Postoperative nausea and vomiting in children using patient-controlled analgesia: the effect of prophylactic intravenous dixyrazine (original) (raw)

Abstract

Our study confirms a relatively high incidence of PONV in children who undergo general anaesthesia for RFCA, and we have identified factors which significantly increase the risk of developing this significant complication. oxide and prophylactic ondansetron compared to an incidence of PONV of 63% in patients who received volatile-based anesthesia, nitrous oxide and prophylactic ondansetron . These numbers suggest that RFCA may represent an increased risk for PONV in the pediatric population.
