Can Prophylactic Usage of Tropisetron Prevent Vomiting in Children after Straismus Surgery?

Abstract

Tropisetron is a new 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. The main objective of this study is to investigate efficiency of a single intravenous tropisetron administration for prevention of post operative vomiting in children after pediatric strabismus surgery. In a randomized, doubleblind and placebo-controlled trial, 40 children, aged 2-15 years, undergoing strabismus surgery were studied. Anesthesia induction was administrated by sevoflurane and nitrous oxide in oxygen or i.v.propofol. Patients intravenously received 0.1 mg/kg tropisetron or placebo after induction of anesthesia. The vomiting episodes were recorded during the first 24 hours after the surgery. Vomiting were seen in 25% of the cases (5 patients) in control group and in 15% of the cases (3 patients) in tropisetron group (p>0.05). Two or more vomiting episodes were recorded for three patients in the control group, but only two episodes were recorded for one patient in the tropisetron group during postoperative stage (p>0.05). Two patients in the control group needed metoclopramide while patients in the tropisetron group did not need it (p>0.05). It is suggested that tropisetron is more effective when compared to plasebo in controlling the incidence and frequency of emesis for children undergoing strabismus surgery.
