Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   Postoperative nausea and vomiting is common, but distressing complaint following general anesthesia. The PONV incidence as high as 60% to 80% in high risk patients when no prophylactic antiemetics used.
  In this modern era of surgery intraperitoneal instillation of drugs has become an important method to control postoperative nausea and vomiting and decrease the analgesic requirement. Intraperitoneal dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine has been used separately for prevention of PONV. However, there is no study to compare the effectiveness of these drugs alone or in combination for prevention of PONV and analgesic requirement via intraperitoneal route.
All selected patients will be randomized in to 4 groups (40 in each group) depending on the drug given
Group D1 -  received dexamethasone 8 mg intraperitoneally at the end of the procedure, before laparoscopic trocar withdrawal, in total volume of 20 ml
Group D2 - received dexmedetomidine 1 mcg/kg intraperitoneally at same time and same volume
Group D3 - received dexamethasone 8 mg and dexmedetomidine 1 mcg/kg at the same time and same volume
Group D4 - receive 20 ml normal saline at the same time

Primary outcome - incidence of post operative nausea and vomiting
Secondary outcome - Total paracetamol requirement in 24 hr post operative period

Statistical analysis will be done after completion of study
