Summary
Brief summary
spinal-induced hypotension results primarily from decreased vascular resistance secondary to a relative parasympathetic dominance, increased baroreceptor activity, or induction of the Bezold Jarisch Reflex (BJR). several animal studies
suggest that 5-HT (serotonin) may be an important factor
associated inducing the BJR.
We hypothesized that spinal-induced
hypotension and bradycardia could be minimized
with the use of intravenous ondansetron, a 5-HT3 receptor
antagonist, in obstetric patients undergoing caesarean section.
