Abstract
Cesarean sections under spinal anesthesia are now a daily occurrence in most tertiary hospitals. We report the first published case of inadvertent spinal injection of ondansetron without any neurological sequelae in a patient undergoing elective Cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. She did not experience any permanent neurological sequelae, and also did not exhibit any central neuraxial opioid side effects-nausea, vomiting or pruritus. Vigilance is essential to reduce the risk of wrong route delivery of drugs, especially when presented in very similar-looking 2 mL ampules as in our institution.Entities:
