Comparative study of effect on incidence of intraoperative nausea and vomiting provided by Ringer’s solution and hydroxyethyl starch during Cesarean section under spinal anesthesia

The goal of the study was to test and assess difference in effect of different types of infused solution (Ringer's solution and HEX 130/0,4) on incidence of intraoperative nausea and vomiting (IONV) in patients undergone cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Patients (n=76) were randomized into 2 groups depending on qualitative composition of infusion. There were no statistically significant difference between two studied group in demographic and obstetric parameters. No statistically significant difference of IONV incidence was found out between two groups. However small sample volumes doesn't allow asserting that Ringer's solution and HEX130/0,4 have equal effect on IONV incidence. Further studies with greater samples are needed to clarify this question.
