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 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.
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 tests if a fast-dissolving ondansetron strip placed in the mouth can help prevent shivering in patients who have had spinal anesthesia for lower body surgeries. If you are having a planned surgery on your legs, hips, or lower belly with spinal anesthesia, this might be an option for you.
