Why the study?
Females undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic procedures are particularly vulnerable to postoperative nausea and vomiting, motivating an evaluation of preoperative versus postoperative ondansetron.
Does postoperative administration of ondansetron prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting better than preoperative administration in females undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgeries?
Does postoperative administration of ondansetron prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting better than preoperative administration in females undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgeries?
Postoperative administration of 4mg intravenous ondansetron is more effective than preoperative administration for preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting in laparoscopic gynecological surgeries.
