Abstract
Background: The antiemetic efficacy of midazolam and ondansetron was shown before. The aim of the
present study was to compare efficacy of using intravenous midazoalm, ondansetron, and midazolam in
combination with ondansetron for treatment of nausea and vomiting after cesarean delivery in parturient
underwent spinal anesthesia.
Materials and Methods: One hundred thirty two parturients were randomly allocated to one of three
groups: group M (n = 44) that received intravenous midazoalm 30 g/kg; group O (n = 44) that received
intravenous ondansetron 8 mg; group MO (n = 44) that received intravenous midazoalm 30 g/kg combined
with intravenous ondansetron 8 mg if patients had vomiting or VAS of nausea 3 during surgery (after
umbilical cord clamping) and 24 hours after that. The incidence and severity of vomiting episodes and
nausea with visual analog scale (VAS) > 3 were evaluated at 2 hours, 6 hours, and 24 hours after injection
of study drugs.
Results: The incidence of nausea was significantly less in group MO compared with group M and group
O at 6 hours postoperatively (P = 0.01). This variable was not significantly different in three groups at 2
hours and 24 hours after operation. The severity of nausea and vomiting was significantly different in three
groups at 6 hours after operation (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Our study showed that using intravenous midazolam 30 g/kg in combination with intravenous
ondansetron 8 mg was superior to administering single drug in treatment of emetic symptoms after cesarean
delivery under spinal anesthesia.
