Conditions
Brief summary
hypotension is a common occurance in parturients undergoing cesarean section with spinal anesthesia. several modalities have been tested to prevent or decrease the degree of hypotension in paturients during cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. In the recent studies, coloading with crystalloids is reported to be superior than preloading with crystalloids. The current study is conducted to determine the effect of isothermic coloading with crystalloid fluid on maternal vital signs and fetal apgar scores.
Interventions
pregnant patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia will be randomly allocated into two groups. Control group will be hydrated with single dose 15ml/kg of intravenous crystalloid solution at room temperature and study group will be hydrated with single dose 15ml/kg of intravenous crystalloid solution at body temperature (37 degrees celsius) by the anesthesia nurse of the operation room following administration of spinal anesthesia (following the removal of spinal needle in 5 minutes). The temperature of the infusion fluid will be kept constant using a warming device.
