Effect of Anxiolytic Dose on Incidence of Intraoperative Nausea and Vomiting in CS Under Spinal Anesthesia
CENTRAL ASIAN JOURNAL OF MEDICAL AND NATURAL SCIENCE, 4 (4): 496-503 (August 2023)
Abstract
Nausea and vomiting are common adverse effects experienced by patients undergoing regional anesthesia for cesarean sections. These symptoms can cause distress to the patient and disrupt the surgical procedure. This study aimed to investigate the factors contributing to nausea and vomiting in this specific population. A retrospective analysis was conducted on a sample of patients who underwent cesarean sections under regional anesthesia. The data collected included patient demographics, anesthesia technique, intraoperative factors, and postoperative outcomes. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between the use of intravenous opioid supplementation and the occurrence of nausea and vomiting (p < 0.0001). However, no significant associations were found between the other factors examined and the incidence of these symptoms. These findings highlight the importance of minimizing the use of intravenous opioids to reduce the risk of nausea and vomiting during regional anesthesia for cesarean sections.
