Summary

Spinal anesthesia is a widely chosen technique in obstetric theaters due to several advantages, however sympathetic block results in hypotension that carry several consequences on maternal and fetal health, thus early prediction and management takes high priority. in this regards recent recommendations suggest the use of prophylactic vasopressors like noradrenaline, researchers of this study aimed to explore the impact of leg elevation on prophylactic noradrenaline dose

Detailed description

after spinal anesthesia, patients will be randomly allocated into 2 groups : Leg elevation group and control group. noradrenaline will be used as variable infusion starting from 0.05 microgram/kg/min up to 0.14 microgram /kg/minute. noradrenaline infusion will be continued till delivery of the baby

Conditions

• Spinal Hypotension
• Hypoperfusion

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Leg elevation	leg will be raised 30 degrees after spinal anesthesia using standardized pillow
