Abstract
Haloperidol, a major tranquilizer, has been found to have a potent antiemetic effect on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), but the prophylactic effect of haloperidol plus dexamethasone on PONV has not been evaluated. We evaluated the prophylactic effect of haloperidol plus dexamethasone to either given alone, placebo or droperidol on PONV in patients undergoing a laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy. Four hundred adult women (n = 80 in each of five groups) scheduled for a laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy were enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, placebo, and positive-control study. Fifteen minutes after the induction of anesthesia, patients received an i.v. injection of either saline (group S), droperidol 1.25 mg (group D), haloperidol 2 mg (group H), dexamethasone 5 mg (group Dx), or haloperidol 2 mg plus dexamethasone 5 mg (group H + Dx) to prevent PONV. The occurrence of PONV and medication-related side effects were recorded. The incidences of PONV (0-24 h) in the D (36%), H (37%), Dx (38%), and H + Dx (19%) groups were significantly lower than in the S group (65%; P < 0.05 for each comparison). The H + Dx group had the lowest incidence of PONV (19%; P < 0.05 for each comparison) of the five study g...Continue Reading
