Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of different 6% hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) coload volumes on the 90% effective dose of norepinephrine infusion prophylaxis for hypotension during spinal anesthesia for cesarean section.

Detailed description

Post-spinal anesthesia hypotension is a frequent complication during spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. The incidence of post-spinal anesthesia hypotension is as high as 62.1-89.7% if prophylactic measures are not taken. Coload has been highly demonstrated for prevention and/or treatment of post-spinal anesthesia hypotension. In addition, there's some evidence that prophylactic infusion of norepinephrine could effectively reduce the incidence of post-spinal anesthesia hypotension in parturients undergoing cesarean section. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of different 6% hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) coload volumes on the 90% effective dose of norepinephrine infusion prophylaxis for hypotension during spinal anesthesia for cesarean section.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Hydroxyethyl starch coload - 0 ml/kg	No fluid coload was given. An initial infusion dose of prophylactic norepinephrine (0.025 ug/kg/min) simultaneous with spinal anesthesia. The dose administered to subsequent patients varied by increments or decrements of 0.005 ug/kg/min of prophylactic norepinephrine according to the responses of previous patients according to the up-down sequential allocation.
DRUG	Hydroxyethyl starch coload - 5 ml/kg	5 ml/kg 6% Hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) coload combined with an initial infusion dose of prophylactic norepinephrine (0.025 ug/kg/min) simultaneous with spinal anesthesia. The dose administered to subsequent patients varied by increments or decrements of 0.005 ug/kg/min of prophylactic norepinephrine according to the responses of previous patients according to the up-down sequential allocation.
DRUG	Hydroxyethyl starch coload - 10 ml/kg	10 ml/kg 6% Hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) coload combined with an initial infusion dose of prophylactic norepinephrine (0.025 ug/kg/min) simultaneous with spinal anesthesia. The dose administered to subsequent patients varied by increments or decrements of 0.005 ug/kg/min of prophylactic norepinephrine according to the responses of previous patients according to the up-down sequential allocation.
