Abstract
Comment: Strabismus surgery in children is associated with both pain and vomiting. Previous studies of strabismus surgery have evaluated the efficacy of antiemetics in reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting but have not compared different analgesics for emetic effects. Several studies have demonstrated the advantage of propofol infusion compared with an inhalation technique in reducing postoperative emesis,1,2 but, if opioid analgesia is administered, the beneficial effect of propofol is decreased. The present study shows that by using the nonopioid analgesic, ketorolac, analgesia, which is comparable with that of morphine, is achieved with a much lower incidence of nausea and vomiting in the first 24 hr.
