Brief Summary  

We conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study to compare the efficacy of Ondansetron with Ramosetron in preventing early (0-24 hours) and delayed (24-48 hours) post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in 130 patients undergoing craniotomy under general anaesthesia.

The study was conducted after obtaining institutional ethical committee clearance and written informed consent from all patients. Thorough pre-anaesthetic evaluation was done, investigations were noted.

Patients were randomized into two groups, ondansetron group (control group) and ramosetron group (study group) of 65 patients each using a computer generated randomization table.

Patients in both the groups were administered general anaesthesia using the same anaesthetic protocol. Patients in control group were given Injection ondansetron 4mg IV while patients in study group received injection ramosetron 0.3 mg IV 30 minutes before closure of skin. 

In the post-operative period, patients were monitored for nausea, vomiting, pain and vital signs. Patients were closely monitored for 48 h and any complaint of nausea, retching, and vomiting or adverse drug effect was recorded by an independent observer (usually a Resident Doctor) who was blinded to the study. Inj. Metoclopramide (0.15 mg/kg I.V.) was administered as an additional rescue antiemetic in patients with two or more than two episodes of vomiting and/or significant nausea at any time within 48 hours of operation. Exact timing of the administration of the rescue antiemetic was recorded.

Patients in both the groups were found to be comparable in terms of age, height, weight, ASA status, nature of surgery (tumour/vascular), pre-operative heart rate and mean arterial pressure (MAP) with no statistical significance.

 Also, all the patients underwent craniotomies and the mean duration of anaesthesia and the mean duration of surgery were also comparable with no statistical significance.

The incidence and severity of delayed vomiting and retching were significantly lesser in Ramosetron group as compared to Ondansetron group.

So from our study we derive that Ramosetron is better than ondansetron at preventing delayed PONV (24-48 Hours) after craniotomy under general anaesthesia. However, both the drugs are comparable in preventing early PONV (0-24 Hours). The incidence of side effects is similar in Ondansetron and Ramosetron.
