Preventing nausea in emergency C-section patients
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant and having an emergency C-section (not a planned one).
- You have not eaten recently (full stomach).
- You are 18 or older.
- You are carrying only one baby.
- You are in generally good health (ASA I or II).

This research study looks at how often nausea and vomiting happen after a planned C-section with spinal anesthesia, when standard preventive medicine is given. If you are having a planned C-section with a single baby at over 37 weeks, this study may help doctors understand your risk better.
This trial tests if an ondansetron lozenge (a tablet you dissolve in your mouth) works as well as ondansetron given through a vein to prevent shivering during cesarean section. Shivering is a common side effect of spinal anesthesia.
This study compares giving ondansetron (a nausea medicine) through a vein versus injecting it near a nerve to prevent nausea and vomiting after weight loss surgery. It may help identify which method works best for patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
This study tests whether giving anti-nausea medicine before a C-section with spinal anesthesia can prevent nausea and vomiting from the pain medication (morphine) used during the procedure. If you are having a planned C-section, this may help you feel more comfortable afterward.
This study tests if giving ondansetron, a common anti-nausea drug, before spinal anesthesia for a planned C-section can help prevent dangerously low blood pressure. This may make the procedure safer and more comfortable for you and your baby.
This study tests whether the drug granisetron helps prevent nausea and vomiting and keeps blood pressure stable during a cesarean section when you are awake but numb from the waist down (spinal anesthesia). It may help you feel more comfortable during delivery.
