Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Comparison of granisetron, droperidol, and metoclopramide for prevention of postoperative vomiting in children with a history of motion sickness undergoing tonsillectomy.
A history of motion sickness is one of the patient-related factors associated with postoperative vomiting (POV). This study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of granisetron, droperidol, and metoclopramide for the prevention of POV after tonsillectomy in children with a history of motion sickness. ⋯ Prophylactic therapy with granisetron is superior to droperidol or metoclopramide for the prevention of POV after tonsillectomy in children with a history of motion sickness.
