Abstract
Transdermal hyoscine (Scopoderm, Ciba-Geigy) has been compared with placebo in 283 female patients. The hyoscine patch had no significant effect on postoperative nausea or vomiting. In contrast with earlier studies, there was no correlation between previous experiences of nausea (motion, pregnancy or surgery related) and nausea caused by the surgery or anaesthetic in this study. No correlation was found between nausea or vomiting and the type of operation.
