The aim of the study is to investigate if P6 acupuncture made after induction of general anaesthesia might be effective for the prevention of PONV as ondansetron and if the acupuncture-ondansetron combination could enhance single therapy efficacy in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
