Brief Summary

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

We study efficacy of iv nalbuphine in prevention of intrathecal morphine-induced nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing cesarean section.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

IV nalbuphine has been proved to help prevent intrathecal morphine-induced pruritus in some studies but results in nausea vomiting prevention have not been well studied. In Thailand, most caesarean section is done under spinal anesthesia with intrathecal morphine, proving that iv nalbuphine is effective would be beneficial for our population. This study aims to see whether 4 mg of nalbuphine is effective in reducing incidence of intrathecal morphine-related nausea vomiting in parturient who underwent C-section under spinal anesthesia with 0.2 mg of intrathecal morphine.
