Brief Summary   Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common and distressing complication after middle ear surgeries. An incidence of up to 80% has been reported in literature undergoing middle ear surgery under general anesthesia. Various drugs have been used to prevent PONV. The 5-HT3 receptor antagonists are now a first line option because of effectiveness, more safety and favourable side effects profile. Ondansetron was the first 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. Palonosetron is the most recently introduced member of this class. It has unique chemical structure, the interaction pattern with the 5HT3 receptor is dfferent from earlier 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. Intravenous dexamethasone reduces the incidence of PONV by a central mechanism. Hence this study is designed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of palonosetron & dexamethasone and ondansetron & dexamethasone combination for prevention of PONV in middle ear surgery.
All selected patients will be randomized in to  2 groups (30 in each group) depending on the drug given.
Group O - Ondansetron (8mg) & Dexamethasone (8mg) I.V. prior to induction of anesthesia
Group P - Palonosteron (0.075mg) & Dexamethasone (8mg) I.V. prior to induction of anesthesia

Primary outcome - Incidence and severity of nausea and vomiting
Secondary outcome - Patient satisfaction score and requirement of rescue antiemetic

Statistical analysis will be done after completion of study.
