Aim of the Research, to compare the effects of oral 10 and 5 mg Olanzapine for the Prevention of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting
Nausea and vomiting (PONV) remain a common problem in surgical units. Even after two or three prophylactic antiemetic interventions, patients with all four of the Apfel risk factors for PONV have an estimated 30 to 40% chance of suffering PONV. Olanzapine as an antiemetic represents a new use of an antipsychotic drug.
