About this study

Official title: Comparison of Palonosetron and Ondansetron for the Prevention of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting After Bariatric Surgery

Evaluate the safety and efficacy of palonosetron versus ondansetron to reduce and control post-operative nausea in bariatric surgery.

Read the detailed description

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is an undesirable clinical condition that increases the likelihood of dehiscence, bleeding, pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents, and electrolyte loss that lead to increased costs, prolonged hospital stays, and delayed recovery. In recent years, selective serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine sub-type 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists such as ondansetron, granisetron, palonosetron have been introduced because they are effective in the prevention and treatment of PONV in bariatric surgery. In this study, the effects of ondansetron and palonosetron on PONV in patients who undergo sleeve gastrectomy will be compared.

Being tested
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, Palonosetron 1mcg/kg, Ondansetron 1 mg/kg, max dose 8 mg

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomyProcedure or surgery

    Sleeve gastrectomy, also called a vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical weight-loss procedure. This procedure is typically performed laparoscopically, which involves inserting small instruments through multiple small incisions in the upper abdomen. During sleeve gastrectomy, about 80 percent of the stomach is removed, leaving a tube-shaped stomach about the size and shape

  • Palonosetron 1mcg/kgDrug

    Injectable Palonosetron 1 mcg/kg diluted up to 5 mL with normal saline solution and injected intravenously at the end of the bariatric surgery.

  • Ondansetron 1 mg/kg, max dose 8 mgDrug

    Injectable ondansetron 0.1 mg/kg, maximum of 8 mg was injected intravenously at the end of the bariatric surgery.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
OndansetronIn Group B (n = 50): Intravenous injection of ondansetron 0.1 mg/kg diluted up to 5 mL with normal saline solution in a maximum dose of 8 mg is performed at the end of bariatric surgery while patients are in anesthesia. The drug is injected once.
Receives: Procedure: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy; Drug: Ondansetron 1 mg/kg, max dose 8 mg
PalonosetronThe antiemetics used are palonosetron in Group A (n = 50): Intravenous injection of Palonosetron 1 mcg/kg diluted up to 5 mL with normal saline solution is performed at the end of bariatric surgery while patients are in anesthesia. The drug is injected once.
