Introduction: PONV affect 35% of the postoperative patients especially those who had general anesthesia. And
affect 65% of patients who had laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Ondansetron is one of most effective drugs used to

Aim of the work: To compare and evaluate the antiemetic effect and the safety of ondansetron, inhalational
isopropyl alcohol and super hydration on adult patients after laparoscopic appendectomy.
Patients and methods: This prospective double-blind study done on 240 patients admitted to surgical I.C.U after
