Interventions
This device stimulates the chi channel at the master of the heart (MH8 position) at the small depression of the volar surface of the distal right forearm just above the crest of the wrist. The device is placed on patients in the operating room prior to administration of the regional anesthesia and will be removed after the cesarean section is complete. The device is removed from the patient in the operating room, before the patient is transported to the recovery room. Patients receive continuous stimulation at a level that is comfortable for the patient prior to administration of the standardized regional anesthesia.
10 mg Reglan IV immediately prior to administration of the standardized regional anesthesia.
8 mg of Zofran IV immediately prior to administration of the standardized regional anesthesia.
