Brief Summary: Postoperative pain, the great concern for the patients undergoing spine surgery, has led to common use of opioid-based intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) postoperatively. Opioid-based IV-PCA offers better pain control, which could facilitate early recovery, rehabilitation and increase patient satisfaction. However, its use inevitably increases the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), another great discomfort, as high as 80% in patients with multiple risk factors.Therefore, there have been consistent efforts to prevent PONV with multimodal therapies such as risk stratification, modification and preventive use of antiemetics.

Of all antiemetics, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT3) antagonist, especially ondansetron, is most commonly used and extensively studied to reduce PONV because of its efficacy and fewer side effects.\[8\] However, its efficacy is not quite satisfactory when it comes to PONV associated with opioid-based IV-PCA. Recently, there are many reports comparing the antiemetic efficacy between ondansetron and the 2 newly developed 5-HT3 antagonists, ramosetron and palonosetron. Ramosetron is known to have a higher affinity and longer duration of binding to 5-HT3 receptor, therefore exhibits potent and sustained anti-emetic effect than previously developed 5-HT3 antagonists.Palonosetron has a unique allosteric binding to the 5-HT3 receptor, which brings a higher affinity, longer duration of action and longer elimination half-time.According to the previous studies, both ramosetron and palonosetron showed superior antiemetic efficacy for PONV associated with opioid-based IV-PCA to ondansetron as expected by their theoretical advantages. However, it has never been evaluated which one has superior antiemetic efficacy for opioid-based IV-PCA associated PONV. Therefore, in this study, we tried to evaluate the relative antiemetic efficacy of ramosetron and palonosetron in controlling opioid-based IV-PCA related PONV.
