Abstract
Thirty-six patients who presented for transurethral prostatic resectio n were allocated randomly to one of two groups. Patients in group A we re given methoxamine 10 mg i.m., 15 min before spinal anaesthesia. Pat ients in group B acted as a control group. All patients received spina l anaesthesia. Preoperative administration of methoxamine 10 mg i.m. d ecreased blood loss significantly and improved haemodynamic stability compared with the control group.
