Filter by:The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of intraoperative intravenous dextrose in preventing POV in pediatric population undergoing dental day surgery. Post-operative vomiting (POV) in children is a frequent complication. Studies using intravenous (IV) fluids containing dextrose in the perioperative period have shown improvement of POV in adults. Similar studies have not been done in children. Knowing that Intravenous (IV) fluids containing dextrose are safe and commonly used in the paediatric population, this intervention could potentially reduce the amount of rescue antiemetic medications and improve recovery in same-day surgery paediatric patients.
PONV (Postoperative nausea and vomiting) is one of most common complications after general anesthesia. Female sex, history of PONV, motion sickness, nonsmoker status, use of volatile agents, duration of anesthesia, opioid administration and laparoscopic surgery are known as risk factors for developing PONV. In consequence, patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery are at high risk for developing PONV. Most of these patients use fentanyl based IV-PCA. And it also causes PONV. So, we should prevent PONV in these patients by using multimodal or combination therapy. Aprepitant is a NK1 receptor antagonist.And it is used to prevent chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting. Many studies using aprepitant to prevent PONV are in progress. In this study, we investigate the effect of combining aprepitant with ondansetron in high-risk patients for PONV.
Observation on acupoint electric stimulation combined with tropisetron in preventing and treating nausea and vomiting and improving the patient's appetite after TACE for primary or metastatic liver cancer patients.
The purpose of the study is verify the capability of a standardized Ginger (Zingiber officinale) extract to manage nausea in cancer patients receiving highly emetogenic treatments and standard anti-emetogenic therapy.
The investigators want to test if it is indicated to associate dexamethasone and ondansetron in obese patients having bariatric surgery under total intra-venous closed-loop anesthesia.
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the influence of somatic symptom load and anxiety sensitivity as risk factors for the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Physiological and psychological variables are assessed in female patients with an increased risk for PONV prior to a planned surgical intervention with a 33-item questionnaire composed of the ASI-3 and the PHQ-15. Postoperative evaluation includes the occurrence of nausea and vomiting in the first 24 hours after surgery. It is hypothesized that patients with high sum scores for somatic symptom load (measured with the Patient Health Questionnaire, PHQ-15) and with increased levels for anxiety sensitivity (measured with the Anxiety Sensitivity Index, ASI-3) experience more frequently postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) than patients with low scores in both self-rating instruments.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of intravenous fosaprepitant therapy to reduce nausea and vomiting during the treatment of high dose interleukin-2 (HD IL-2) therapy for metastatic melanoma or metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Fosaprepitant is an intravenous (IV) medication that is FDA- approved for use in adults for the prevention of nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy. Fosaprepitant works by blocking the neurokinin-1 receptor, which is a receptor in the brain that is known to cause nausea and vomiting. Past studies estimate that up to 70% of patients undergoing treatment with HD IL-2 will have nausea and/or vomiting. While fosaprepitant has been used in clinical practice to treat nausea and vomiting during HD IL-2, there have not been any studies done to see how well it works. All patients will receive treatment (IV fosaprepitant) during the study during either the first or second hospital admission for HD IL-2. On the admission that the subject is not receiving IV fosaprepitant, the subject will receive placebo (a medicine that looks like fosaprepitant, but is not active). The study is double-blinded, which means neither the subject, nor the study doctor will know to which group you have been assigned to that admission (IV fosaprepitant or placebo). This study design was chosen to limit the potential for bias, which means the trial was designed to try to ensure that unknown factors do not affect trial results. When patients start the study, patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: those who receive treatment (IV fosaprepitant) first and those who receive placebo first. During the first admission, subjects will be given the IV fosaprepitant or IV placebo during admission. During the second admission, subjects will 'crossover' and receive the other treatment that they did not receive during the first admission. Improvement in nausea and vomiting will be assessed by counting the number of nausea and vomiting episodes, recording if the subject needs additional medication for nausea and vomiting, and by using patient questionnaires.
The primary objective is to determine if the administration of a single dose of oral ondansetron (an anti-vomiting medication), compared to placebo, results in a reduction in intravenous (IV) rehydration therapy in children presenting for emergency department care with some dehydration, vomiting and diarrhea in Pakistan. SOME Dehydration is defined as 2 or more of the following signs and symptoms: - Restlessness, irritability - Sunken Eyes - Drinks eagerly, thirsty - Skin pinch goes back slowly

The results on the efficacy of the formulations based on alginic acid are controversial. Corvaglia et al demonstrated a significant reduction in reflux episodes in preterm infants by evaluation with pH-impedance analysis. This study concludes that the use of alginic acid reduces the acidity of the gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and has a non-systemic effect and a lesser presence of side effects compared to the use of H2-receptor antagonist(H2RA) and proton pump inhibitor (PPI).
