Abstract
|
|
|
Nausea and vomiting are common problems after strabismus surgery in pediatric patients. We compared the effects of droperidol and ephedrine with conventional regimen consisting of halothane-N2O to the effects of conventional regimen itself. 69
children,
ASA physical status 1, aged 1-2yrs, were studied. Each child was randomly assigned to receive droperidol 0.04mg/kg. ephedrine 0.5mg/kg or normal saline 2ml intramuscularly, 10 minutes before the end of surgery. The incidence of postanesthetic
nausea and
vomiting was 17% in the droperidol group(p<0.05), 13% in the ephedrine group(p<0.05), which were significantly less than the control group (43%). But there was no significant difference between droperidol group and ephedrine group. We concluded
that
droperidol and ephedrine have significant postoperative antiemetic effect in patients undergoing strabismus surgery.
