Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: Forty-five patients entered the study with a mean age of 30 years. Twenty percent of patients had nausea immediately postoperatively and 37% had nausea before discharge with no significant differences between groups. Overall rate of emesis, time in the recovery room, and time to discharge was not significantly different between the droperidol and ondansetron hydrochloride group. CONCLUSION: No real differences in the ability to prevent PONV between the two medications were found in this study.
