About this study

Official title: Effects of Single Dose Dexmedetomidine or Dexmedetomidine Combined With Dexamethasone on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in Breast Cancer

Previous reports demonstrated that dexmedetomidine could reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Dexamethason also had been commonly used for ajuvant drugs for preventing and reducing PONV. So investigator want to study about the effect of dexmedetomidine only or combined with dexamethasone for preventing PONV.

Dexamethason also had been commonly used for ajuvant drugs for preventing and reducing PONV. So investigator want to study about the effect of dexmedetomidine only or combined with dexamethasone for preventing PONV.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Postoperative Nausea (Numeric Rating Scale for Nausea)

    Numeric rating scale for postoperative nausea (scores on a scale) (0-no symptoms; 10-worst symptoms imaginable). Ramosetron 0.3 mg was administered to patients with nausea >5 points on the numeric rating scale

    Measured: Changes from baseline in postoperative nausea at 30 min

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Postoperative Vomiting (Number of Participants With Vomiting)

    frequencies of vomiting (number of participants with vomiting) 24 hour post-operatively

    Measured: Changes from baseline in postoperative nausea at 30 min

  2. Rhodes Index Score

    Rhodes Index of nausea, vomiting, and retching at 6 to 24 hours after surgery (ask 8 question about discomfort due to PONV and each questions are consist of 0~4 score) (minimal PONV 0 to maximal PONV 32) lower values represent a bettwer outcome

    Measured: assessed at 6 and 24 hour after operative end
