Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyOndansetrone or metoclopromide? Which is more effective in severe nausea and vomiting of pregnancy? A randomized trial double-blind study.
Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) are seen in 50-80% of pregnancies. However, in severe NVP, called hypermesis gravidarum (HG), medical therapy to reduce nausea and vomiting is inevitable and ondansetron (OND) as an effective drug has recently been proposed. This study evaluated the effectiveness of OND versus metoclopramide (MET) in the treatment of HG. ⋯ OND has a more favorable effect in controlling severe vomiting.

Randomized Controlled TrialMaternal and umbilical cord oxygen content and acid-base balance in relation to general, epidural or subarachnoid anesthesia for term elective cesarean section.
To compare maternal and neonatal oxygenation and acid-base status after elective cesarean section (CS) under different anesthetic techniques. ⋯ Neonatal oxygenation and acid-base status values were better preserved when GA was administered for elective CS compared to regional modalities. Apgar scores and neonatal outcomes were not affected by the anesthetic technique.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparison of diclofenac sodium with indomethacin suppositories for mediolateral episiotomies.
The study was carried out to compare the analgesic effect of diclofenac sodium and indomethacin suppositories for management of right mediolateral episiotomy repair. ⋯ The two analgesics were effective after episiotomy repair, however diclofenac sodium suppositories may be the preferred choice because they were more effective.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyThe efficacy of paracetamol versus tenoxicam on postoperative pain and morphine consumption after abdominal hysterectomy: a placebo-controlled, randomized study.
The purpose of this study was to determine the analgesic efficacy and side-effects of paracetamol and tenoxicam in comparison with placebo in patients with postoperative pain after elective abdominal hysterectomy. ⋯ A single dose of 20 mg tenoxicam provided effective analgesia and reduced total morphine consumption in comparison with paracetamol and placebo after abdominal hysterectomy.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyExteriorized versus in-situ repair of the uterine incision at cesarean delivery: a randomized controlled trial.
To compare advantages and disadvantages of exteriorized and in situ repair techniques of uterine incision during cesarean section. ⋯ Exteriorized and in situ repair of uterine incisions have similar effects on blood loss, temperature patterns, postoperative analgesic dosage and the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Although both methods of uterine incision repair are valid options during surgery, cesarean sections took less time and length of hospital stay was shorter when uterine incision was repaired in situ.
