Summary
More than 30% of the patients receiving spinal anesthesia develop hypotension. Hypotension
developed during cesarean section (C/S) under spinal anesthesia may jeopardize uteroplacental
circulation leading to fetal compromise and even fetal death.
The effect of prophylactic ondansetron on blood pressure after spinal anesthesia has not been
compared in a clinical trial with that of a vasoconstrictor. We will compare ephedrine and
ondansetron for the prevention of maternal hypotension after spinal anesthesia for elective
cesarean delivery.
