Dexamethasone vs sugammadex for nausea prevention
This trial tests whether a drug called sugammadex reduces the effectiveness of dexamethasone, a medicine given to prevent nausea and vomiting after surgery. It may help doctors understand how to better prevent postoperative nausea for patients with risk factors.
