Data collected using check list. One way Anova and Chi-square tests were used to compare mean qualitative and frequency of qualitative variables. The level of statistical significance was set at P< 0.05.
Results: There were significant differences in mean score of surgeons, and patients, comfort, mean severity of nausea after surgery and mean score of pain between 3 groups (P<0.001). There was no significance difference in frequency of vomiting after surgery between 3 groups (P=0.33)
