Filter by:PONV after intrathecal morphine, occurs up to 30-40 percent. The patients having TKR normally are female, obese and non-smoker which are risk factors for PONV. Recently, a multimodal approach, combining several means to minimize PONV, has found wide acceptance as a standard of care. In our hospital, most of the patients are supposed to fast after midnight The oral rehydration therapy reduce patients thirst and increase his satisfaction, but whether or not this method can reduce the incidence of PONV after low dose (0.2 mg) intrathecal morphine is not investigated yet. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of preoperative oral rehydration therapy on the incidence of PONV.
The purpose of this study is to describe the safety and tolerability and pharmacokinetics of a single intravenous administration of the new, Sulfobutyl Ether-7-Beta-Cyclodextrin (Captisol™) based, formulation in Healthy Adult Subjects.
This was an open-label, balanced, two-treatment, two-period, randomized sequence crossover bioequivalence study with a 7-day washout between periods. Each treatment was administered after an overnight (10 hours) fast.
The principal objective of this multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial is to evaluate whether 4 weeks of treatment with aprepitant will improve nausea as compared with placebo in patients with symptoms of chronic nausea and vomiting of presumed gastric origin.
The purpose of this study is to establish validated outcome measures for Postoperative Fatigue and Postoperative nausea, and to compare clinical impact of postanaesthetic symptoms during first week after Propofol or Desflurane based anaesthesia.
"The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is to see if giving dextrose fluid in the veins (IV) decreases the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in female urologic, gynecologic and breast outpatient surgery patients and at what blood surgery level. The reason for this study is that IV dextrose has been shown to decrease the incidence of PONV and the use of medications to treat PONV, while leading to sooner discharge after surgery. This can decrease overall healthcare cost and improving patient satisfaction."
Postoperative pain, nausea and vomiting (PONV) are the most common complications after anesthesia and surgery. Women undergoing mastectomy with axillary dissection are at a particularly high risk for the development of PONV and an incidence of 60-80% in patients receiving no antiemetic has been reported. Emetic episodes predispose to aspiration of gastric contents, wound dehiscence, psychological distress, and delayed recovery and discharge times. These justify the use of prophylactic antiemetics in women scheduled for mastectomy. Most of the currently used antiemetics, including antihistamines, butyrophenones and dopamine receptor antagonists have been reported to cause occasional undesirable adverse effects, such as excessive sedation, hypotension, dry mouth, dysphoria, hallucinations and extrapyramidal signs. Antiserotonins (e.g., ondansetron) are available for the prevention and treatment of PONV in patients undergoing various types of surgery [4]. However, the use of prophylactic antiemetic therapy with antiserotonins has been criticized for being too expensive. Dexamethasone was first reported to be an effective antiemetic regimen in patients receiving cancer chemotherapy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of dexamethasone treatment for reducing pain and PONV as well as analgesic and antiemetic requirements in women undergoing general anesthesia for mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection.
Delayed nausea is a common problem after high dose chemotherapy for bone marrow transplantation. This study wants to compare standard prophylactic anti-emetic therapy with the same treatment plus the drug aprepitant (Emend). The hypothesis is that addition of Emend will reduce nausea and vomiting.
GAND-emesis is a multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of a neurokinin1 receptor antagonist (fosaprepitant dimeglumine) in combination with an antiemetic (anti-nausea-and-vomiting) control regimen (palonosetron and dexamethasone) in patients with a gynaecological cancer diagnosis, who are scheduled to receive radiotherapy and weekly chemotherapy. The study aims at investigating if a three-drug antiemetic regimen is superior to a two-drug regimen (standard treatment) in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients receiving radiotherapy and weekly chemotherapy. A pilot study demonstrated that approximately 50% of patients will experience nausea and vomiting when offered a two-drug antiemetic regimen, and it is expected that addition of a third drug (a neurokinin1 receptor antagonist) can increase the proportion of patients with no vomiting in the course of combined chemo-radiotherapy.
Study Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of metoclopramide administration in bolus versus slow infusion medications in ED patients complaining of nausea for the determination of the therapeutic effect and prevention of akathisia. Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial. The investigation was held between 01 March 2007 and 01 May 2008, in the Emergency Department of Pamukkale University Faculty of Medicine. The patients with moderate to severe nausea randomized and divided into two groups as for the previously planned administration type of drug. Ten mg metoclopramide was administered in one group with slow infusion (SIG) in 15 minutes, via 2 minutes bolus infusion (BIG) into the other group. Whole procedure was observed, akathisia and nausea scores and vital changes were recorded.
