Granisetron Use, Blood Pressure, and Nausea and Vomiting During Cesarean Delivery Under Spinal Anesthesia
Effects of Granisetron Administered After Spinal Anesthesia on Intraoperative Hemodynamics and Nausea and Vomiting in Cesarean Deliveries: A Prospective Observational Study
This study will observe 80 adults having a cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia at Kayseri City Hospital. It will compare patients who receive granisetron as part of routine care to prevent nausea and vomiting with patients who do not receive preventive anti-nausea medicine. Granisetron use is decided by the treating anesthesiologist, not assigned by the study. Patients in the granisetron group receive the medicine within 5 minutes before or after spinal anesthesia. The main measurement is the total dose of ephedrine used during the operation. Ephedrine is a medicine used to treat low blood pressure. The study will also record low blood pressure at scheduled measurement points and nausea and vomiting during the operation. Patient enrollment is planned from October 15 to December 15, 2026.

Descrição detalhada
This single-center prospective observational cohort study will be conducted in the Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation at Kayseri City Hospital. The planned sample comprises 80 consenting pregnant adults with singleton pregnancies and American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status II undergoing cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia, with a target of 40 participants in each exposure group.
Anesthetic technique, antiemetic prophylaxis, fluid management, and treatment of hypotension remain at the discretion of the treating anesthesiologist as part of routine clinical care. No drug or treatment is assigned by the research protocol. The granisetron-exposed group comprises patients receiving prophylactic intravenous granisetron within the interval from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after spinal anesthesia. The comparison group comprises patients receiving no prophylactic antiemetic. Rescue antiemetic treatment is recorded separately from prophylaxis. Granisetron dose and timing and other medications are recorded. Apfel scores are not collected.
Systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation are recorded at baseline; 0, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, and 60 minutes after spinal anesthesia while surgery is ongoing; at delivery of the baby; and at the end of surgery. Hypotension is evaluated as the number of recorded intraoperative measurement points with mean arterial pressure below 65 mmHg and, separately, systolic arterial pressure below 90 mmHg. These measures are counts of low-pressure measurement points, not estimates of time spent hypotensive.
The primary outcome is the cumulative intraoperative ephedrine dose in milligrams. Other recorded data include intraoperative nausea and vomiting, rescue antiemetic use, bradycardia, other vasopressors, spinal anesthetic and opioid doses, sensory block level, demographic and obstetric characteristics, surgical times, fluid administration, and estimated blood loss. Observation is limited to the intraoperative period.
The sample size calculation described in the protocol is based on a published between-group difference in total ephedrine consumption, with an effect size of approximately 0.91, two-sided alpha of 0.05, and 95% power. The target was increased from 66 to 80 participants to allow for missing data. Continuous variables will be compared using a t-test or Mann-Whitney U test as appropriate, and categorical variables using a chi-square or Fisher exact test. Potential confounding may be assessed using multivariable regression.

População do estudo
Adults with singleton pregnancies and ASA physical status II undergoing elective or emergency cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia at Kayseri City Hospital between October 15 and December 15, 2026. Patients are observed according to routine clinical care, with no study-assigned treatment. The target sample is 80 participants: 40 receiving prophylactic intravenous granisetron within 5 minutes before or after spinal anesthesia and 40 receiving no prophylactic antiemetic.

- Elective or emergency cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia at Kayseri City Hospital.
- Written informed consent to participate.
- Routine intraoperative monitoring and a prophylactic antiemetic decision made independently by the treating anesthesiologist.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Age below 18 years.
- Cesarean delivery performed under general or epidural anesthesia, or intraoperative conversion from spinal to general anesthesia.
- Multiple pregnancy.
- Serious cardiovascular disease, severe arrhythmia, or advanced heart failure.
- Severe preeclampsia, eclampsia, or HELLP syndrome.

Prophylactic Granisetron
Patients who receive prophylactic intravenous granisetron within 5 minutes before or 5 minutes after spinal anesthesia as part of routine clinical care for cesarean delivery. The decision to administer granisetron and its dose are determined by the treating anesthesiologist independently of study participation. The dose and administration time are recorded. The target group size is 40 participants. |
Prophylactic intravenous granisetron administered during routine clinical care within 5 minutes before or 5 minutes after spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. The decision to use granisetron and the dose are determined by the treating anesthesiologist independently of this observational study. Actual dose and administration timing are recorded; no study-mandated dosing is imposed. |
|
No Prophylactic Antiemetic
Patients undergoing cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia who receive no prophylactic antiemetic as part of routine clinical care. Prophylaxis decisions are made by the treating anesthesiologist independently of study participation. Rescue antiemetic medication may be administered when clinically indicated and is recorded separately; rescue treatment does not redefine the initial prophylaxis group. The target group size is 40 participants. |
