Assessment of the effectiveness of PC 6 "Neiguan" with conventional acupuncture for preventing PONV (PostOperative Nausea and Vomiting) after laparoscopic surgery.
Utilizing acustimulation, the effect of PC 6 "Neiguan" (acupuncture point Pericardium 6) has been studied in PONV . Conventional acupuncture has not been tested yet in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The incidence of postoperative vomiting during the first 24 hours is the main outcome. Secondary outcomes include: complete response rate, total rescue ondansetron dose used and patient satisfaction with PONV management.
