Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

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

Brief Summary   The incidence of post operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is variable & depends on the patient, as well as type of anaesthesia  and surgery. The incidence of PONV after middle ear & nasal surgeries has been reported to be 35-80 %. Ondansetron, a 5HT3 receptor antagonist, has been shown to be an effective prophylactic drug when administered either IV or orally in the form of orally disintegrating tablets. Orally disintegrating film (ODF) formulations are relatively recent innovations in drug administration.  This study aims to evaluate the effects of Ondansetron ODF on the incidence of PONV in adult patients undergoing middle ear and functional endoscopic sinus surgeries done under monitored anaesthesia care and to evaluate whether these findings can be extrapolated to its use in day care ear and nasal surgeries.
