Filter by:To evaluate the feasibility of a pragmatic, large scale, comparative effectiveness, randomized evaluation of patient experience of intravenous propofol versus inhaled volatile anesthesia.
Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of essential oils from plants for the improvement of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Healthcare providers play an important role in improving the care of patients with nausea. Aromatherapy is a complementary therapy that may help with post-operative nausea in the adult post-operative bariatric patient population. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of aromatherapy intervention on nausea levels with post-operative bariatric patients once they are on the surgical unit.
Robotic-assisted hysterectomy is an alternative to laparoscopic surgery as part of a minimal invasive regimen. Several treatment strategies are followed to improve the overall outcome and minimize surgical stress. Glucocorticoids provide significant analgesic and antiemetic effects but its role in a fast-track, multi-modal setting is not settled when discharge is planned within 24-36 hours. This study will evaluate in a randomized trial the effect of a single dose of 24 mg dexamethasone on women undergoing robotic-assisted hysterectomy with regard to surgical stress measured by c-reactive protein as primary outcome and, further, other stress markers like white blood cells, Il-6, cortisol, and creatinine kinase. The postoperative recovery will be registered in validated charts and questionnaires for pain and analgesic use, quality of recovery, incontinence, sexual and work life. Furthermore, in a sub-analysis, transcriptional profiling will be applied to explore, which parts of the innate and cellular immune system is activated to explore the mechanisms of surgical stress response. The hypothesis is that women undergoing robotic hysterectomy would benefit from peroperative glucocorticoid treatment on important life qualities like pain, fatigue, freedom of medications and resuming work and sexual activities. Further, future adjuvant peroperative regimens may be able to target the stress response in a more appropriate way
This study will look at the incidence of post-spinal shivering (PSS) among the obstetrics population and will investigate whether higher operation theater (OT) temperature range or/and IV Ondansetron are able to reduce the incidence of PSS. This is a double-blind, randomized, factorial study, patients will be grouped into 4 groups - LP, HP, LO, HO (L= low-temperature range, H= high-temperature range, P= placebo, O=Ondansetron). All patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia will be recruited, and it will be conducted in obstetrics OT.
Overall incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after general anesthesia is 40-90 % . gabapentin has been incorporated into "fast-track" packages and improved recovery during surgery protocols to avoid unintended side effects associated with opioid alternatives. Interestingly, gabapentin has also been noted to reduce the effects of chemotherapy-induced nausea, effective in treatment of gravidarum hyperemesis, and postdural puncture emesis. Different dosing regimens were tested.The goal of the study is to determine the most effective dose of oral gabapentin given 1 hour prior to surgery on the occurrence and severity of PONV and drug side effects in the first 24 hours postoperatively to find the most effective dose of gabapentin with the least side effects.
This study is designed to see the effect of low dose intrathecal morphine on promting enhanced recovery after cesarean delivery with early ambulation and reduction of hospital stay.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of Dexamethasone on postoperative pain and nausea after hip arthroscopy.
Intrathecal morphine causes intense itching which is very bothersome. Nalbuphine antagonizes this effect when given intravenously. This trial is to find out if nalbuphine added to intrathecal morphine has an effect on morphine related pruritus while still maintaining adequate analgesia.
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of palonosetron versus ondansetron to reduce and control post-operative nausea in bariatric surgery.
Patients with BMI >35 and chronic diseases or BMI >40 will be scheduled to receive Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG). Two groups are planned according to receive Enhance recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol or not. All participants will receive standard LSG. Participants of ERAS will receive anesthesia and post-surgical nutrition protocol which are determined for ERAS. All patients will be checked for status of pain with VAS score, nausea and vomiting with PONV score at postoperative 2nd hour, 12th hour. In ERAS group liquid oral intake will be started between postoperative 2nd and 4th hours. In no ERAS group liquid oral intake will be started in the morning of postoperative first day. The patients who provides discharge criterias will be discahrged. these criterias are; To provide adequate pain relief with paracetamol and nonsteroidal painkillers, No wound problem, No complications after surgery, Pulse rate <90 beats / min, temperature ≤ 37 · 5 ° C, respiratory rate, <20 breaths / minute, To be able to mobilize easily, To be able to drink 1 liter of water after surgery. Emergency admissions of the participants within a month after surgery will be recorded.
