Comparative study on pre-operative ondansetron versus metoclopramide for prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Post-operative nausea and vomiting are common complications. The present study was conducted to compare the efficacy of pre-operative ondansetron versus Metoclopramide for its prevention. It was found that the incidence of nausea and vomiting at 0,3,12 and 24 hours was less in those receiving ondansetron as compared to those receiving metoclopramide. Ondansetron is more effective and safer than metoclopramide in preventing PONV in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
