Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: ondansetron is the only effective antiemetic to achieve the cessation of vomiting, avoid admissions and reduce the need for intravenous rehydration, being also safe in children with acute gastroenteritis.

Reviewers’ commentary: this study is a synthesis of evidence on the efficacy and safety of antiemetics to avoid admissions due to a common condition, such as vomiting associated with acute gastroenteritis. With a rigorous methodology it shows that the only drug that should be used is ondansetron.
