This could be the case, because it seems that when taking the results from table 1 in the Cochrane review, 54 the RR after treatment was lower for vomiting than for nausea, and the results for ondansetron, dexamethasone, and droperidol are similar to those obtained in our current analysis (table 18).…”

Evaluation of a fast-track protocol for patients undergoing colorectal surgery

“…In keeping with that, functional recovery in this study was 2 days after sacrocolporectopexy, small bowel, ileo-colic, and segmental colectomy. Data on functional recovery in high-risk patients, after complex surgical procedures, such as extended colectomies and rectal cancer resections with associated prophylactic stoma and pelvic drainage, are limited (19). In this study, time to functional recovery was prolonged up to 4 days after rectal resection and subtotal colectomy.…”

A meta‐analysis of prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting: randomised controlled trials by Fujii et al. compared with other authors

“…Inclusion of data from Fujii et al in a systematic review of drugs for prevention of PONV leads to the following conclusions, derived from this article and the unpublished update of the Cochrane review [7]:…”
