The study is aimed to determine whether the multiple outcomes of ICU patients with acute pancreatitis could benefit from ondansetron.
d Ondansetron is a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 serotonin-receptor antagonist with antiemetic properties used inadvertently in the emergency department for controlling nausea. However, ondansetron is linked with a number of adverse efects, including prolongation of the QT interval. Therefore, the purpose of this meta-analysis was to assess the occurrence of QT prolongation in pediatri…
Strabismus surgery in pediatric patients is associated with a high incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Ondansetron disintegrating tablets (ODT), an oral freeze-dried formulation of the 5-HT3 antagonist, are well-tolerated and have been shown to reduce chemotherapy-induced vomiting. The purpose of this study was to assess the effi cacy of the ODT in preventing postoperative v…

We report here a case where ondansetron was used in severe hyperemesis gravidarum to avoid parenteral nutrition. The drug was used intermittently in every trimester with no apparent adverse effects on mo…
