Evaluation of Palonosetron versus Ondansetron in Preventing Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common and distressing complication of surgery under general anaesthesia. This randomized, double-blind study evaluated the relative efficacy of palonosetron and ondansetron in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing gynaecological laparoscopic surgery. Patients received either palonosetron 0.075 mg (n = 50) or ondansetron 8 mg (n = 50), intravenously, immediately before induction of general anaesthesia. The incidence of a complete response during 0-3 hour in the postoperative period was 70% with ondansetron and 92% with palonosetron, the incidence during 3-12 hour postoperatively was 60% with ondansetron and 92% with palonosetron. During 12-24 hour, the incidence was 54% and 90% and 24-48 hour the incidence was 50% and 88% respectively. In conclusion, palonosetron 0.075 mg was more effective than ondansetron 8 mg in preventing PONV.
