Ondansetron for preventing low blood pressure during C-section
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a medicine called ondansetron (commonly used for nausea) can help prevent low blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for planned C-sections. If you are a healthy pregnant woman with a single baby at full term and scheduled for a C-section, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 40 years old.
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins) and are at least 37 weeks along.
- You are scheduled for a planned cesarean delivery (C-section).
- You are in good health with stable vital signs and normal blood tests.
- You do not have any bleeding disorders, heart or lung problems, or pregnancy-related high blood pressure (pre-eclampsia).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests two different doses of the drug noradrenaline to see which works better at preventing dangerously low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia for a planned C-section. This is for women who are at least 37 weeks pregnant and within a certain weight and height range.
This study tests two common anti-nausea drugs for women having emergency C-sections under spinal anesthesia who haven't fasted. It aims to find the best way to prevent vomiting and nausea during surgery.
This trial tests if giving ondansetron before spinal anesthesia can prevent itching that often happens after a C-section. It may help you feel more comfortable during recovery.
This study tests if giving hydrocortisone (a type of steroid) or ondansetron (an anti-nausea drug) before spinal anesthesia can better prevent low blood pressure during surgery for your belly or lower leg.
This trial tests whether using a bedside ultrasound to guide IV fluids, along with a nausea medicine called ondansetron, can prevent blood pressure from dropping after starting general anesthesia. It may help people stay more stable during elective surgeries.
This trial looks at whether we can predict which pregnant women will have a sudden drop in blood pressure during a cesarean section. If you're a healthy pregnant woman with a full-term single baby, this study could help improve safety.
