Comparison of an ephedrine infusion with lidocaine %5 for prevention of hypotension during spinal anesthesia in cesarean section.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Spinal anesthesia is the method of choice for cesarean section and in most cases causes hypotension.

Objective

The aim of this study was to treat hypotension by ephedrine in order to prevent maternal and fetal complications, and also to determine the effective amount of ephedrine for reducing arterial hypertension in order to prevent its complications, including cardiac arrhythmias.

Method

This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 131 patients. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) of the candidates for cesarean section in the supine position was measured and recorded as mean baseline blood pressure. 75 mg of lidocaine (5%) was used as spinal anesthesia, following which the average blood pressure was measured every 1 min. In the event of a decrea
