Effect of Intranasal Dexamethasone on the Incidence of Nausea and Vomiting After Adult Strabismus Surgery.

The findings of the present study show that the intranasal use of dexamethasone with a dose of 8 mg compared to saline is associated with a decrease in PONV and postoperative pain, a decrease in the use of ondansetron and pethidine, and an increase in patient's satisfaction. Intranasal use of dexamethasone may be an effective and safe method, especially in cases where we do not have access to an intravenous line.
