Two ways to give nausea medicine for weight loss surgery
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares giving ondansetron (a nausea medicine) through a vein versus injecting it near a nerve to prevent nausea and vomiting after weight loss surgery. It may help identify which method works best for patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
