Total intravenous anaesthesia versus single-drug pharmacological antiemetic prophylaxis in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis confirms the results from indirect comparisons in individual studies: instead of substituting inhalational anaesthesia with propofol-based TIVA, a similar antiemetic effect can be achieved by adding single-drug pharmacological prophylaxis to the inhalational anaesthetic. STUDY REGISTRATION: This systematic review with meta-analysis was registered at PROSPERO (www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO ), study number CRD42015019571.
