Hypotension following spinal anesthesia

Hypotension, also known as low blood pressure, is a common condition that may occur following spinal anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia involves the injection of a local anesthetic into the spinal column to provide temporary numbness and pain relief for surgical procedures. In some cases, this can lead to a drop in blood pressure. The product category is designed to help healthcare professionals and patients understand this condition and explore suitable treatment options to manage hypotension after spinal anesthesia. Typical medications used to treat hypotension in this context include intravenous fluid therapy and vasopressor drugs like phenylephrine, which help restore normal blood pressure. Consult with a healthcare professional before making any treatment decisions.
