cesarean section must be planned ahead of time (elective).
- You should be in generally good health (classified as ASA II).
- Your systolic blood pressure (the top number) must be 100 mmHg or higher.
- You cannot have a bleeding disorder or very low platelet count.
- You cannot be allergic to local anesthetics or caffeine, and you must not have preeclampsia.

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 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 looks at how a pregnant woman's body mass index (BMI) affects the dose of a medicine called norepinephrine, which is given during a cesarean section to prevent low blood pressure. The goal is to find the right dose for each woman to keep her blood pressure stable during the procedure.
This study compares two types of spinal anesthesia techniques used during a planned cesarean section to see which one is better at preventing a drop in blood pressure. If you are scheduled for a cesarean section, this trial may help improve your care and comfort.
This trial tests two medicines given through an IV during a planned cesarean section to prevent a sudden drop in blood pressure (hypotension) after spinal anesthesia. One medicine is called metaraminol and the other is norepinephrine. Both are commonly used to keep blood pressure stable, and the goal is to find out which works better and is safer 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.
