This study tests a drug called amisulpride, given through an IV (a tube in a vein), to see if it can stop post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in children after surgery. Nausea is feeling sick to your stomach, and vomiting is throwing up. The study is randomized, meaning patients are chosen by chance to get the drug or a fake drug. It is double-blind, so neither doctors nor patients know who gets the real drug.
- Length of Study: Participation lasts from the time of surgery to 48 hours after the drug is given.
- Eligibility: Children from full-term birth to 17 years old having certain types of surgeries.
- Compensation: None mentioned, but involves no costs for the drug or related care.
To join, kids must be having a surgery that lasts at least 30 minutes and is not an emergency. They should not have conditions that might make the drug unsafe, like certain heart conditions or other medications. This study helps find better ways to care for kids after surgery by trying to prevent nausea and vomiting.
