A Study Comparing Two Spinal Techniques for for Cesarean Delivery Anesthesia
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT00990574
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to compare single shot versus sequential bolus spinal technique
via a catheter in patients undergoing Cesarean Section. We aim to determine which technique
results in less blood pressure reduction and subsequent vasopressor use.
Other study endpoints include the incidence of maternal post dural puncture headaches and
nausea and vomiting. In addition blood and CSF will be collected to see if biochemical
mediators are related to wound hyperalgesia and healing.
