Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Spinal anesthesia is widely accepted as the anesthetic method of choice for Cesarean section. However, high-level blockage or hypotension induced by this technique may induce intraoperative nausea and vomiting (IONV), which is associated with patient discomfort and protrusion of abdominal viscera which may adversely affect patient safety. To prevent IONV, midazolam is frequently administered after delivery, but risk of hypotension and prolonged sedation due to its active metabolite also increases. On the other hand, remimazolam is known to have relatively shorter half-life and less likely induce hypotension when compared to midazolam, yet its effect on IONV has not been thoroughly evaluated. Hence, this study aimed to compare the effects of remimazolam and midazolam in preventing IONV in patients scheduled for elective Cesarean section.
