The orthostatic hypotension drugs market analysis considers sale from midodrine, northera (droxidopa), fludrocortisone, and other drugs.
The aim of the present research was to determine (i) the diagnostic criteria for neonatal hypotension and (ii) management strategies for neonatal hypotension in South Africa.
The study variables were age, height, weight, blood pressure before the administration of spinal anesthesia, blood pressure 3 minutes after the administration of spinal anesthesia and hypotension.
We found no between-group difference in the incidence of spinal hypotension. In addition, maternal SBP during the first 20 min post-spinal anaesthesia was similar in both groups.
There was a decrease in pH in group 11 patients who received ephedrine as bolus dose for hypotension. This may be because of reduced uteroplacental perfusion from decreased maternal artery pressure or ephedrine induced uteroplacental vasoconstriction or by a direct foetal effect of ephedrine.
Hypotension, defined as a 30% drop in MAP, the most important predictor of morbidity (1), was seen in one patient of Group A and six patients of Group B.
In obstetric patients, increased intra-abdominal pressure results in more cephalad spread of local anaesthetic drug, thus causing higher incidence of complications such as hypotension.4,5 A number of strategies for preventing hypotension have been used, including lateral uterine displacement, intravenous (IV) fluid preload, gravity (Trendelenburg or leg raising), compression devices on the legs, and prophylactic vasopressors.6-8 Reducing dose of anaesthetic agent in these patients results in block level reduction and consequently less hypotension.
Our study was conducted to develop a nursing intervention that could prevent intradialytic hypotension by examining the effectiveness of elastic compression stockings on reducing intradialytic hypotension patients.
