NCT ID NCT07551219

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether ondansetron, a drug often used for nausea, can reduce dangerous drops in blood pressure and heart rate in older adults (65+) undergoing spinal anesthesia for urologic surgery. Researchers tracked 140 patients to see if those who received ondansetron had fewer episodes of low blood pressure or slow heart rate during surgery. The goal was to find a simple way to make anesthesia safer for elderly patients.
