Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyOndansetrone or metoclopromide? Which is more effective in severe nausea and vomiting of pregnancy? A randomized trial double-blind study.
Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) are seen in 50-80% of pregnancies. However, in severe NVP, called hypermesis gravidarum (HG), medical therapy to reduce nausea and vomiting is inevitable and ondansetron (OND) as an effective drug has recently been proposed. This study evaluated the effectiveness of OND versus metoclopramide (MET) in the treatment of HG. ⋯ OND has a more favorable effect in controlling severe vomiting.

Randomized Controlled TrialMaternal and umbilical cord oxygen content and acid-base balance in relation to general, epidural or subarachnoid anesthesia for term elective cesarean section.
To compare maternal and neonatal oxygenation and acid-base status after elective cesarean section (CS) under different anesthetic techniques. ⋯ Neonatal oxygenation and acid-base status values were better preserved when GA was administered for elective CS compared to regional modalities. Apgar scores and neonatal outcomes were not affected by the anesthetic technique.
