Clinical trials

The goal of this superiority randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to learn if one dual-drug arm increases patient comfort (time to needing rescue medication for nausea/vomiting) more effectively than the other in adults with Moderate-to-High PONV risk (Apfel score 2-4) undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder surgery). The main question this study aims to answer is: • Does Ondansetron plus Metoclopramide prolong time to first rescue antiemetic more than Dexamethasone plus Metoclopramide? Researchers will compare Group A (Ondansetron 4mg plus Metoclopramide 10mg IV) to Group B (Dexamethasone 8mg IV plus Metoclopramide 10mg IV) to see if Group A provides a longer time to first rescue medication. Participants will: * Receive their assigned, blinded drug group 5-10 minutes before general anesthesia induction. * Receive rescue Metoclopramide 10mg IV if they experience any vomiting or severe nausea * Be monitored for 24 hours post-surgery in the hospital * Report nausea severity at 2, 6, 12 and 24 hours post-surgery
