Diagnosis of Serious Conditions Delayed in Association with Ondansetron Treatment for Vomiting in the Pediatric Emergency Department

CONCLUSIONS: Physicians assessing patients who had been treated with ondansetron as supportive care for vomiting at an earlier visit to the pediatric emergency department should consider alternative diagnoses despite initial clinical improvement. No definitive risk factor for readmission was identified, but a high level of alertness to a possible meningeal or acute abdominal source is imperative.PMID:36696025 | DOI:10.1007/s40272-022-00556-5
