Abstract

The study was undertaken in the Department of Anaesthesiology, Gajra Raja Medical College, Gwalior. The study included 90 patients (age 20-35 years) undergoing elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia.

Maximum hypotension was observed in control group. As compared to the control group, incidence of hypotension was significantly less in phenylephrine group as well as ephedrine group. Also comparing ephedrine and phenylephrine groups, although incidence of hypotension was low in phenylephrine group but it was not found to be significant.

The incidence of hypotension was significantly low in phenylephrine group (p=0.000) and ephedrine group (p=0.005). But when phenylephrine and ephedrine groups were compared, although incidence of hypotension was low in phenylephrine group but it was not found to be significant (p=0.869).

Keywords: Intravenous Vasopressor, Spinal Anaesthesia, Hypotension & Phenylephrine.
