Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of flurbiprofen, metoclopramide and droperidol for nausea and emesis during cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
Nausea and emesis frequently arise during cesarean section performed under spinal or epidural anesthesia, particularly after delivery. We have evaluated the treatment effects of flurbiprofen, metoclopramide and droperidol on nausea and emesis during cesarean section in patients under combined spinal and epidural anesthesia. ⋯ Intravenous flurbiprofen improves nausea and emesis after delivery by cesarean section more effectively than metoclopramide or droperidol.

Epidural administration of local anesthetics or opioid during general anesthesia is a widespread method for postoperative analgesia. Despite the availability of this technique, inadvertent administration of nonepidural medications into the epidural space can be associated with serious neurological complications. We report a case of accidental epidural rocuronium injection.
