Crystalloids Versus Colloids Versus Hypertonic Saline as a Co-load During Spinal Anesthesia.

Spinal anesthesia is commonly accompanied by hypotension due to vasodilation that follows sympathetic blockade and decreased systemic vascular resistance. Prevention of hypotension is usually achieved through administration of fluids and vasopressors .There is an ongoing debate concerning both the proper fluid timing, pre-load against co-load and fluid type crystalloids against colloids .This study aims at comparing the effectiveness of co-loading of crystalloids versus colloids versus hypertonic saline 3% in preventing hypotension induced by spinal anesthesia.
