Abstract

BACKGROUNDMaternal hypotension produces unpleasant symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and light headedness.More importantly, when severe and sustained, hypotension can impair uterine and intervillous blood flow and ultimately result in foetal acidosis and neonatal depression.Preventive measures include fluid preload, left lateral tilt, and use of vasopressors.Aims and Objectives-1.To study the effectiveness of Ephedrine and Phenylephrine in the treatment of hypotension secondary to spinal anaesthesia.2. To study the effect of vasopressors on foetal/neonatal outcome.
