Description

Background: Spinal anesthesia is a safe and effective alternative to general anesthesia when the surgical site is located on the lower extremities, perineum (eg, surgery on the genitalia or anus), or lower body wall (eg, inguinal herniorrhaphy). Objective: To compare post spinal (SAB) haemodynamic changes (hypotension and bradycardia) between two groups. Methods: This Prospective observational study was conducted in Department of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care in M GM Medical College and LKS Hospital. ASA physical status II, between 18 to 40 years of age, parturient undergoing elective caesarean section at term was enrolled in this study. Study period was August  2022- August 2023. Results: Intra-Op pulse rate was less in Normal Saline group compared to Ondansetron group which was statistically significant. Intra-op lowest SBP, DBP and MAP were less in Normal Saline group compared to Ondansetron group which were statistically significant. Episodes of bradycardia in intra-op were more in Normal Saline group compared to Ondansetron group though it was not statistically significant. The mean Episodes of hypotension in intra-op was more in Normal Saline group compared to Ondansetron group which was statistically significant. Conclusions: Use of intravenous ondansetron before sub-arachnoid block in parturients undergoing caesarean section, causes significant reduction of hypotension and variable reduction of bradycardia intra operatively.

 

Abstract (English)

Background: Spinal anesthesia is a safe and effective alternative to general anesthesia when the surgical site is located on the lower extremities, perineum (eg, surgery on the genitalia or anus), or lower body wall (eg, inguinal herniorrhaphy). Objective: To compare post spinal (SAB) haemodynamic changes (hypotension and bradycardia) between two groups. Methods: This Prospective observational study was conducted in Department of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care in M GM Medical College and LKS Hospital. ASA physical status II, between 18 to 40 years of age, parturient undergoing elective caesarean section at term was enrolled in this study. Study period was August  2022- August 2023. Results: Intra-Op pulse rate was less in Normal Saline group compared to Ondansetron group which was statistically significant. Intra-op lowest SBP, DBP and MAP were less in Normal Saline group compared to Ondansetron group which were statistically significant. Episodes of bradycardia in intra-op were more in Normal Saline group compared to Ondansetron group though it was not statistically significant. The mean Episodes of hypotension in intra-op was more in Normal Saline group compared to Ondansetron group which was statistically significant. Conclusions: Use of intravenous ondansetron before sub-arachnoid block in parturients undergoing caesarean section, causes significant reduction of hypotension and variable reduction of bradycardia intra operatively.
