Filter by:Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common in patients, especially in patients at high risk. PONV may result in prolonged hospital stay and threaten patients' life. Because the etiology of PONV is very complex, there is an increasing focus on combining antiemetics from different classes for PONV prophylaxis. Fosaprepitant is a neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor antagonist to prevent PONV. Palonosetron is a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist with high efficacy and sustained action for PONV prophylaxis. Dexamethasone belongs to corticosteroid and also has the ability to reduce the incident of PONV. This study aims to use the combination of these three drugs in high-risk patients to test whether triple therapy is better than combination of palonosetron and dexamethasone to prevent PONV.
Aim: It has been aimed in this study to investigate the effects of hypnosis used to augment the conventional therapy on nausea, vomiting, rescue drug consumption and hospital stay in cases of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). Methods: This prospective randomised study was carried out with 41 inpatients diagnosed with HG. The patients were grouped as GH (n=18) given hypnosis and GC (n=23) not given hypnosis with the conventional therapy. Group H were hypnotized during two sessions and taught auto-hypnosis. Data on the patient demographics, VAS scores for severity of nausea, the numbers of vomiting per day, additional medications used and the days of hospital stay were recorded.
Cancer is a leading cause of death for children. Chemotherapy is the most common treatment for cancer. Notwithstanding the improved survival, children with cancer still have to face a significant amount of symptoms associated with chemotherapy. Two major symptoms induced by chemotherapy are nausea and vomiting. These two symptoms were demonstrated to cause serious disruption in patients' daily function and quality of life. Given these devastating impacts, intervening children with appropriate methods to alleviate nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy is therefore crucial. It is imperative for nurses to develop non-pharmacological interventions to reduce nausea and vomiting, with the goal of improving the QoL of children with cancer when undergoing chemotherapy First, however, careful assessment of nausea and vomiting in children with cancer is a necessary step towards designing appropriate interventions. This study aims to translate and validate an instrument (PeNAT) which can assess nausea and vomiting among Hong Kong Chinese children and adolescents undergoing chemotherapy
This is a quality improvement project that aims to assess the effect of nurse-driven administration of essential oil aromatherapy on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients while in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) after general anesthesia.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common and continue to be persistent problems following general anesthesia. Intranasal lidocaine has been used for the treatment of migraine. The theoretical basis for this effect of intranasal lidocaine on migraine relief is reported to be due to its action on the sodium receptors within the sphenopalatine ganglion. Although there is no reported association between PONV and migraines, injecting lidocaine within the sphenopalatine ganglion has proven to be effective in reducing PONV in endoscopic sinus surgery. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of intranasal 2% lidocaine in preventing PONV.
To determine the ability of electroacupuncture on PC6 versus sham acupuncture in reducing incidence of intraoperative and postoperative nausea vomiting in parturients who underwent Caesarean delivery under spinal anaesthesia
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the addition of P6 pressure point stimulation as opposed to sham-point stimulation will decrease intraoperative and postoperative nausea and vomiting (IONV and PONV) for patients undergoing non-emergent cesarean delivery. We hypothesize that the addition of stimulation of the P6 pressure point to our institutional current standard of care (phenylephrine infusion, intravenous fluid bolus, and as needed intraoperative ondansetron) will decrease the occurrence of intraoperative emesis.
Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting are common adverse events related to oncologic treatments. It can have deleterious effect on patients' quality of life and could lead to dose reductions and/or discontinuation of treatment. This study aims to quantify the prevalence of nausea and vomiting induced by highly emetogenic chemotherapy in patients who had adequate antiemetic prophylaxis, also to describe the epidemiologic profile and identify predisposing factors.
Single center, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial in patients who present to the emergency department (ED) with a chief complaint of nausea or vomiting. A total of 300 patients age 18-55 presenting to the emergency department with chief complaint of nausea or vomiting will be enrolled from February 2021 - February 2022. Patients will be randomized and symptom levels will be recorded at 30, 60, 90, minutes. Follow-up will be performed by telephone at 24 hours.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), represents a common condition after surgery and anesthesia. Acupuncture has been used for centuries for analgesia and quality of life improvement in addition to low cost. This study is a random control trial concerning the antiemetic efficacy of acupuncture associated with intravenous antiemetics in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, in comparison to patients under only antiemetic administration. One hundred patients were enrolled, regardless of their sex, age, and comorbidity and were randomly allocated in one of two groups. Both anesthesia and antiemetic medication were personalized according to each patient's medical history. In the study group, after anesthesia induction and before pneumoperitoneum application, a sterile stainless steel 0,25 x 25mm acupuncture needle was inserted bilaterally at the PC6 for 20 minutes, rotated manually clockwise and then anticlockwise every 5 minutes and then removed. Fisher's exact test was chosen for statistic evaluation. There were 8 PONV cases in the study group against 18 cases in the control group. Fisher's exact test highlighted a p-value of P=0,03, marking the difference between the two groups as statistically significant. Concluding, acupuncture presents a remarkable action against PONV after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LPC). Another remarkable trait of acupuncture is the safety that it offers during application without provoking severe adverse effects. Furthermore, reduced medical costs thanks to decreased postoperative use of antiemetic medication, decreased patients' hospitalization, and reduced re-hospitalization possibility have to be noted. Finally, it has to be mentioned that despite LPC is in general terms painless, the analgesic effects of acupuncture should not be disregarded
