Comparison of the efficacy of ondansetron alone versus ondansetron and dexamethasone in the prevention or reduction of post operative nausea and vomiting after elective surgeries under general anaesthesia

The study is designed to provide evidence that may guide clinical decision-making in managing PONV, potentially improving patient comfort and recovery outcomes. If the combination therapy proves to be more effective than ondansetron alone, it could become the preferred treatment option for preventing PONV in this patient population. Conversely, if both regimens show similar efficacy, the simpler treatment of ondansetron alone may be sufficient, with implications for reducing treatment costs and minimizing medication-related side effects.

This study seeks to add valuable insights into the optimal management strategies for PONV, contributing to enhanced patient care following elective surgeries
