Article Synopsis
- Norepinephrine appears to be as effective, or potentially better, than phenylephrine for preventing hypotension after spinal anesthesia in cesarean deliveries, especially in maintaining heart rate and cardiac output.
- A study involving 60 healthy patients evaluated the median effective dose (ED50) needed for both drugs to stabilize maternal blood pressure post-anesthesia, where patients were randomized to receive either phenylephrine or norepinephrine.
- Results showed that the ED50 was significantly lower for norepinephrine (1.0 µg.min-1) compared to phenylephrine (12.7 µg.min-1), indicating norepinephrine is approximately 13 times more potent when used in infusion.
Background: Pregnancy affects a woman's susceptibility to and severity of certain infectious diseases. Central neuraxial block for analgesia during labor is superior to nonneuraxial methods in efficacy, safety, and maternal satisfaction. Although Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) can be vertically transmitted from mother to fetus, little is known about the effects of COVID-19 on pregnant women or about anesthesia management and the risk of adverse effects related to neuraxial techniques in women with untreated COVID-19 during gestation.
