Pre-Operative Ondansetron Vs. Metoclopramide for Prevention of PostOperative Nausea and Vomiting in Elective Lower-Segment Caesarean Section Under Spinal Anaesthesia
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Post Operative Nausea Vomiting (PONV) is the most unpleasant and distressing consequence in the immediate post-operative period . PONV can delay discharge and may result in unplanned over night hospital admissions. Antiemetic drugs play an important role in therapy of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Though many drugs have been tried as prophylaxis and treatment of PONV, no drug has been proved significantly effective and hence, the present study was undertaken to compare the efficacy and safety of IV metoclopramide and IV Ondansetron as prophylaxis for postoperative nausea and vomiting in lowersegment caesarean section (LSCS) under spinal anaesthesia.
