In the meta-analysis performed by Gao L et al‚ ten randomized clinical studies were reviewed to determine the effect of ondansetron in the prevention of hypotension after spinal anesthesia was initiated. The researchers used relative risk with a 95% confidence interval to analyze their outcomes. The meta-analysis suggests that spinal-induced hypotension‚ bradycardia‚ and amount of vasopressors needed were reduced with prophylactic ondansetron. However‚ Gao L et al recommends that further‚ stricter
