Overview

Supports phenylephrine preference in obstetric neuraxial anesthesia; leaves open need for direct RCTs on neonatal outcomes.

Structured PICO

What is the preferred vasopressor for counteracting hypotension after neuraxial anesthesia in obstetrics?

P
Population
Pregnant women undergoing neuraxial anesthesia in obstetrics (including emergency and high-risk Cesarean sections)
I
Intervention
Vasopressors (phenylephrine, mephentermine, metaraminol, ephedrine)
O
Outcome
Counteracting hypotension and fetal acid-base statussurrogate

Phenylephrine is currently the preferred vasopressor for treating hypotension during obstetric neuraxial anesthesia due to its favorable fetal acid-base profile.
