Controlled Clinical Trial
[Effect of ondansetron combined with dexamethasone on postoperative nausea & vomiting and pain of patients with laparoscopic hysterectomy].
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of ondansetron combined with dexamethasone on Post-Operative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) and pain with ondansetron alone in patients with laparoscopy assisted vaginal hysterectomy under general anesthesia. ⋯ We conclude that the administration of ondansetron combined with dexamethasone is more effective than the administration of ondansetron alone to reduce PONV in patients with laparoscopic hysterectomy.
