A number of strategies for preventing hypotension have been investigated, because it may have detrimental maternal and neonatal effects. The use of lateral uterine displacement is routine procedure to prevent hypotension (4). Other strategies have included the use of intravenous fluid preload, gravity (Trendelenburg or leg rising), compression devices on the legs, and prophylactic vasopressors (1). However, no methods have proved satisfactory. Ephedrine
