Objective: To study the effects of dopamine and phenylephrine for treatment of hypotension during cesarean section under combined spinal epidural anesthesia (CSEA) on the stereology of the placenta.
Methods: Forty puerperants undergoing cesarean section under CSEA were randomly divided into dopamine group and phenylephrine group. Ropivacaine (16 mg) was administered immediately after spinal anethesia. Blood pressure was maintained near the baseline by adjusting the drug infusion rate. Fetal blood gas, Apgar score, and placental villus microvascular stereological changes were observed during the operation.
Results: The microvascular density was significantly lower in dopamine group than in phenylephrine group (P<0.05). Phenylephrine group showed significantly lower umbilical artery blood pH than dopamine group (P<0.05). The Apgar score and blood pressure were comparable between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared to the baseline, both of the two groups showed significantly lowered heart rate during the operation (P<0.01).
Conclusion: Dopamine is associated with the risk of fetal acidosis. Phenylephrine is helpful for preventing hypotension by increasing placental blood flow and improving oxygen supply to ensure maternal and fetal safety during cesarean section.

Background: Epidural labor analgesia (ELA) is widely and safely used for labor pain relief. However, it remains unclear whether ELA affects maternal and neonatal outcomes in women suffering from preeclampsia.
Methods: This study reviewed the medical records of women with preeclampsia at ≥ 28 weeks of gestation between January 2015 and December 2020.

Background: The use of a fluid co-load has been shown to enhance hemodynamic stability and diminish the occurrence of hypotension after spinal anesthesia when paired with prophylactic norepinephrine. This research aimed to identify the effective dosages (ED and ED) of prophylactic norepinephrine boluses, in conjunction with a crystalloid co-load, for the prevention of hypotension after spinal anesthesia in cesarean delivery patients.
Methods: Patients were administered crystalloid co-loads at a dosage of 10 mL/kg, in addition to preventive norepinephrine dosages direct following spinal anesthesia administration.

Background: Arterial switch operation (ASO) for dextro-transposition of the great arteries was developed four decades ago, and women with ASO have reached childbearing age. Although over 40% of the pregnant women who received ASO gave birth via cesarean delivery, detailed information about anesthesia management has not been reported. This study aimed to evaluate anesthesia and perioperative outcomes in pregnant women with ASO undergoing cesarean delivery.

Preeclampsia is a common condition of pregnancy characterized by hypertension complicated by cerebral, cardiac, hepatic, renal, hematologic, and placental dysfunction. Patients with preeclampsia frequently undergo cesarean delivery, the most common major surgical procedure in the world. They represent a high-risk perioperative cohort suffering significant preventable morbidity and mortality.
