During caesarean section blood pressure was slightly higher in the phenylephrine group compared with the Akrinor group, while hypotension &lt;100\u2009mm Hg systolic blood pressure (SBP) occurred significantly more often during arrival at the IMC after surgery when phenylephrine was used. Heart rate was lower and rescue medication was significantly more frequently given in the phenylephrine cohort. Irrespective of the medication used, women with baseline levels of &lt;120\u2009mm Hg SBP had a high risk to develop hypotension &lt;100\u2009mm Hg after spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section. While there was no statistical difference in mean umbilical arterial pH levels, the incidence of acidosis, defined as pH &lt;7.2, was significantly higher with phenylephrine.<\/jats:p>\n
