Postoperative Nausea & Vomit in Strabismus Surgery

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a major concern in paediatric inpatient surgery and may increase patient discomfort, delay patient discharge, and increase the cost of patient care. The incidence of PONV after strabismus surgery is relatively high, compared with other inpatient surgeries, particularly in children. Oculocardiac reflex (OCR) is a phenomenon defined by bradycardia or dysrhythmia during strabismus surgery. Oculocardiac reflex is commonly caused by the traction on the extraocular muscle (EOM), which, through the ophthalmic branch of trigeminal nerve, stimulates the vagal center. The afferent arm of the reflex is the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve, and the efferent arm is the vagus nerve, which diminishes sinoatrial node impulses and leads to bradycardia.While there is a general consensus regarding the role of unmodifiable risk factors for PONV, including the number of muscle and the occurrence of Oculocardiac reflex or not, the role of modifiable risk factors, such as duration of surgery and anesthesia and perioperatively administered medications, is still disputed. In the present study, the investigators evaluated whether these factors may be associated with postoperative nausea and vomiting after paediatric strabismus surgery while controlling for a range of covariates.

Clinical Trial Description

The primary outcome was incidence of PONV that occurred within 3 days after the operation. The investigators defined PONV as a presence of either nausea or vomiting. In study hospital, it was routine for nurses to assess and record nausea and vomiting every 8 hours for all postoperative patients during postoperative 3 days. Accordingly, the investigators retrospectively collected the presence of PONV from electrical medical records. If patients had discharged hospital within postoperative 3 days, the incidence of PONV was assessed solely during hospital stay. The data, collected included information regarding age at surgery, gender, and type of strabismus. During strabismus surgery, the number and sequence of the operated muscles, HR before traction of the EOM (baseline HR), maximum decreased HR after traction of the EOM, HR at maximum recovery from decreased HR and maintained during traction of the EOM (adrenergic HR), and HR at the cutting of the muscle, were collected. Oculocardiac reflex was defined as a decrease in HR greater than or equal to 20% rather than maximum at first traction of the muscle. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
