Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Frequency of hypotension and bradycardia in three groupsTimepoint: Heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean blood pressure and SpO2 were recorded Pre-operatively, before subarachnoid injection, After subarachnoid injection every 2 min for 20 min and then every 5 min till the end of surgery and every 30 min for 3 hrs postoperatively.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Ephedrine required to maintain SBP, Atropine required to maintain HR,Frequency of nausea and vomiting and Neonatal APGAR score Timepoint: Ephedrine when SBP less than 100 mm of Hg, Atropine when HR less than 60 bpm, nausea and vomiting perioperatively and neonatal APGAR at 1,3,5 and 10 min.
