Article Abstract
Propofol and ondansetron, alone and in combination, have been associated with acute dystonic reactions during recovery from anesthesia. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman who had undergone microlaryngoscopic fat injection to the vocal folds three times over a period of 10 months. Each procedure was performed by the same surgeon. On each occasion, the patient received an identical anesthetic that was administered by the same anesthetist. The anesthetic regimen included propofol and ondansetron. Following the first procedure, the patient experienced no reaction to these agents. However, she experienced a mild reaction after the second procedure and a severe acute dystonic reaction after the third. We believe this is the first report of a graded reaction to either propofol or ondansetron.

Background Propofol is the most common induction agent used in current anesthesia practice. Patients receiving propofol injections commonly experience varying degrees of pain, creating an unpleasant anesthesia experience. Methods Seventy-two patients, aged between 18 and 70, scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia were randomized into two groups.

Introduction: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common distressing symptoms experienced after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We report the rate, and the factors associated with postoperative nausea and vomiting, the patterns of prophylactic antiemetic prescription, and the anesthetic techniques used among patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy at the Jigme Dorji Wangchuck (JDW) National Referral Hospital, Bhutan.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the JDW National Referral Hospital, from January to December 2018.

Article Synopsis
- Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common and negatively impact patients after thyroid and parathyroid surgeries; the study aimed to see if opioid-free propofol anesthesia could lower these occurrences.
- A randomized trial involving 394 patients showed that those receiving opioid-free anesthesia had a significantly lower rate of PONV (5%) compared to those with opioid-inclusive anesthesia (24%).
- Other benefits of opioid-free anesthesia included fewer rescue anti-emetic needs, reduced hypotension and desaturation post-surgery, and higher patient satisfaction, while slightly delaying tracheal extubation time.

Background And Aims: Squint surgery is a risk factor for postoperative vomiting (POV) in children. This study was designed to compare the incidence of POV in children undergoing strabismus surgery under balanced anesthesia with sevoflurane versus intravenous anesthesia with propofol.
Material And Methods: In this prospective randomized controlled study conducted in a tertiary care ophthalmology hospital, 70 ASA I-II children aged 1-12 years undergoing strabismus surgery were randomized to two groups -Group S (sevoflurane-based anesthesia) and Group P (propofol-based anesthesia) for maintenance.
Olanzapine versus standard antiemetic prophylaxis for the prevention of post-discharge nausea and vomiting after propofol-based general anaesthesia: A randomised controlled trial.

Background And Aims: Post-discharge nausea and vomiting (PDNV) is a pertinent problem in patients undergoing ambulatory surgery. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of the novel drug olanzapine, which has proved its efficiency in patients undergoing highly emetogenic chemotherapy for PDNV prevention.
Methods: This randomised controlled trial recruited 106 adult patients (18-65 years) undergoing highly emetogenic daycare surgeries with propofol-based general anaesthesia (GA).
