Randomized Controlled Trial
The effects of the prophylactic tropisetron-propofol combination on postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing thyroidectomy under desflurane anesthesia.
To evaluate the efficacies of tropisetron and tropisetron-propofol combination in the prophylaxis for postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing thyroidectomy under desflurane anesthesia. (This combination has apparently not been previously investigated for this particular surgery and anesthesia.) ⋯ The tropisetron-propofol combination is more effective than tropisetron alone in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting after thyroidectomy.
