Summary

This study looked at 300 adults having outpatient surgery to see how often a condition called akathisia (a feeling of severe restlessness) occurs with two different anti-nausea drugs: Droperidol and Ondansetron. The goal was to find out if Droperidol causes more akathisia than Ondansetron. Participants received one of the drugs before surgery and were checked for restlessness 4 hours after waking up.
