Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of ondansetron for postspinal anesthesia hypotension in patients undergoing cesarean section.

Detailed description: Post-spinal anesthesia hypotension is a frequent complication during spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. The incidence of post-spinal anesthesia hypotension is as high as 62.1-89.7% if prophylactic measures are not taken. Ondansetron have been highly demonstrated for prevention and/or treatment of post-spinal anesthesia hypotension. However, whether ondansetron could further reduction the incidence of post-spinal anesthesia hypotension is still unknown. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of ondansetron for postspinal anesthesia hypotension in patients undergoing cesarean section.
