Brief Summary

This study will investigate the impact of dimenydrinate (H1-receptor antagonist) versus ondansetron (HT3-receptor antagonist) in postoperative nausea and vomiting, in surgery-related preoperative stress and in the incidence of postoperative complications that could lengthen the LOS in PACU and/or the overall LOS.
