Meta Analysis[Meta-analysis of controlled randomized studies on droperidol for prevention of postoperative phase vomiting and nausea].
Randomised, controlled trials using prophylactic droperidol to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) were included in a meta-analysis to estimate efficiency and dose-response of treatment. ⋯ Droperidol is an effective antiemetic drug. The drug can be administered to patients with an increased risk of suffering from PONV without antiemetic prophylaxis. Since a positive dose response is lacking, droperidol should only be administered in doses of 1 mg or less.
