Filter by:This study aims to estimate the effect of the practice of a short-term partial fasting compared to a usual alimentation on nausea and vomiting within 5 days after the start of a chemotherapy session on 2 successive chemotherapy courses (4 sessions of chemotherapy) in patients starting treatment with highly emetogenic chemotherapy (ABVD or AVD protocol).
Spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section is the most commonly used anaesthetic choice in caesarean deliveries. This is usually associated with maternal hypotension and other adverse side effects. Prophylactic intravenous administration of ondansetron immediately and 5 minutes preoperatively have shown to provide a protective effect against hypotension while other studies have shown little effect on the incidence of blood pressure drop in healthy parturients. The investigators will study the effect of different doses and timing of intravenous ondansetron in full term obstetric patients undergoing elective lower segment caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia on the incidence and severity of hypotension and other adverse side effects in healthy parturients having the standard intrathecal plain bupivacaine and fentanyl.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of peppermint oil upon incidence of nausea, vomiting and retching, nause severity, and the usage amount of antiemetics in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
The overall goal of this study is to explore the effectiveness of using acupuncture versus aromatherapy, in conjunction with standard of care anti-emetics, to decrease chemotherapy induced nausea, vomiting, and anxiety in breast cancer patients undergoing Adriamycin and Cytoxan. This study also aims to determine if aromatherapy and anti-emetics is more effective than acupuncture and anti-emetics in treating nausea, vomiting, and anxiety in patients receiving Adriamycin and Cytoxan and if acupuncture and anti-emetics is more effective than aromatherapy and anti-emetics in treating nausea, vomiting, and anxiety in patients receiving Adriamycin and Cytoxan.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common complications after surgery. Patients undergoing orthognathic surgery are reported to have a high rate of PONV, especially those undergoing bimaxillary surgery. Activation of cholinergic system plays an important role in the development of PONV. Penehyclidine is an muscarinic antagonists which selectively block M1 and M3 receptors and is commonly used to decrease oral secretion. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study is to investigate whether use of penehyclidine is associated with a reduced risk of PONV in patients undergoing bimaxillary surgery.

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) adversely affects patients' quality of life and may affect patients' treatment decisions. The emetogenicity of the chemotherapy administered and specific patient characteristics such as female gender, age, and history of low alcohol intake can increase a patients' risk for CINV. GERSC is a new, subcutaneously (SC) administered polymeric formulation of Granisetron that was developed to provide slow, controlled, and sustained release of Granisetron to prevent both acute and delayed CINV associated with moderately emetic chemotherapy (MEC) and highly emetic chemotherapy (HEC)
Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in women undergoing subarachnoid anesthesia for Caesarean section is an important clinical problem. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of oral carbohydrate loading to standard pre-operative fasting in patients undergoing elective cesarean section on the incidence and severity of PONV and biochemical parameters indicating ketosis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a 3-day intravenous (IV) fosaprepitant dimeglumine (MK-0517) regimen for the prevention of CINV in pediatric participants scheduled to receive emetogenic chemotherapy. Each participant was enrolled in Cycle 1 (on which the primary study objectives were based), consisting of the 3-day treatment cycle and 14 days of follow-up for a total of 17 days.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV) refers to at least one nausea, retching or vomiting after operation, or any combination of the above symptoms. The incidence of PONV in high-risk patients can reach 61%-79%. PONV can not only cause dizziness and headache, but also cause disturbance of acid-base balance of water and electrolyte, wound dehiscence, formation of incisional hernia, aspiration, and aspiration pneumonia, leading to prolonged hospitalization, increased medical expenses, and reduced surgical satisfaction. At present, the guidelines for prevention and treatment of PONV and the consensus of experts suggest that identifying high-risk patients according to Apfel risk score ≥3 points, reducing baseline PONV risks, and implementing multimodal PONV prophylaxis. However, the incidence of PONV in high-risk patients is still as high as 20% even if 2-3 drugs are combined used for prevention and treatment. It is difficult to further reduce the incidence of PONV by adding different kinds or dosages of drugs, while drug-related side effects are increasing gradually. Acupuncture (electroacupuncture, transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulationTEAS, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, etc.) is a safe, effective, non-toxic side-effect non-drug treatment method. A large number of studies have confirmed that acupuncture can reduce the incidence of PONV, and it is expected to become an important supplement to drug treatment of PONV, but there are quality defects such as small sample size, inaccurate intervention and so on. At the same time, most acupuncture studies aim to compare the efficacy of PONV with drug therapy, without considering the clinical situation, using acupuncture treatment based on drug standard treatment to further reduce the incidence of PONV, thus limiting the clinical application value of acupuncture. On the basis of standardized drug prevention and treatment of PONV, TEAS will be used to further reduce the incidence of PONV and promote rapid recovery of patients. This study will strongly demonstrate that acupuncture can break through the bottleneck of drug treatment and provide evidence for the application of acupuncture in modern perioperative clinical medicine.
