Absence of analgesic effect of intravenous melatonin administration during daytime after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a randomized trial.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of prophylactic ramosetron and ondansetron on corrected QT interval during general anesthesia.
To evaluate whether ramosetron increases the corrected QT (QTc) interval. ⋯ The prophylactic administration 0.3 mg of ramosetron does not increase the QTc interval. Ondansetron 8 mg increases the QTc interval more so than 4 mg of ondansetron.
