Abstract
In this study, we investigated the efficacy of granisetron, a 5HT3 receptor antagonist, in preventing nausea and vomiting during cesarean deliveries performed under spinal anesthesia. A total of 160 pregnant women received either intravenous granisetron (40 mg/kg) or placebo after umbilical cord clamping (n = 80 each). Following spinal anesthesia, patients were monitored for nausea, vomiting, and adverse events for 24 hours. Granisetron achieved a complete response in 80% of patients immediately after spinal anesthesia, compared to 45% with placebo. From 4 to 24 hours post-anesthesia, the corresponding rates were 83.5% and 55% (P < 0.06). Adverse events did not significantly differ between the groups. Granisetron demonstrates efficacy in preventing emetic episodes during spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery when administered prophylactically
