Combining pharmacological methods such as norepinephrine infusion, ondansetron and non-pharmacological methods in delayed supine positioning better impacts the maternal haemodynamic profile. The present study assessed the benefits and adverse effects of combining pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods in hypotension prophylaxis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This randomised controlled trial was conducted at Cairo University Hospital's obstetric theatre from January to October 2020. The study included 85 parturients who were randomised to two groups. Group Sitting was left seated for 2 min after injection, and Group Control was made to lie down in the supine position immediately after the subarachnoid block. Both groups received prophylactic intravenous norepinephrine infusion, in addition to an ondansetron bolus, before surgery. Patients' systolic blood pressure (SBP) from intrathecal injection until delivery of the foetus, was documented.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The Sitting group's SBP (122 (14) mmHg) till delivery was statistically higher than the Control group's readings (114 (10) mmHg) (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.004). The Sitting group's intraoperative SBP values were often greater than the Control group values. In addition, the Sitting group had a reduced hypotension incidence and a lower rate of ephedrine use than the other group, but bradycardia incidence was comparable between both groups.\n
