Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether continuous infusion of palonosetron after its prophylactic single injection can further reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.
This purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of single and repeated doses of palonosetron hydrochloride in preventing nausea and vomiting caused by moderate and highly emetogenic chemotherapy in patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine if intra-abdominal irrigation at the time of cesarean delivery increased maternal GI discomfort without affecting infection rates. We hypothesized that avoiding intra-operative irrigation at the time of cesarean delivery will decrease intra-operative nausea and vomiting without increasing maternal infectious morbidity, post-operative pain, return of bowel function, or time to discharge.
A total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) is a useful anesthetic technique that reduces the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Investigator hypothesized the incidence of PONV can be further reduced when palonosetron is added to TIVA.
Ramosetron and palonosetron are more recently developed 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 receptor antagonists and this randomized double blind study was designed to compare efficacy of ramosetron and palonosetron to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting. Investigator hypothesized that palonosetron would have stronger and longer lasting antiemetic effect compared with ramosetron and evaluated the patients for the first 48 hours after surgery.
This study is being done to determine the efficacies of two preventative drug combinations for postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing neurosurgery. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of using aprepitant instead of ondansetron in combination with dexamethasone and promethazine for post-operative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis. By completing this comparison study investigators will determine the most efficacious drug combination which will allow us to enhance the overall comfort and satisfaction of neurosurgical patients in the immediate postoperative period.
Patients diagnosed with malignant glioma who are receiving temozolomide will be accrued in this open label, phase 2, randomized single institution trial of aprepitant in combination with ondansetron versus ondansetron alone for the prevention of acute and delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). Sixty-eight (68) patients will be randomized to each arm of the study.
Morbidly obese patients are at high risk for Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) after surgery and general anesthesia. The results of our observational study indicate that 42.7% of patients require medication to treat PONV in the first 24 hours after bariatric surgery despite our aggressive perioperative approach with triple prophylaxis. Common risk factors for PONV are the use of intraoperative narcotics and anesthetic gases. Preliminary results of multimodal postoperative analgesia in the first 24 hours lead to a reduction of narcotic consumption, desaturations and use of antiemetic medication. Our study hypothesis is that different types of anesthetics reduce PONV further. Patient would be randomly assigned to receive either our current intraoperative management or a narcotic free, total intravenous general anesthetic (TIVA). The investigators hope to improve patients' satisfaction by reducing PONV in the postoperative period.
Ondansetron, also known as Zofran, is a marketed compound used for the prevention of nausea and vomiting. This study, called a thorough QT study, will characterize the effects of a single intravenous (IV) dose of ondansetron on cardiac repolarization as compared to placebo. Moxifloxacin, a commercially available antibiotic known to cause a mild QT prolongation, will be used as a positive control and will be given orally. The cardiac repolarization will be measured by taking consecutive ECGs on a recording device known as a Holter monitor and measuring the QT interval at specified times. In addition, blood samples will also be taken at specified times and will be used to measure the amount of study medication in the body.
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of two different doses of IV palonosetron in the prevention of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting in MEC and HEC patients through 120 hours after start of chemotherapy in single and repeated chemotherapy cycles. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of IV palonosetron in pediatric patients and evaluate the pharmacokinetics of IV palonosetron in a subset of pediatric CINV patients.
