Introduction: Laparoscopic surgeries are known to be associated with a higher incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Prophylaxis of PONV is usually achieved with a single-dose antiemetic drug administered during the surgical procedure. The aim of this study was to compare the antiemetic efficacy of two different 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 receptor antagonists, ondansetron and granisetron when given prophylactically to patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods: It was a randomized, double blind study, conducted in 90 patients. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A and Group B with 45 patients in each group. Patients in groupA were given 100microgram/kg ondansetron intravenously (IV),and patients in Group B were given 40 microgram/kg granisetron. Both the drugs were diluted in 10 ml of 0.9% NaCl and were given at the end of surgery. The standard general anesthetic technique was administered to all the patients. Episodes of nausea, retching and vomiting were assessed during the first 24 hours after anesthesia.Results: There was no statistically significant difference for demographic data and duration of surgery among the two groups (P > 0.05). Evaluated nausea and vomiting scores in the first 3hours period revealed that each of the drugs had a similar antiemetic effect (P > 0.05). Between 4–12 hours also the episodes of nausea, retching as well as vomiting were statistically insignificant in both the groups. In the last 12 hours, episodes of nausea, retching and vomiting were significantly higher in ondansetron group.Conclusions: Granisetron, when given prophylactically, resulted in a significantly lower incidence of PONV than ondansetron in the first 24 hours.Keywords: Granisetron; Laparoscopic cholecystectomy; Ondansetron; postoperative nausea vomiting.

IntroductionLaparoscopic cholecystectomy has higher incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). In routine practice single dose of drug is given prophylactically during the surgery.ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare the antiemetic efficacy of two different 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 (5HT3) receptor antagonists, Ondansetron and Granisetron when given prophylactically to patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.MethodologyIt was a randomized, single blind study, conducted in 75 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients were divided into two groups: Group O and Group G. Patients in group O were given 0.1 mg/kg Ondansetron intravenously (IV) and patients in Group G were given 0.04 mg/kg Granisetron. The standard general anesthetic technique was administered to all the patients. Episodes of nausea, retching and vomiting were assessed during the first 24 hours after  anesthesia. Collected data was applied with appropriate test in SPSS 16 and overall significance level was considered at 95% confidence interval (p ≤ 0.05).ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference for demographic data among the two groups (P>0.05). Both drugs were similarly effective in first four hours (P>0.05). Between 4–12 hours and 12-24 hours, episodes of nausea and vomiting were higher in Ondansetron group.ConclusionThe incidence of PONV was significantly high in Ondansetron than in Granisetron given prophylactically in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Birat Journal of Health SciencesVol.2/No.1/Issue 2/ Jan - April 2017, page: 175-178

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common complication associated with the use of anesthesia. Several antiemetics are used to reduce the incidence and severity of PONV. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of dexamethasone and ondansetron to treat PONV in patients undergoing cesarean section (c-section) under spinal anesthesia. Methods: This double-blind clinical trial study was performed on patients who were referred to the operating room of Haji Karim Asali Hospital of Khorramabad for elective cesarean section in 2016-17. Upon meeting the inclusion criteria, patients were allotted into two groups (n=60). Group A received 8mg of dexamethasone and group B received 4mg of ondansetron after spinal anesthesia. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) questionnaire and Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS) questionnaire was used for the analysis. Patients with mild to moderate stress, anxiety, and depression were included in the study. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16 software. Results: There was no difference in the demographic data of the two groups. The mean severity of nausea in group A was significantly higher than in group B. The frequency of vomiting in group A was 20 times higher than group B, which was found to be statistically significant, p = 0.018. Concerning the type of delivery with the frequency of nausea, the results showed that the frequency of nausea in group A was 3.24 times higher than group B, however, this difference was not statistically significant, p = 0.106. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, ondansetron had a significant effect on the alleviation of postoperative nausea and vomiting, as compared to dexamethasone in c-section surgical candidates.

Introduction. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations still continue to be a serious problem. Intravenous fluid administration has been shown to reduce PONV. Some patients have higher risk for PONV described by APFEL score. In this study, our aim was to determine the effects of preoperative intravenous hydration on postoperative nausea and vomiting in high Apfel scored patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.Patients and Methods. This study is performed with 50 female patients who had APFEL score 3-4 after ethics committee approval and informed consent was taken from patients. The patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 (P1): propofol + preoperative hydration and group 2 (P2): propofol + no preoperative hydration.Results. When the total nausea VAS scores of groups P1and P2to which hydration was given or not given were compared, a statistically significant difference was detected at 8th and 12th hours (P=0.001andP=0.041). It was observed that in group P1, which was given hydration, the nausea VAS score was lower. When the total number of patients who had nausea and vomiting in P1and P2, more patients suffered nausea in P2group.Discussion. Preoperative hydration may be effective in high Apfel scored patients to prevent postoperative nausea.

Background. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of common complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of subhypnotic (1 mg/kg/h) infusion of propofol with dexamethasone on PONV in patients undergoing LC.Methods. A total of 120 patients were included in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients were randomly assigned to 3 groups; patients of group dexamethasone (group D) were administrated 8 mg dexamethasone before induction of anesthesia, patients of group propofol (group P) were infused to subhypnotic (1 mg/kg/h) propofol during operation and patients of group control (group C) were applied infusion of 10% intralipid. The incidence of PONV and needs for rescue analgesic and antiemetic were recorded in the first 24 h postoperatively.Results. In the 0–24 h, the incidence of PONV was significantly lower in the group D and group P compared with the group C (37.5%, 40%, and 72.5%, resp.). There was no significant difference in the incidence of PONV and use of antiemetics and analgesic between group D and group P.Conclusion. We concluded that infusion of propofol 1 mg/kg/h is as effective as dexamethasone for the prevention of PONV during the first 24 hours after anesthesia in patients undergoing LC.
