important. In an
editorial in this journal, Pandit [7] extended the ‘rule of threes’ to the case of one failure and highlighted how small studies with few failures can be misleading. Newman [8] presents a useful rule to estimate the two- tailed upper 95% confidence limit for 0–4 failures, which is slightly larger than the estimates presented here. We believe that easy-to- remember rules, while not exact, are important tools that clinicians can and should use either when reading the literature or when discussing new techniques with colleagues. The utility of the ‘rule of three-and- three-halves’ is not so much in its accuracy as in its easy application. It keeps the reader alert and skeptical as to the potential benefit of new technique (intubation, in our exam- ple). We believe that the addition of this rule can assist in this goal. It is easy to calculate, and in a limited setting, outperforms other estimates that are more difficult to calculate. This allows us to ask, with reference to Hanley and Lippman-Hand [1]: if only a little bit is wrong, how much is alright?

Hypotension remains a common side-effect, and can result in unpleasant symptoms in the mother and harm to the fetus [2]. Until fairly recently, ephedrine was the main vasopressor used for Anaesthesia 2015, 70, 241–257 Editorial 252 © 2015 The Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland

the treatment of
spinal hypotension. It became the first-line vasopressor following findings from early stud- ies on pregnant ewes that recom- mended it over metaraminol and other a-adrenoreceptor agonists, as it was associated with less reduction in uterine blood flow [3]. An early dose-response study performed by Ngan Kee et al. investigated its use in 80 patients undergoing spinal anaesthesia for elective caesarean section. Patients received either a saline control or 10, 20 or 30 mg of prophylactic intravenous ephedrine. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) after spinal anaesthesia was significantly higher for the 30-mg group compared with other groups. More importantly, however, the proportion of patients found to have an umbilical arterial pH < 7.2 was 11%, 25%, 42% and 22%, in the control, 10-mg, 20-mg, and 30-mg groups, respec- tively. These findings suggested that although blood pressure control was better with ephedrine than without, there was no improvement in neo- natal outcome [4]. These concerns prompted the search for a safer vasopressor for use during spinal anaesthesia for caesar- ean section. Vasopressors with more a-agonist activity had traditionally been considered to be for second- line use only, because of concerns raised from animal studies. Work with human parturients, however, has since shown that both phenyl- ephrine [5] and metaraminol [6] infusions result in improved fetal acid-base status compared with ephedrine. Subsequently, phenyleph- rine emerged as the vasopressor of choice on the labour ward, as it was more easily available to early investi- gators and as a result used more widely than metaraminol [7]. A randomised, double-blind study performed by Cooper et al. compared three groups of pati- ents undergoing elective caesarean section, receiving infusions of phenylephrine 100 lg.mlÀ1 , ephed- rine 3 mg.mlÀ1 , or phenylephrine 50 lg.mlÀ1 in combination with ephedrine 3 mg.mlÀ1 . They found a lower incidence of fetal acidosis in the groups receiving phenylephrine alone or in combination with ephedrine [5]. Subsequently, Ngan Kee and Lee performed a multiple linear regression analysis on 337 consecutive caesarean sections under spinal anaesthesia, investigat- ing different factors that may pre- dict uterine arterial pH and base excess. The use of ephedrine was a significant factor predicting adverse changes in both pH and base excess, and the authors concluded that in order to minimise the risk of fetal acidosis, ephedrine should not be used before delivery, and that a-agonists should be used to minimise spinal hypotension [8]. The same group went on to perform a complex study investigat- ing the effect of varying different proportions of vasopressors when used in combination. One hundred and twenty-five parturients under- going spinal anaesthesia for caesar- ean section were randomly assigned to receive 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% or 0% phenylephrine with 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% ephedrine, respectively. Infusions were adjusted to maintain SBP close to baseline. They found that as the proportion of phenylephrine decreased and the proportion of ephedrine incre- ased, haemodynamic control was reduced, and fetal acid-base status was less favourable [9]. A recent meta-analysis of vasopressor use during elective caesarean section, by Veeser et al, collated data from 20 trials (n = 1069), finding the rela- tive risk for true fetal acidosis to be 5.29 for ephedrine versus phenyl- ephrine [10]. Following such compelling evi- dence, the use of ephedrine has all but disappeared and phenylephrine has become firmly established as the vasopressor of choice, for both prophylaxis and treatment of spinal hypotension in obstetrics. However, research continues in order to opti- mise and refine its administration. Areas studied have included: how phenylephrine could best be admin- istered; whether it should be used proactively (prophylactically) or reactively (only when spinal hypotension has occurred); whether continuous infusions are superior to bolus administration; and the appropriate dose or doses required to avoid unwanted side-effects such as reactive hypertension and brady- cardia. A meta-analysis looking at the use of prophylactic phenylephrine for caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia [11] concluded that a continuous infusion (proactive treatment) started immediately after initiation of spinal anaesthesia sig- nificantly reduced the incidence of spinal hypotension compared with bolus doses given only in response to a fall in SBP (reactive treatment). Prophylactic administration of phenylephrine has been regarded by some as being too aggressive, due Editorial Anaesthesia 2015, 70, 241–257 © 2015 The Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland 253

to its ability
to cause reactive hyper- tension and associated bradycardia [12]. In the meta-analysis described above [11], the risk of reactive hypertension did not differ between prophylactic and reactive regimens, but this result was based on only three studies with a total of 241 patients. The risk of bradycardia was also similar between groups, but again this was based on only small numbers. These results might suggest that there is a paucity of evidence in this area, rather than an absence of an association between phenylephrine and hypertension. However, in the absence of such evidence, prophylactic (proactive) treatment would appear to be pref- erable, as delaying the start of a prophylactic phenylephrine infusion could limit its efficacy in reducing the incidence of hypotension. Most studies have compared prophylactic phenylephrine infu- sions with reactive phenylephrine boluses. There are only limited data comparing prophylactic phenyleph- rine infusions with prophylactic bolus doses. Das Neves et al. com- pared a prophylactic phenyleph- rine infusion running at 0.15 lg.kgÀ1 .minÀ1 with a prophylactic bolus dose of 50 lg phenylephrine given immediately after spinal injec- tion; a third group received the vasopressor only when SBP had dropped. The continuous infusion group had the least incidence of hypotension (18%), nausea (10%), and vomiting (0%) compared with the prophylactic bolus (respectively 33%, 15% and 8%) and therapeutic bolus (respectively 85%, 40% and 13%) groups [13]. The higher inci- dence of hypotension, nausea and vomiting in the prophylactic bolus group may have been because the bolus dose used in the study was small. A study by George et al. [14] found the ED90 of phenylephrine required for the treatment of spinal anaesthesia-induced hypotension to be 150 lg. The ED95 of phenyleph- rine, found by Tanaka et al. [15], was 159 lg, and the dose to prevent pre-delivery spinal-induced hypo- tension and nausea at elective caesarean section was 120 lg. Addi- tionally, in the study by das Neves et al., spinal anaesthesia was achieved with only 10 mg bupiva- caine [13]. These findings support the view that a continuous infusion is superior to bolus administration. A further area to consider is whether phenylephrine, when given by infusion compared with manual bolus administration, can reduce the workload of the attending an- aesthetist. Manual bolus doses of a vasopressor to treat hypotension or symptoms of nausea and vomiting certainly can occupy the anaesthe- tist’s attention. A recent study achieved a reduction in anaesthe- tists’ workload by adhering to an algorithm adjusting the infusion rate of a prophylactic phenylephrine infusion according to changes in blood pressure and heart rate [16]. Another yet unresolved issue is the ideal infusion regimen that will control the maternal blood pressure, with minimal maternal side-effects, while avoiding maternal hyperten- sion. Ngan Kee and colleagues con- ducted their studies infusing phenylephrine at 100 lg.minÀ1 . In one, phenylephrine was infused at 100 lg.minÀ1 for 3 min following spinal anaesthesia, after which par- turients were randomly allocated into two groups. In one, phenyleph- rine 100 lg.minÀ1 was infused when the SBP fell below baseline, and this was stopped only if SBP exceeded 120% of baseline. A con- trol group received 100-lg intrave- nous boluses of phenylephrine after each episode of SBP < 80% of base- line. The infusion group had a reduced incidence of hypotension (23%) compared with the control group (88%). However, hyperten- sion (SBP > 120% of baseline) occurred in 38% of patients in the infusion group compared with only 8% in the control group [17]. In the second study by the same group, an infusion of phenylephrine 100 lg.minÀ1 was started immedi- ately after completion of the intra- thecal injection, and was continued for the first 2 min unless SBP exceeded 120% of baseline, in which case it was stopped. After this, the infusion was continued if SBP was less than or equal to baseline, and stopped once it went above base- line. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups depending on the crystalloid infusion received, either a rapid infusion (co-hydra- tion or co-load) group or a minimal maintenance group. Total phenyl- ephrine consumption was lower in the group receiving co-hydration, and hypertension (SBP > 120% of baseline) occurred in almost 50% of patients in both groups [18]. Other groups have studied differ- ent infusion regimens of phenyleph- rine ranging from 25 to 100 lg.minÀ1 . Studies by Stewart et al. [19] and Allen et al. [20] both sug- gested that compared with higher doses, 25–50 lg.minÀ1 offers the Anaesthesia 2015, 70, 241–257 Editorial 254 © 2015 The Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland

most favourable risk/benefit
profile, i.e. the lowest rates of both hypoten- sion and hypertension. Nevertheless, there were two problems with these regimens. First, the need for interven- tions by the anaesthetist remained high and additional boluses of vaso- pressor were still necessary in a high proportion of the patients (40%, 20% and 12% in the 25-lg.minÀ1 , 50- lg.minÀ1 and 100-lg.minÀ1 groups, respectively) [19]. Second, the effect of such rigid haemodynamic control had little beneficial effect on maternal or fetal outcome. The concept of crystalloid co- hydration/co-load and vasopressor use during elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia has been a subject of recent interest. Dyer et al. compared crystalloid preload with rapid crystalloid administration after induction of spinal anaesthesia (co- load), finding that coload provided better maternal blood pressure con- trol before delivery [21]. A recent review by Ngan Kee further sup- ported its use in the prevention of maternal hypotension after regional anaesthesia [22]. Ngan Kee and colleagues further investigated phenylephrine infusions and the optimal blood pressure to which it should be titrated. They randomly allocated parturients to three groups, infusing phenylephrine at 100 lg.minÀ1 to maintain SBP at 100%, 90% or 80% of baseline. Although patients maintained at 100% of baseline had fewer episodes of hypotension, total doses were higher (1520 lg compared with 1070 lg and 790 lg, respectively). Although higher in the 100% group, umbilical artery pH was always > 7.2. The authors concluded that for optimal management, phen- ylephrine should be titrated to main- tain SBP at near-normal levels. In contrast to their earlier work, high doses of phenylephrine, titrated to 100% baseline, were not associated with maternal hypertension (SBP 120% of baseline) [23]. Recent studies have incorpo- rated non-invasive and minimally- invasive cardiac output monitoring during spinal anaesthesia for caesar- ean section, providing additional insight into the pathophysiology of spinal hypotension in healthy par- turients. Both Langesaeter et al. [24] and Dyer et al. [25] used the Lid- COplus, the latter group also using transthoracic bioimpedence. Lang- esaeter et al. used cardiac output monitoring to assess maternal hae- modynamic stability in patients receiving high- or low-dose spinal anaesthesia, with or without a con- comitant phenylephrine infusion. There was greater haemodynamic stability in patients receiving low- dose spinal anaesthesia combined with a phenylephrine infusion. Dyer et al. compared the effects of phen- ylephrine and ephedrine boluses on maternal cardiac output. They found that phenylephrine reduced mater- nal cardiac output compared with ephedrine, and that the fall in car- diac output correlated well with maternal heart rate changes. Stewart et al., using a suprasternal Doppler measurement of cardiac output, found that phenylephrine infusions were associated with a dose-depen- dent reduction of both heart rate and cardiac output, although no adverse effects on the fetus were seen [21]. It would seem therefore that the ideal infusion dose would be one that maintained maternal haemodynamic stability to near baseline, without compromising maternal cardiac output, and current evidence suggests a dose of between 25 and 50 lg.min1 . So what else is on the horizon? Closed-loop systems have emerged recently, integrating blood pressure recordings with an infusion pump that responds according to a pro- grammed algorithm, by altering the administration of vasopressor. Sia et al. [26] developed a ‘smart’ system that, when SBP fell below 90% of baseline, administered a 50-lg bolus of phenylephrine; when hypotension occurred with bradycardia, ephed- rine was infused. Blood pressure cycling was set at 15 s using a con- tinuous non-invasive technique. No additional vasopressor had to be given by the attending anaes- thetist. Ngan Kee et al. compared a computer-based system, infus- ing 0-100 lg.min1 phenylephrine depending on SBP, with a fixed infu- sion of 100 lg.min1 phenylephrine that was manually run when SBP fell below baseline, and stopped once SBP (measured at 1-min intervals) exceeded baseline. There were no differences in the incidence of hypo- tension, hypertension, nausea or vomiting. Only the number of interventions – including starting, stopping, adjusting the computer program or syringe pump, and man- ual boluses – was different between the groups (median of two in the computer-controlled group and 10 in the manual group) [27]. Other vasopressors are being investigated for prophylaxis and treatment of spinal hypotension.

(randomised evaluative study
of phenylephrine or noradrenaline for maintenance of blood pressure), 104 healthy women undergoing elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia were randomly allocated to receive an infusion of phenylephrine 100 lg.min1 or nor- adrenaline 5 lg.min1 to maintain maternal blood pressure. The inci- dence of hypo-/hypertension and nausea/vomiting was low and simi- lar between the groups. Heart rate and cardiac output were greater over time in the noradrenaline group, as were umbilical venous pH and oxygen content, attributed to greater uteroplacental blood flow. The authors raised the idea that noradrenaline (because of its intrin- sic b-agonist activity) may be a bet- ter obstetric vasopressor than phenylephrine, and recommended further work in this area [28]. Use of vasopressors for the treatment and prevention of spinal hypotension has grown in popular- ity in recent years [29]. Ephedrine has largely been superseded by phenylephrine, as the evidence sug- gests that the former can cause harm to the fetus. We have moved away from a reactive approach (bolus administration once spinal hypotension has occurred) to a more proactive approach, with the advent of phenylephrine infusions. Moreover, we are aiming to limit the amount of vasopressor used to avoid unwanted side-effects such as bradycardia. The ideal vasopressor regimen should allow careful titration to each individual parturient’s needs, according to changes in haemo- dynamic parameters, whilst avoiding excessive demands on the anaesthe- tist’s time. Integrated closed-loop systems with carefully programmed algorithms, as used by Sia et al., seem to come closest to achieving such a goal [25]. In the absence of such technology, phenylephrine should be administered as a pro- phylactic infusion at a dose that prevents maternal hypotension but avoids a significant reduction in maternal heart rate and cardiac output; the literature supports a rate of 25-50 lg.minÀ1 phenylephrine, titrated to maintain maternal SBP > 80% of baseline, while avoiding maternal hypertension. As for the future: it will be some time before we see routine cardiac output monitoring during elective caesarean section, and it is currently reserved for the manage- ment of high-risk parturients, or for research purposes. More work needs to be done investigating the use of noradrenaline infusions for spinal hypotension, and any poten- tial for it to cause maternal or fetal harm, before its use becomes more widespread. Finally, the concept of computer-programmed algorithms could be achievable, if it could be shown to be cost-effective. Competing interests No external funding and no competing interests declared. M.
