Study aim
-
Overall Objective: To determine the effect of intravenous midazolam on maternal hemodynamic status and neonatal Apgar score in cesarean section under spinal anesthesia
-
Design
-
A controlled, parallel-group, single-blind, randomized, phase 2-3 clinical trial on 108 patients.
-
Settings and conduct
-
After obtaining the approval of the ethics committee, all patients who are candidates for cesarean surgery with spinal anesthesia in Bahlul Gonabadi Hospital will be selected based on the entry criteria. Patients do not know what intervention is being done on them and in which group they are.
One group will be injected with midazolam 10 minutes before the start of spinal anesthesia, and the control group will receive conventional treatment. The hemodynamic status of patients in two groups will be monitored during the operation and will be recorded every 5 minutes. After the birth of the baby, Apgar 1 and 5 minutes of the baby will be examined and recorded.
The method of performing spinal anesthesia will be the same for all research units. Serum therapy will be the same in all patients.

Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Entry conditions: pregnant patient candidate for caesarean section with spinal anesthesia, mother's consent, anesthesia class 1 and 2, body mass index less than 35, age range 18 to 45 years, absence of fetal distress.
Conditions of non-entry: unfavorable condition of the fetus during pregnancy (fetal distress), severe systemic disease, high blood pressure during pregnancy, emergency caesarean section, presence of any abnormality in the fetus.
-
Intervention groups
-
Intervention group: Midazolam will be injected 10 minutes before the start of spinal anesthesia.
Control group: will receive the usual treatment, which means they will receive midazolam after the baby is born.
