Interventions
The placebo arm will be given a dose of IV palonosetron only, and saline solution prior to surgery to see how this compares with the other combination.
Women/Men 18-55 scheduled for surgery 1-3 hours in duration will be given .075 mg IV Palonosetron (Aloxi) with 8mg IV Dexamethasone (Decadron) before surgery to see if this reduces PONV.
