Abstract
This prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the antiemetic efficacy of preoperative oral ondansetron, 0.075 mg/kg or 0.15 mg/kg, in 136 preadolescent children premedicated with midazolam 0.5 mg/kg per os and dexamethasone 0.1 mg/kg intravenously prior to undergoing tonsillectomy with isoflurane anesthesia. The incidence of vomiting during the 24 h after tonsillectomy was significantly reduced (P (Anesth Analg 1996;82:558-62)Keywords
