About this Research Topic
Nausea and vomiting (NV) are common complications during and post cesarean section. NV not only reduces satisfaction, but can lead to serious complications, such as pulmonary aspiration and an incisional hernia. Intraoperative NV (IONV) is primarily caused by hypotension associated with spinal subarachnoid anesthesia, but is also related to surgical manipulation and administration of uterine contractile agents. PONV, on the other hand, is known to involve drugs used during surgery, especially opioids.
Guidelines for PONV in general surgery have been compiled in recent years, but the evidence for cesarean section is not settled. The purpose of this research topic is to present the causes of nausea and vomiting during and after cesarean section and to discuss methods of prevention and treatment of IONV and PONV.
1. What are their best methods for prevention of hypotension under spinal anesthesia? Also, how to use vasopressors, prophylactic or infusion?
2. What is the best combination of opioid use for spinal anesthesia? For consideration about balance between analgesic effect and side effect.
3. What is the best prophylactic agent for PONV? Is there evidence especially for cesarean section?
This Research Topics is looking for research focusing on the following scopes:
1. Characteristics of nausea and vomiting during and post cesarean section.
2. Hypotension during cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Relationship between hypotension and IONV.
3. Prevention of hypotension, use of vasopressor.
4. Prevention of hypotension non-pharmacological aspect.
5. The technique of cesarean section, relationship between IONV.
6. Spinal opioid, IONV and PONV.
7. Drug prophylaxis against IONV and PONV, aiming for evidence in particular.
This research topic accepts multiple form of manuscripts, including Original Research, Systematic Reviews, Opinion Articles and Editorials.
