ABSTRACT
Sixty patients, undergoing major gynecologic surgery with lumbar epidural anesthesia, were randomly selected 32 patients to apply a transdermal scopolamine patch (Kimite MyoungMoon, Korea) on the skin behind one ear. We were divided into 2 groups. Control group; epidural morphine 4mg were given and not applied scopolamine patch. Experimental group; epidural morphine 4mg were given and applied transdermal scopolamine patch on the skin behind her ear at the night before surgery. They were followed up for 3 days postoperatively and statistical analysis was done. There was a significant (p<0.05) reduction in nausea and vomiting between experimental group and control group. There was no significant incresed incidence in scopolamine side effects. However, despite receiving transderrnal scopolamine patch there was still a high incidence (43.8%) of nausea and vomiting.
