vasopressor of choice but can cause bradycardia. Norepinephrine has both β-and α-

hypothesized that norepinephrine would be superior to phenylephrine, requiring fewer
rescue bolus interventions to maintain blood pressure. Methods Eighty-five parturients
having spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean delivery were randomized to Group P …
