Why the study?
Does 500 mL of 6% hetastarch solution reduce the incidence of hypotension compared to 1000 mL of lactated Ringer's solution in women undergoing postpartum tubal ligation under spinal anesthesia?
Does 500 mL of 6% hetastarch solution reduce the incidence of hypotension compared to 1000 mL of lactated Ringer's solution in women undergoing postpartum tubal ligation under spinal anesthesia?
Preloading with 500 mL of 6% hetastarch is more effective than 1000 mL of lactated Ringer's solution in preventing hypotension during spinal anesthesia for postpartum tubal ligation.
