Epidural administration of 2% Mepivacaine after spinal anesthesia does not prevent intraoperative nausea and vomiting during cesarean section: A prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial.

Our results indicate that epidural administration of 2% mepivacaine 20 minutes after spinal anesthesia does not reduce the incidence of IONV in CS under CSEA. However, intraoperative epidural administration of 2% mepivacaine was found to improve intraoperative pain.
