Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To maintain maternal systolic and diastolic blood pressure in term parturients during spinal anaesthesia.Timepoint: The study infusion medication is started at the same time cerebrospinal fluid was obtained, immediately before injection of spinal medications. Blood pressure measured every minute from the start of study medication infusion till the baby delivery.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Nausea and vomitingTimepoint: intraoperative time;Apgar scoreTimepoint: at 1st and 5th minute of life;fetal heart rateTimepoint: at 5th minute of life;Maternal heart rateTimepoint: Every minute, from the time of start of infusion medication till the baby delivery.;perfusion indexTimepoint: every minute,from start of study medication infusion till the time of baby delivery;rescue boluses usedTimepoint: When blood pressure and heart rate falls below 20 percent of baseline values.;umblical cord blood analysisTimepoint: cord blood sample will be withdrawn just before delayed cord clamping.
