Metoclopramide during emergency trauma surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This research study tests whether a medication called metoclopramide (used to stop nausea and vomiting), with or without a steroid called dexamethasone, can help people having emergency surgery after a serious injury. It looks at how quickly your stomach empties before surgery, which may reduce the risk of complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

You'll receive either ondansetron plus metoclopramide, or dexamethasone plus metoclopramide, and researchers will track how quickly you need rescue medication if nausea occurs.
