TLDR
During hypotension resulting from conduction anesthesia in gravid ewes, uterine blood flow (UBF) decreased roughly in proportion to the decrease in maternal blood pressure and the UBF response was variable, generally increasing but frequently remaining constant or decreasing.Abstract:
During hypotension resulting from conduction anesthesia in gravid ewes, uterine blood flow (UBF) decreased roughly in proportion to the decrease in maternal blood pressure. Ephedrine or mephentermine significantly increased UBF over that accomplished by metaraminol. Presumably, the preferential efferead more

A quantitative, systematic review of randomized controlled trials of ephedrine versus phenylephrine for the management of hypotension during spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery.
TL;DR: This systematic review does not support the traditional idea that ephedrine is the preferred choice for the management of maternal hypotension during spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean delivery in healthy, nonlaboring women.

TL;DR: Giving phenylephrine alone by infusion at cesarean delivery was associated with a lower incidence of fetal acidosis and maternal nausea and vomiting than giving ephe-drine alone and there was no advantage to combiningphenylephrine and ephedrine.

Prevention of Hypotension during Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean DeliveryAn Effective Technique Using Combination Phenylephrine Infusion and Crystalloid Cohydration
TL;DR: Combination of a high-dose phenylephrine infusion and rapid crystalloid cohydration is the first technique to be described that is effective for preventing hypotension during spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of phenylephrine infusion regimens for maintaining maternal blood pressure during spinal anaesthesia for Caesarean section
TL;DR: For optimal management, phenylephrine should be titrated to maintain maternal BP at near-baseline values.

Prophylactic Phenylephrine Infusion for Preventing Hypotension During Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery
TL;DR: Prophylactic phenylephrine infusion is a simple, safe, and effective method of maintaining arterial blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery.
