Study of Dosage of Prophylactic Intravenous Ephedrine for Spinal Induced Hypotension during Caesarian Section in Jharkhand Population

Background: Hypotension occurs frequently in spinal anesthesia induction, especially in adults and patients undergoing lower abdominal and inferior extremities. It causes decreased uterine blood flow, which may be le-thal to the mother and newborn. Method: Out of 80 (eighty), 40 were administered ephedrine, and 40 in the controlled group were administered the same quantity of normal saline during spinal anesthesia. Hemodynamic and neonatal outcomes were noted and compared. Results: In comparison of systolic BP at the interval of 1, 2, 3, and 15 minutes had significant p values. In Apgar studies at the internal of 1, 5 minutes had significant o value. Moreover, PH of umbilical cord blood also had a significant p value. Conclusion: It is confirmed that IV infusion of Ephedrine is more effective than crystalloid preloading in pre-venting hypotension in parturients undergoing caesarian section without causing hemodynamic complications.
