Study summary

The aim of the present study is to quantify the dose and usage of sympathomimetics used in caesarean section.

Read the detailed description

Recent metaanalysis showed significantly reduced hypotension and bradycardia in patients undergoing caesarean section in spinal anesthesia when 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 receptor antagonists were used prophylactically.

Due to this fact in our clinic the standard procedure was changed. All patients for caesarean section receive Granisetron before spinal anesthesia.

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the usage and dose of sympathomimetics during spinal anesthesia.

Therefore the investigators will evaluate approximately 120 participants who received granisetron and 120 participants who did not receive 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 receptor antagonists.
