Methodology: Patients were randomly allocated to three groups. Palonosetron (0.075 mg) was administered intravenously to all patients before anesthetic induction, and a 100-ml IV-PCA infusion, which contained 20 mcg/kg of fentanyl with placebo (normal saline) in group 1, ramosetron (0.3 mg) in group 2, and palonosetron (0.075 mg) in group 3 was started at the end of surgery. PONV, postoperative pain, and adverse effects were assessed.
Results: The incidence of postoperative nausea at PACU was lower in group 2 than in group 1 (5.6% vs 33.3%, p
