Postoperative pain and nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common complications following thyroidectomy. This prospective, double-blind study evaluated the efficacy of a single dose of dexamethasone in mitigating these postoperative adverse effects. Sixty patients undergoing thyroidectomy were randomized into two groups: a dexamethasone group and a control group. The dexamethasone group received a single dose of 8 mg intravenously, while the control group received saline. Postoperative pain was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS), and PONV was recorded. The results demonstrated that dexamethasone significantly reduced both postoperative pain and the incidence of PONV. These findings suggest that a single dose of dexamethasone is a simple, safe, and effective strategy for improving postoperative outcomes in thyroidectomy patients.
