What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate the frequency and risk factors associated with postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing elective cesarean sections with spinal anesthesia. Participants will be monitored for nausea and vomiting in the recovery room and during follow-up visits within the first 24 hours post-surgery. The study will utilize a standard management protocol that includes the administration of intrathecal morphine and multimodal antiemetic prophylaxis. Data collected will help identify the incidence of PONV and the factors that may contribute to its occurrence.
