Effects of Ondansetron, Metoclopramide and Granisetron on Perioperative Nausea and Vomiting in Patients Undergone Bariatric Surgery

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2021-09-06

Summary

Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the leading causes of patient morbidity after laparoscopic bariatric surgeries. A wide variety of complications related to PONV has been described, such as prolonged length of stay (LOS) in hospital, unnecessary readmissions, delay in oral intake, and bad experience for patients. Although several antiemetic regimens have been tried so far in different studies, the incidence of PONV is not significantly lowered, and it seems that it is impossible to totally eliminate it. On the other hand, the implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) has greatly reduced the incidence of PONV and LOS. Therefore, a combination of ERAS and multiple antiemetic regimens is currently used to reduce the incidence of PONV. Nevertheless, the optimal regimen has not been found yet, and many trials are conducting to find out the best antiemetic regimen. In this randomized clinical trial, we compare four different combined and single regimens alongside the implementation of ERAS to show which regimen is more effective.
