Protocol summary

Summary
In current double-blinded randomized clinical trial, we aim to compare effect of ephedrine and phenylephrine on arterial blood gas status and fetal APGAR (appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, respiration) in treatment of the epidural anesthesia induced hypotension in obese mothers undergo cesarean section. In current interventional study, among 120 patients candidate for elective cesarean section that will be divided two groups consisting 60 patients, frequency of hypotension incidence, duration of hypotension, number of vasopressor drugs injection and overall doses of administrated vasopressor drugs will be compared. In case of patients’ consent, obese women with single term pregnancy and candidate for cesarean section and epidural anesthesia enrolled study diabetic women and women suffering gestational hypertension or contraindications for epidural anesthesia excluded. Patients randomly assigned to two groups of the study designed for epidural anesthesia induced hypotension treatment by ephedrine or phenylephrine, using a software which provided sealed envelope method. In case of systolic blood pressure decrease to less than 90 mmHg or diminish to more than 30 percent of its baseline, subsequent to increase the intravenous fluid infusion speed, in phenylephrine group, 50 micrograms intravenous phenylephrine will be administrated up to 200 micrograms and in ephedrine group, 5-10 milligram intravenous ephedrine will be administrated up to 20 milligrams. Afterward, results of the umbilical artery blood gas analysis and neonates first and fifth minutes APGAR scores gathered and all data will be recorded in a questionnaire in order to compare values between groups.
