Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Single antiemetic agent and dual antiemetic agent prophylaxis  Three groups, first group recieves ondansetron 4mg iv 30 mins before end of surgery , second group recieves dexamethasone 0.1mg per kg at start of surgery,third group recieves both ondansetron 4mg iv and dexamethasone 0.1 mg per kg as antiemetic prophylaxis. 
Intervention  Single vs dual antiemetic prophylaxis in patients posted for laparoscopic cholecystectomy under opioid free anaesthesia   Opioid free general anaesthesia is given in all three groups with dexmedetomidine 0.5mcgper kgpermin loading dose followed by maintainance dose of 0.2-0.7 MCG per kg per hour . Induction is done with propofol infusion via TCI pump Ce 4mcg/ml dose titrated throughout surgery to maintain BIS 40-60

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is gaining popularity due to less post operative ileus ,pain and shorter hospital stay.Post operative nausea and vomiting is the most common distressing side effect associated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy,and is left untreated it can cause post operative bleeding wound dehiscence,gastric aspiration and electrolyte imbalance.As per recent guidelines multimodal post operative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis is adviced.Many studies have shown that opioid free general anaesthesia itself helps reduce the incidence of PONV with fewer post operative side effects.
We hypothesize that in patients recieving opioid free general anaesthesia with propofol and dexmedetomidine the standard dual antiemetic prophylaxis may not be needed.There is limited body of work on this aspect of opioid free Anaesthsia.We aim to evaluate the need for single antiemetic agent or dual antiemetic agents as prophylaxis for post operative nausea and vomiting in patients posted for laparoscopic cholecystectomy under opioid free anaesthesia.
