Randomized Controlled TrialThe effects of ephedrine on maternal hypothermia in caesarean sections: a double blind randomized clinical trial.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of bolus and the combination of bolus and infusion of ephedrine on maternal hypothermia which are used for treating maternal hypotension under spinal anaesthesia. ⋯ As a result, we found that combined bolus and infusion of ephedrine for treating maternal hypotension prevents maternal and neonatal hypothermia during caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia compared to bolus administrations alone.
