The intragastric balloon appears attractive for a group of patients who do not respond to medical therapy and who are not surgical candidates. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are distressing adverse effects for these patients. Midazolam has been used as an antiemetic, both as a preventive or rescue medication. The study aims at studying effect of combined use of ondansetron and midazolam to decrease the PONV following intragastric balloon insertion...

The manufacturer's instructions were followed in positioning the device. Heliosphere Bag positioning was performed, after diagnostic endoscopy, under unconscious sedation...
