Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Incidence of hypotension between two groupsTimepoint: Blood pressure (BP) will be measured at 2 min intervals beginning immediately after spinal injection till baby delivery and at 5 minutes interval after baby delivery for 60 minutes.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The frequency of administering 3 mg bolus of Inj. Mephentermine between two groupsTimepoint: Post spinal hypotension (defined as drop in systolic blood pressure more than 20% from baseline) will be treated with 3 mg of Inj.Mephentermine. This will be repeated after every BP recording until systolic blood pressure returns to baseline value.
