Phenylephrine (PE) has been taking over recently as the drug of choice in treating hypotension during CS. This followed a study that showed better Apgar scores in babies born from women who had PE compared to those who had ephedrine. However care should be taken during the use of PE as severe reflex bradycardia that needs treatment may occur.

phenylephrine is best , cause it doen't affect the heart rate

If the patient is tachycardic , it's better to give phenyl ephedrine , if not then ephedrine ..

phenylephrine is the new molecule used to regulate hypotension during cesarean section; but at the same time she used in combination with ephedrine infusion
