Beneficial effects from beta-adrenergic blockade in elderly patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is still common, especially among female patients. Our hypothesis is that coinduction with clonidine reduces the incidence of PONV in adult patients undergoing breast cancer surgery. METHODS:Sixty-eight women premedicated with midazolam were randomly allocated to coi...
