Postoperative nausea, retching, vomiting, therapy, unplanned admission overnight stay hospital recorded. Overall 64% group E 39% Croup P (P < 0.05). Incidence 67% Group 34% Metoclopramide requested by 62% E, 32% those 0.05); 21% the admitted overnight, while only 5% required unscheduled We conclude that is superior it associated less requirement medication, a lower probability after day-care gynaecological surgery.
