Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Subjective complaints of out-patients after halothane or enflurane anaesthesia (author's transl)].
In a prospective and randomized study, day-patients receiving halothane or enflurane-anaesthesia (n = 42 resp. 59) were followed up by questionnaire to detect subjective complaints. There was no difference between the two anaesthetic agents. Despite the high incidence of complaints (88%), most of the patients would choose day-stay care (75%) and general anaesthesia (77%) again.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical Trial
Postoperative nausea and vomiting treated with domperidone (r 33812) an open and a double-blind study.
The effect of domperidone on postoperative nausea and vomiting was evaluated in two consecutive studies. Fifty-eight patients with postoperative nausea and vomiting were included in an open pilot study and 38 other patients in a double-blind trial. ⋯ In the double-blind trial, vomiting recurred significantly later in domperidone than in placebo-treated patients. Side-effects were not seen nor reported in either study.
