Combined Colloids And Crystalloids Versus Crystalloids in Women With Preeclampsia Undergoing Cesarean Delivery Under Spinal Anesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study will compare between combination of colloids/crystalloids and crystalloids in women with preeclampsia undergoing elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia

Detailed Description

This randomized, controlled, double blind study will be conducted on women with preeclampsia with singleton pregnancy undergoing elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. Immediately, after spinal anesthesia administration, patients will receive either 250 mL colloid over 5 minutes followed by 500 mL crystalloid over 55 minutes then 250 mL colloid over 60 minutes (Combination group) or 250 mL crystalloid over 5 minutes followed by 500 mL over 55 minutes then 250 mL over 60 minutes (Crystalloid group). The studied maternal outcomes will be the urine output, ephedrine requirement, incidence of hypotension, inferior vena cava diameters, nausea/vomiting and bradycardia. Neonatal Apgar scores will be recorded at 1 and 5 minutes post-delivery.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Combination
250 mL colloid over 5 minutes followed by 500 mL crystalloid over 55 minutes then 250 mL colloid over 60 minutes. Cesarean delivery performed under spinal anesthesia (intrathecal bupivacaine 12.5 mg and intrathecal fentanyl 15 μg). Ultrasound assessment of the Inferior vena cava diameter. Intravenous ephedrine and intravenous syntocinon will be administered.
Bupivacaine 12.5 mg (2.5 mL 0.5%) will be administered in the subarachnoid space
Fentanyl 15 μg will be administered in the subarachnoid space
Performed at the L3-L4 or L4-L5 interspace using 27- or 25-gauge spinal needle
Lower segment cesarean section using the Pfannenstiel incision
The inferior vena cava largest and smallest diameters will be measured proximal to the opening of the hepatic veins in the longitudinal axis with the M-mode using a 8-2 MHz curved array ultrasound probe placed longitudinally in the subcostal region
6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 in 0.9% sodium chloride (voluven®) 250 mL will be administered over 5 minutes starting immediately after intrathecal injection
Ringer acetate 500 mL will be administered over 55 minutes following colloid or crystalloid administration
After 60 minutes of intrathecal injection, 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 in 0.9% sodium chloride (voluven®) 250 mL will be administered over 60 minutes
Intravenous ephedrine 3, 5, and 10 mg will be administered when Systolic blood pressure decreases below 120, 110, and 90 mmHg, respectively.
Immediately after delivery, syntocinon 10 IU will be added to the running crystalloid solution
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Crystalloid
250 mL crystalloid over 5 minutes followed by 500 mL crystalloid over 55 minutes then 250 mL crystalloid over 60 minutes.
