Abstract

When sub-arachnoid block is performed on preeclamptic mother, profound hypotension may occur. To maintain haemodynamic stability, patients can be preloaded with crystalloid or colloid solution. 60 pre-eclamptic pregnant mothers with ASA grade I & II were randomly divided into two equal groups by blind envelop method. In Group- A, patients were preloaded with Hartman's solutions @ 15ml/kg and in Group-B, with 6% Hetastarch @ 5ml/kg. The results of the study showed that hypotension was less in group-B (10%) than group-A (56.66%). Total additional volume of fluid required to treat hypotension was less in Group-B, (803.33ml) than Group-A (1526.66ml). Only three (3) cases of Group-B required ephedrine 0.83±2.65 mg) in comparison to 17 cases of Group- A (4.50±4.79 mg). So, it can be concluded that preloading of pre-eclamptic pregnant mothers with 6% Hetastarch is superior to Hartman's solution in caesarean section after sub-arachnoid block to maintain a stable haemodynamic status.

Key words: HES; Pre-eclampsia; Subarachnoid block
