Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Antiemetic prophylaxis after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: comparative study of dehydrobenzperidol, metoclopramide, ondansetron and placebo].
To compare the efficacy of ondansetron to that of metoclopramide, dehydrobenzperidol and placebo for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a double-blind random study. ⋯ Ondansetron provides safe, effective prophylaxis for PONV after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, but it is not superior to the antiemetic drugs usually used. Its use may be justified in patients in whom dehydrobenzperidol or metoclopramide are contraindicated.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Comparison of the double burst stimulus with the train-of-four stimuli in monitoring muscle relaxation during anesthesia].
To compare double burst stimulus (DBS) and the train-of-four stimuli (TOF) for monitoring neuromuscular blockade during anesthesia in terms of muscle relaxation requirements, dose of anticholinesterase agents and the possibility of postanesthetic residual relaxation. ⋯ The use of DBS increased the vecuronium dose required during anesthesia and risk in those patients who arrived at the PARU with residual muscle block (T4/T1r < 70%).
