Surgery drug side effect showdown: which Anti-Nausea med causes less restlessness?

NCT ID NCT01942343

Summary

This study compared two common anti-nausea medications given during outpatient surgery to see which one causes fewer cases of akathisia—an uncomfortable feeling of restlessness. Researchers followed 300 adults at risk for post-surgery nausea to track who developed this side effect. They tested two doses of droperidol against ondansetron to find the safer option for preventing nausea without causing restlessness.
