Abstract
Background: Phenylephrine (PE) is one of the vasopressor used to treat hypotension during anaesthesia. The primary aim of this study was to compare the effect of prophylactic infusion and rescue bolus of PE on the haemodynamic changes during spinal anaesthesia (SA) for Caesarean section (CS) in obese parturients.
Methods: A total of 74 obese parturients scheduled for elective CS under SA were randomised into two groups; Group A (n = 37) received prophylactic PE infusion starting at 50 μg min-1 and adjusted according to the given algorithm and Group B (n = 37) received 100 μg PE bolus to treat hypotension. The measured parameters were systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), the total requirement of PE and neonatal Apgar score.
Results: Six patients were excluded from the analysis due to missing data and only 68 were analysed. Group A showed significantly higher SBP, DBP and MAP than Group B (P < 0.05). The requirement of PE was higher in Group A than Group B [817.7 (265.7) μg versus 360.6 (156.0) μg; P = < 0.05]. Both groups had no difference in terms of the neonatal Apgar score.
Conclusion: Prophylactic PE infusion provided better haemodynamic control than therapeutic boluses in obese parturients undergoing CS under SA.

The Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences (MJMS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access, fully online journal that is published at least six times a year. The journal’s scope encompasses all aspects of medical sciences including biomedical, allied health, clinical and social sciences. We accept high quality papers from basic to translational research especially from low & middle income countries, as classified by the United Nations & World Bank (https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/ articles/906519), with the aim that published research will benefit back the bottom billion population from these countries. Manuscripts submitted from developed or high income countries to MJMS must contain data and information that will benefit the socio-health and bio-medical sciences of these low and middle income countries. The MJMS editorial board consists of internationally regarded clinicians and scientists from low and middle income countries.
