Abstract

BACKGROUNDPostoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) is an incessant postoperative complication of surgery associated with patient inconvenience and discomfort and can be an unpleasant experience. We designed this study to assess the antiemetic efficacy of palonosetron versus dexamethasone in the prevention of PONV among patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery under general anaesthesia.
