Subarachnoid Bupivacaine in Obese Patients Undergoing Cesarean Delivery

Summary

This study evaluates the effect of subarachnoid hyperbaric bupivacaine on mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) of pregnant patients with obesity undergoing cesarean section half of the patients will receive subarachnoid hyperbaric bupivacaine at a dose of 5 mg while the other half will receive a dose of 10 mg
