Hemodynamics of Phenylephrine Infusion Versus Lower Extremity Compression During Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery

Abstract: An initial bolus of phenylephrine followed by a low-dose phenylephrine infusion was superior to leg wrapping and no intervention for the prevention of hypotension during spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. Phenylephrine prevented hypotension primarily by restoring systemic vascular resistance and did not cause hypertension or a clinically relevant reduction in cardiac output. Leg wrapping prevented hypotension compared with no intervention by limiting modest early spinal anesthesia-mediated venodilation.

“…The primary effect of spinal anaesthesia in a healthy woman is a decrease in systemic vascular resistance secondary to small artery vasodilation , with a modest degree of venodilation . There is a compensatory baroreceptor‐mediated increase in heart rate and stroke volume, which increases cardiac output .…”

“…Other measures to prevent or treat hypotension and haemodynamic instability include methods to reduce inferior vena cava compression and venous pooling in the legs, as well as intravascular fluid loading . Once the woman is positioned supine for surgery, left uterine displacement is routinely used to reduce inferior vena cava compression, with a recommended angle of 15° .…”

“…Several studies have been performed using invasive and non‐invasive devices during Cesarean section, but none has compared a non‐invasive device to the current clinical standard of monitoring maternal hemodynamic parameters during high‐risk Cesarean section. Furthermore, most published studies have relied on percentage error or difference to evaluate or compare monitors, even though such a comparison is inappropriate when a gold‐standard invasive monitoring method is lacking.…”

“…Administration of a rescue bolus was repeated at 1-minute intervals if hypotension persisted. We didn't stop the treatment until hypotension improves or tends to improve [14,15] . Reactive hypertension, defined as an increase in SBP to ≥ 20% above the baseline, was treated by stopping the infusion of methoxamine.…”
