Randomized Controlled Trial
Neonatal outcomes following prophylactic administration of phenylephrine or noradrenaline in women undergoing scheduled caesarean delivery: A randomised clinical trial.
There is limited evidence to support the use of noradrenaline over phenylephrine during elective caesarean section with regards to its impact on foetal acidosis. Concerns regarding a deleterious effect of noradrenaline on foetal blood gas analysis because of its β-mimetic activity cannot currently be ruled out by data from randomised controlled trials. ⋯ CTRI/2020/03/023986.
