Nausea and vomiting in day‐case dental anaesthesia

Abstract
Summary: The anti‐emetic effects of low‐dose droperidol (1.25 mg), ultra‐low‐dose droperidol(0.25 mg) and a placebo were compared in patients admitted for day‐case dental anaesthesia. Ultra‐low‐dose droperidol produced a significant decrease in the subjective feeling of nausea without delaying recovery or discharge from the hospital (p < 0.05). Low‐dose droperidol did not significantly reduce nausea (p > 0.05) and prolonged the recovery time (p < 0.05).
