a Comparison Between the Effects of Crystalloids and Colloids on Lung Ultrasound

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2023-03-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

This study is designed to compare the effect of crystalloids and colloids on lung ultrasound score in preeclapmtic pregnant cases undergoing spinal anesthesia for caesarean section

Objectives:

To identify ideal fluid in order to maintain proper intravascular volume in preeclamptic patients that allows organ perfusion without causing lung congestion or pulmonary edema

Hypothesis:

the investigators hypothesize that colloids are better than crystalloids in maintaining good intravascular volume without affecting lung ultrasound score.
