Interventions: In the intervention arm, PONV prophylaxis (4 mg betamethasone with\/without 0.625 mg droperidol) was administered in high-risk patients (two or more risk factors). Patients in the control arm were treated as per routine hospital practices.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Female sex, past history of PONV, and migraines were associated with a significantly increased risk of PONV, while motion sickness, smoking status, and volatile anesthetics were not. Pain and treatment with nefopam or ketoprofen were associated with an increased risk of PONV. PONV was less frequent in the active arm compared to controls (45.5% vs. 54.0%,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.063; visual analogic scale 10.9 vs. 15.3 mm,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.043). Among the 180 patients (35.6%) with \u22652 risk factors, prophylaxis was associated with reduced PONV (intention-to-treat: 46.8% vs. 67.8%,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.0061; per-protocol: 39.2% vs. 69%,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.0002). In multivariate analysis, prophylaxis was independently associated with PONV (odds ratio [OR]: 0.324, 95% confidence interval: 0.167\u20130.629,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.0009), as were female sex, past history of PONV, and migraines (OR: 3.027, 3.031, and 2.160 respectively). No drug-related side effects were reported.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Betamethasone with\/without droperidol was effective in decreasing PONV in high risk cardiac
