Episodes with a severity score =5 were recorded, and clinically significant vomiting was treated with 4 mg IV ondansetron, repeated after 12 hours if persistent;Analgesia duration was the time from intrathecal injection to first pain requiring rescue analgesia. Pain severity was measured using a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS; 0 = no pain, 10 = most severe), categorized as mild (<4), moderate (4–6), or severe (7–10).
