Comparing sugar water and salt water to reduce nausea after gynecologic surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of fluids — dextrose (sugar water) versus saline (salt water) — to see if they reduce nausea and vomiting after surgery. All participants receive morphine through a spinal injection for pain relief, and the fluids are given through an IV to find out which one is better at preventing post-surgery upset stomach.
