Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyProphylactic control of post-operative nausea and vomiting using ondansetron and ramosetron after cardiac surgery.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of ondansetron and ramosetron in the reduction of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) associated with patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) after cardiac surgery. ⋯ The addition of either ondansetron or ramosetron to PCA can reduce the incidence of PONV during 48 h after cardiac surgery.
