Study Overview
Brief Summary
Post operative nausea and vomiting along with patient dissatisfaction has many other adverse effects such as delayed recovery and extended hospital stay. The incidence of post operative nausea and vomiting was observed 30% in laparoscopic surgeries is as high as as 70-80%. Granisetron and palonosetron are selective 5HT3 receptor antagonists that play an important role in the prophylaxis of PONV as they are more efficacious and have lesser side effects when compared to other antiemetics. Hence the present double blind study to compare the efficacy of palanosetron and granisetron in PONV in laparoscopic surgeries.
