Brief Summary

Maternal hypotension during spinal anaesthesia for Caesarean delivery may bring various adverse effects. It is therefore important to closely monitor hypotension during spinal anaesthesia, however current technology does not allow the blood pressure monitoring to respond in timely manner should there be any occurrence of hypotension. The investigators developed an advanced double-intravenous vasopressor automated system (ADIVA) so as to tackle this issue via novel algorithm to control blood pressure more rigorously with more stable haemodynamic profiles.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Vasopressor delivery automated system administering phenylephrine and ephedrine using a two-step algorithm vasopressor delivery technique

Drug: PhenylephrineDrug: EphedrineDevice: DIVA System

Interventions

Phenylephrine will be administered with conditions as below: 1. When systolic blood pressure is between 90-110% of baseline, 25mcg phenylephrine will be given either in infusion or bolus if heart rate ≥ 60 beats/min; 2. When systolic blood pressure is less than 90% of baseline, 25 to 75mcg phenylephrine will be given either in infusion or bolus if heart rate ≥ 60 beats/min.

Also known as: Vasopressor
ADIVA systemDIVA system

Ephedrine will be administered with conditions as below: 1. When systolic blood pressure is between 90-110% of baseline, 2mg ephedrine will be given either in infusion or bolus if heart rate \< 60 beats/min; 2. When systolic blood pressure is less than 90% of baseline, 2 to 6mg ephedrine will be given either in infusion or bolus if heart rate \< 60 beats/min.

Also known as: Vasopressor
ADIVA systemDIVA system

1. When systolic blood pressure (SBP) is 100-110% of baseline, 25mcg phenylephrine (infusion) is given if heart rate ≥ 60 beats/min, and 2mg ephedrine (infusion) is given if heart rate \< 60 beats/min; 2. When SBP is 90-100% of baseline, 25mcg phenylephrine (infusion or bolus) is given if heart rate ≥ 60 beats/min, and 2mg ephedrine (infusion or bolus) is given if heart rate \< 60 beats/min; 3. When SBP is 80-90% of baseline, 50mcg phenylephrine (infusion or bolus) is given if heart rate ≥ 60 beats/min, and 4mg ephedrine (infusion or bolus) is given if heart rate \< 60 beats/min; 4. When SBP \< 80% of baseline, 75mcg phenylephrine (infusion or bolus) is given if heart rate ≥ 60 beats/min, and 6mg ephedrine (infusion or bolus) is given if heart rate \< 60 beats/min.

ADIVA system

DIVA system works as below: 1. When systolic blood pressure is between 90 to 100% of baseline, 25mcg phenylephrine (bolus) will be given if heart rate ≥ 60 beats/min, whereas 2mg ephedrine (bolus) will be given if heart rate \< 60 beats/min; 2. When systolic blood pressure is less than 90% of baseline, 50mcg phenylephrine (infusion or bolus) will be given if heart rate ≥ 60 beats/min, whereas 4mg ephedrine (infusion or bolus) will be given if heart rate \< 60 beats/min.
