Single dose i.v. tropisetron in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting after gynaecological surgery

Abstract: In a prospective, randomized, multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, we have compared the efficacy of a single i.v. dose of tropisetron 0.5 mg, 2 mg and 5 mg in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). We studied 385 ASA class I and II female patients undergoing abdominal or vaginal gynaecological surgery, including laparoscopy. Tropisetron or placebo were administered before a standardized general anaesthetic. The frequency of vomiting in the 24-h period after entry into the r… Show more

“…Capouet et al [53] have compared the efficacy of tropisetron at three different doses (0.5, 2, and 5 mg) with the effect of placebo administered i.v. before the induction of anesthesia, and have determined that tropisetron 2 mg is the optimal dose for the prevention of PONV in women undergoing gynecologic surgery.…”

“…However, the 2003 PONV guidelines [8] recommended tropisetron 5 mg IV to be given at the end of surgery. In a PONV prophylaxis study [96] in patients undergoing gynecologic surgery, there was no difference between doses of 0.5 mg, 2 mg, and 5 mg tropisetron administered before anesthesia. Another study [97] determined that 5 mg of tropisetron administered before induction was effective, but it did not evaluate other doses.…”

“…Als Hauptergebnis bleibt festzuhalten,dass Tropisetron insbesondere in den Dosierungen von 5 mg iv beim Erwachsenen und 0,1 mg×kg -1 Körpergewicht bei Kindern eine gut untersuchte -und im Placebovergleich signifikant überlegene -Prophylaxeoption darstellt.Wenngleich die Datenlage für 2 mg Tropisetron vergleichsweise dürftig ist, scheinen die Unterschiede in der Effektivität dieser beiden Dosierungen eher marginal zu sein. Dies wird durch 2 der vorhandenen direkten Vergleiche bestätigt [11,55], konnte in einer anderen Studie aber nicht bestätigt werden, in der sich 5 mg als effektiver als 2 mg erwiesen [12].…”
