Abstract
PURPOSE: The study was designed to assess the efficacy of palonosetron and ramosetron in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) related to intravenous (IV) patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with opioidsafter gynecological laparoscopic surgery. METHODS: Patients were randomly allocated to 4 groups-C, P, R0.3 and RPCA. At the end of surgery, group C received an infusion of 50 ml normal saline, group P received palonosetron 75 μg mixed in 50 ml normal saline, and groups R0.3 and RPCA received ramosetron 0.3 mg mixed in 50 ml normal saline. A PCA pump containing fentanyl was connected for all groups; however, ramosetron 0.6 mg was mixed with the PCA regimen for the RPCA group. PONV and postoperative pain were assessed. RESULTS:PONV incidence and scale, and Rhodes index in RPCA group between 24 and 72 h after discharge from the post-anesthetic care unit (PACU) showed significantly lower values, compared with the other groups. PONV incidence and scale, and Rhodes index in P group and R0.3 group were lower than the corresponding values in C group at all times, without statistical significance. CONCLUSION: A single dose of palonosetron 75 μg or ramosetron 0.3 mg was unable to prevent PONV related to IV PCA with opioids in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery. The combination of a single dose of ramosetron 0.3 mg, followed by ramosetron 0.6 mg mixed with PCA, significantly decreased PONV compared with a single dose of palonosetron 75 μg or ramosetron 0.3 mg.
