Filter by:The frequent incidence of postoperative vomiting and severe pain in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy, may delay postoperative oral intake and increase the risk of dehydration. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is of multi-factorial origin in this group of patients, with a reported incidence ranging from 23% to 73%. There is growing evidence that the perioperative administration of gabapentinin in adults is beneficial for preoperative anxiolysis, postoperative analgesia, reduction of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and delirium. Only few studies in literature explored the analgesic effects of preoperative gabapentin as premedication in pediatric population. However, the antiemetic effect of gabapentin in pediatric patients was not systematically investigated before.
We designed this randomized, double- blind, single-center study to compare the efficacy of the combination of dexamethasone with ondansetron and dexamethasone with dimenhydrinate undergoing plastic surgery.
Nausea and vomiting are the most common symptoms experienced by cancer patients after chemotherapy. Some patients have to endure such unpleasant symptoms even after using of antiemetic or anti-vomiting medications.The purpose of this study is to assess the therapeutic effects and safety of acupuncture for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting on patients with malignancy
This is a randomized prospective study to determine the optimal postoperative pain medication regimen for adults (18 years old and older) undergoing tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy for chronic tonsillitis and/or snoring and/or obstructive sleep apnea. All participants will undergo the same tonsillectomy surgical technique (with or without adenoidectomy) under general anesthesia and be randomized to one of three postoperative pain control regimens (all of which are commonly used pain medications for post-tonsillectomy pain): 1. Norco (Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen) 2. Percocet (Oxycodone and Acetaminophen) 3. Dilaudid and Tylenol (Acetaminophen) Participants will be discharged home the day of surgery and will be sent home with questionnaires to assess their daily pain level, oral intake, amount of nausea/vomiting, and amount of pain medications taken for the 14 days following their surgery. Data will be collected and analyzed to determine if there is a difference in pain levels or oral intake or nausea/vomiting in the different pain regimen groups. Secondary endpoints will include weight change from preoperative weight to weight at 2-3 weeks after surgery in addition to postoperative complications including visits to the Emergency Department and post-tonsillectomy bleed rates. Participants will be seen 1-2 weeks following their surgery in the ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) clinic per normal postoperative protocol and will not require any specific clinic visits related to this study.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients at high risk for postoperative nausea and vomiting can benefit from aprepitant, ondansetron and dexamethasone in the perioperative period.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of multiple dose regimens of relamorelin on vomiting episodes, gastric emptying and gastroparesis symptoms in participants with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus and gastroparesis. Study drug (relamorelin and placebo) will be administered subcutaneously in a blinded fashion.
Tonsillectomy is one of the most frequent surgical operations performed in children [1-4]. It is usually associated with postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) with an incidence ranging from 23% to 73% [2]. Dexamethasone has been shown to be effective in reducing PONV after tonsillectomy using standardized anesthetic technique [2, 5-7]. Previous studies utilizing a different technique, the pre-incision infiltration of local anesthesia, had shown to decrease post-tonsillectomy pain, reduce analgesic consumption and provide a rapid return to normal activity [8, 9]. Given the effectiveness of dexamethasone and the pre-incision infiltration anesthetic technique, it would be beneficial to compare the effect of each on PONV.
The purpose of this study is to compare the tolerability of Pregvit® to a common prenatal vitamin (Orifer® F) among pregnant women with morning sickness or those suffering from a variety of conditions.
This randomized, pilot study explores the activity of olanzapine with or without delayed dexamethasone for the prevention of delayed nausea and vomiting in women with gynecologic cancer receiving the combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel. Women treated with this regimen are particularly susceptible to chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Given anti-emetic prophylaxis with olanzapine may increase the control of delayed symptoms in women receiving carboplatin and paclitaxel.
At the child, the post-operative vomitings (POV) remain the main post-operative complication in term of frequency. They also represent the first cause of unforeseen hospitalization in day case surgery. The causes of POV are multiple, including in particular the post-operative prescription of opioids. The role of the premature refeeding remains discussed. Up to the age of 4 years, acute pain is difficult to distinguish from other causes of distress (anxiety, anger but also hunger) being able to make prescribe wrongly opioids in post-operative. The main objective of this study is to estimate the POV in pediatric day case surgery after early refeeding with clear liquids in the recovery room or only in the day case wards (usual practice). The secondary objectives are to estimate the time on returning to the day case ward, at home, the post-operative opioid consumption, early refeeding adverse effects (desaturation, swallowing trouble)
