Comparison of Two Norepinephrine Rescue Bolus Doses for Management of Severe Post-Spinal Hypotension During Elective Caesarean Delivery: A Randomized, Controlled Trial.

Background: Post-spinal hypotension is associated with maternal and neonatal complications; therefore, prompt control maternal blood pressure is necessary. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of two norepinephrine bolus doses in the rescue management of severe maternal hypotension during elective Cesarean delivery.

Methods: We included full-term pregnant women scheduled for Cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia.

Comparison of the hemodynamic effects of opioid-based versus lidocaine-based induction of anesthesia with propofol in older adults: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: The present study aims to compare the hemodynamic profile of lidocaine and fentanyl during propofol induction of general anesthesia.

Methods: This randomized controlled trial included patients aged above 60 years undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery. The included patients received either 1 mg/kg lidocaine (n = 50) or 1 mcg/kg fentanyl (n = 50) based on total body weight with propofol induction of anesthesia.

The use of epinephrine infusion for the prevention of spinal hypotension during Caesarean delivery: A randomized controlled dose-finding trial.

Background: This study aimed to compare three epinephrine doses for the prevention of spinal hypotension during Caesarean delivery.

Methods: This randomized controlled trial included full-term pregnant women undergoing elective Caesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. The participants received prophylactic epinephrine infusions at rates of 0.

Establishing a Technique for Pectoral II-Block Catheter Insertion with Ultrasound Guidance: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy and safety of a modified technique for ultrasound-guided pectoral II block for postoperative pain control after mastectomy.

Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, patients were randomly allocated into two groups (40 patients each). Group I patients were subjected to ultrasound-guided pectoral II block with injection of 10 mL lidocaine 1% as a dissecting solution before attempting catheter insertion, while group II patients underwent the standard procedure without a dissecting solution.

Comparison of two Norepinephrine rescue bolus for Management of Post-spinal Hypotension during Cesarean Delivery: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Data on the best norepinephrine bolus dose for management of hypotension are limited. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of two norepinephrine bolus doses in the rescue management of maternal hypotension during cesarean delivery.

Methods: This randomized, controlled trial included mothers scheduled for cesarean delivery with spinal anesthesia with a prophylactic norepinephrine infusion.

Accuracy and trending of non-invasive oscillometric blood pressure monitoring at the wrist in obese patients.

Background: In obese patients, non-invasive blood pressure monitoring in the arm is difficult due to the arm size and morphology. We compared the non-invasive oscillometric wrist blood pressure measurement with the arm and forearm in obese patients monitored with invasive radial blood pressure (reference standard).

Methods: This prospective observational study included adult obese patients scheduled for bariatric surgery.

Norepinephrine Infusion for Preventing Postspinal Anesthesia Hypotension during Cesarean Delivery: A Randomized Dose-finding Trial.

Background: Norepinephrine has been recently introduced for prophylaxis against postspinal hypotension during cesarean delivery; however, no data are available regarding its optimum dose. The objective of this study is to compare three infusion rates of norepinephrine for prophylaxis against postspinal hypotension during cesarean delivery.

Methods: The authors conducted a double-blinded, randomized, controlled study including full-term pregnant women scheduled for cesarean delivery.
