An easy and fast Fourier transform continuous cyclic voltammetric technique (FFTCV) for monitoring of ultra trace amounts of cyclizine in a flow-injection system has been introduced in this work. The potential waveform, which was applied continuously on an Au disk microelectrode (12.5 microm in radius) consisted of the potential steps for cleaning, accumulation and potential ramp. The proposed ...

BACKGROUND Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is common, especially following gynaecological surgery. Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is frequently complicated by nausea. We assessed PONV, pain and sedation in patients receiving cyclizine or droperidol during PCA following abdominal hysterectomy in a double-blind trial. METHODS Thirty women were randomised to receive either cyclizin...
