Özet: Objective: The complaint of nausea and vomiting can be a symptom or result of many diseases. It may impair the comfort and even the general condition of the patient. Therefore, patients admitted to the emergency room expect to correct these complaints as quickly as possible. The most commonly used drugs for this are metoclopramide and ondansetron. Materials and Methods: In our study; a one-month period, 99 patients who presented to our emergency department with complaints of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea due to any disease were included (excluding trauma and cancer patients). It was noted how quickly the symptoms decreased when metoclopramide 10 mg or ondansetron 8 mg were administered intravenously. Results and Conclusion: After antiemetic application in the emergency room; We observed that the complaints disappeared more rapidly in patients treated with ondansetron than in patients treated with metoclopramide (mean 16/ minute, p<0,005).
