Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of phenylephrine versus ephedrine on
organ perfusion, in women undergoing caesarean section receiving spinal anaesthesia. The
organ perfusion is estimated by measuring the maternal cerebral oxygenation by
NIRS(Near-infrared spectroscopy)and the foetal heartrate.
