This double-blind randomized clinical trial aimed at comparing the effect of intranasal desmopressin with that of intravenous ketorolac in pain management of patients with renal colic referring to the emergency department. ⋯ It is likely for desmopressin to be less efficacious than ketorolac, and desmopressin leads to a significant alleviation of pain in patients with renal colic.

Hypotension is one of the most common complications of spinal anesthesia in parturients undergoing cesarean section. In this regard, the patient's position may affect the incidence of hypotension. ⋯ The present study showed that 1- or 2-minute sitting position after spinal anesthesia with 2.5 cc of hyperbaric bupivacaine in elective cesarean section results in more hemodynamic stability, compared with immediately lying down.
