- A clinical trial divided patients into three groups (4 mg ondansetron, 6 mg ondansetron, and a control with saline) to assess the impact of ondansetron on blood pressure and vasopressor use before spinal anaesthesia.
- Results showed no significant differences in blood pressure or hypotension incidents among groups; however, the control group required more ephedrine, indicating ondansetron may be beneficial in reducing vasopressor needs, but
