Brief summary: The objective of this study is to investigate the ED90 of norepinephrine and phenylephrine boluses for treating postspinal anesthesia hypotension under intensive treatment during cesarean section

Detailed description: Post-spinal anesthesia hypotension is a frequent complication during spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. The incidence of post-spinal anesthesia hypotension is as high as 62.1-89.7% if prophylactic measures are not taken. The 2016 ASA guidelines for obstetric anesthesia suggest avoiding hypotension following spinal anesthesia in women and emphasize the use of vasopressors, specifically alpha-receptor agonists, as the preferred strategy to prevent and manage post-spinal anesthesia hypotension. The 2018 International Consensus in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland recommends maintaining maternal systolic blood pressure above 90% of the baseline value following lumbar anesthesia, while avoiding dropping below 80% of the baseline value. Currently, the threshold for maintaining blood pressure above 80% of the baseline value is widely adopted as a standard; however, limited evidence supports the advantage of sustaining maternal blood pressure above 90% of the baseline value. The objective of this study is to investigate the ED90 of norepinephrine and phenylephrine boluses for treating postspinal anesthesia hypotension under intensive treatment during cesarean section
