Randomized Controlled TrialAntiemetic efficacy of dexamethasone combined with midazolam after middle ear surgery.
To evaluate the antiemetic efficacy of dexamethasone combined with midazolam after middle ear surgery. ⋯ The combination of dexamethasone and midazolam was better than dexamethasone alone in reducing the incidence of vomiting and the rescue antiemetic requirements in women patients undergoing middle ear surgery. However, this combination treatment did not significantly decrease the overall incidence of nausea and vomiting compared with the use of dexamethasone alone.
