Dexamethasone at Night vs at Induction on PONV After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Postoperative Pain Clinical Trial

Official title:
Dexamethasone At-induction vs At-night to Prevent Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Protocol for Randomized Clinical Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Since the peak effect of the dexamethasone is delayed to 12-16 hours after iv administration, we designed this study to investigate the effect of administering dexamethasone at-night before surgery versus at-induction (the standard timing) in prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A pilot randomized controlled study (60 cases) will be started to explore the potential difference, ensure correct and rigorous data collection, and calculate the sample size for a larger pragmatic trial.

Clinical Trial Description

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common complications after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of administration of prophylactic dexamethasone 12-hours prior to induction of anesthesia in preventing PONV after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, as it reaches its peak effect at 2-12 hours and lasts for 72 hours after intravenous (iv) administration. Methods: This is a parallel two-arm, randomized (1:1), double-blind, controlled, single-center trial. Adults (≥18 years) with American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical status I-III scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be eligible for inclusion. The participants will be randomized to receive either 8 mg IV Dexamethasone at time of induction of anesthesia or 8 mg IV Dexamethasone at 12 hours prior to induction of anesthesia. The primary outcome will be the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. A total of 60 patients will be recruited as a pilot study. ;
