However, the dose-response of metaraminol has not been fully determined and the optimal infusion dose is unknown.

In this multicentre, randomised, double-blind, non-inferiority study, we compared prophylactic phenylephrine or metaraminol infusions, started immediately after spinal anaesthesia, in 185 women who underwent elective caesarean section.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine serum oxytocin concentrations following different regimens of prophylactic oxytocin administration in women undergoing elective caesarean delivery.

Methods: Thirty healthy pregnant patients were randomized, after clamping of the umbilical cord, to receive intravenous oxytocin in one of the following groups: G1 (n=9), 10 IU of oxytocin infused over 30 min (0.33 IU/min); G2 (n=11), 10 IU of oxytocin infused over 3 min and 45 s (2.
