About this trial

The routine assessment of fluid status depends on clinical evaluation and invasive monitoring. The clinical assessment lacks objectivity and the invasive monitoring carries risks. Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) parameters can be useful as early markers of fluid status and were used in safe fluid assessment in term pregnancy and preeclampsia.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Critically ill pre-eclamptic patients for cesarean section

severe cardiovascular disease ( ejection fraction < 40 mmHg ), tricuspid regurge.

failure to perform spinal anesthesia.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • fluid therapy, 300 ml of crystalloid Ringer's solution.

    Other intervention

    300 ml by dripping within 30 minutes, the fluid will be repeated by half the amount if needed to reach equal or less than 50% collapsibility. the fluid that will be used is sterile Ringer's solution which is an isotonic intravenous solution with pH 5.0 - 7.5 and an osmolality of 308mOsmol/kg.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

post-spinal hypotension

post-spinal anesthesia and early intraoperative (0-20 min) hypotension (MAP \< 65 mmHg and/or ≥ 20% decrease from baseline. Measured by the occurrence or not of hypotension. The aggregation method will be according to the distribution of data if normal mean and SD will be used.

Time frame
20 minutes after the spinal anesthesia injection

Secondary outcomes

1

occurrence of complication

occurrence of any complications such as pulmonary edema, need for intraoperative vasopressors.

Time frame
from spinal anesthesia till the delivery of the fetus, or within 30 minutes postspinal which comes first
