Patient Population: Male or female subjects 18 years of age or older who are scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy

No. of Subjects: 100 patients divided into two groups, estimated up to 6 months to enroll

Duration of Treatment: Prior operation

Duration of Follow-up: Follow-up will be performed for 24 hours postoperatively

Endpoints: To evaluate the effectiveness of low dose droperidol when administered Prior surgery

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled study, the researchers determined whether 0.625 mg (1/2 amp) IV droperidol given at the initiation of general anesthesia reduces the incidence of immediate and delayed post operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy population. One hundred patients receiving general anesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy received droperidol 0.625 mg (1/2 amp) mg or placebo prior operation.
