Filter by:This randomized controlled trial is to investigate if SmtO2-guided management on top of the usual care, compared with the usual care only, during laparoscopic hysterectomy significantly reduces the incidence of PONV.
Olanzapine has been used as prophylactic antiemetic for chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting. The project aims to evaluate the efficacy of olanzapine in combination with ondansetron and dexamethasone in patients at high risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting, with previous history of nausea and vomiting induced by prior chemotherapy, submitted to medium and large surgery.
Nausea and vomiting affects 25-30% of individuals in the post-operative period and can reach more than 70-80% in high-risk patients. inherited factors may play a significant role in individual susceptibility and clinical research on hereditary factors involved in the pathogenesis of Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting (CINV) is relatively new. The aim of this study is to investigate whether inter-individual differences related to PONV are associated with genetic factors. 300 patients will be evaluated in postoperative oncological surgeries. The peripheral leukocyte DNA will be extracted by the Salting Out Procedure method and processed to genotyping for 48 SNPs from 15 candidate genes by real-time PCR by the Taqman method. The possible associations with demographic data and factors related to surgery will be analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of ginger on the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing gynaecological surgery. Half the patients were given an oral dose of ginger preoperatively and half received placebo.
The study is comparing the difference between the use of Elequil Aromatabs versus standard of care practice treatments on Blood Marrow Transplantation patients.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV) affects 11 to 60 % of patients undergoing surgery and is a major cause of postoperative morbidity. Risk factors include female gender, non smokers, postoperative use of opioids and a past history of PONV. The simplified Apfel risk score is used to identify patients at risk for PONV. PONV prophylaxis is provided intraoperatively to patients with 2 or more risk factors. In spite of numerous drugs available, control of PONV remains a difficult task. Midazolam is a commonly used drug perioperatively for its anxiolytic and sedative properties. It decreases analgesic requirement and has also been found to have an antiemetic effect. This present study is designed to compare the prophylactic use of iv midazolam with a commonly used combination of dexamethasone-ondansetron in high risk patients (as defined by the modified Apfel score) undergoing laparoscopic surgeries.
This is a pragmatic randomized, multi-center, open-label randomized clinical trial, aimed to evaluate efficacy and safety of thalidomide in improving prevention of chemotherapy-induced delayed nausea and vomiting (CINV) in chemotherapy-naive patients after multi-cycle cisplatin-containing highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC) .
Local intra-articular injection of anesthetics (LIA) is increasingly used during knee arthroscopy for pain relief. The LIA can only be performed at the end of surgery as the knee joint is continuously flushed during the arthroscopy. As a consequence, an optimal analgesic effect is only obtained one hour after surgery and opiates are typically used as pain relief in the immediate postoperative period. Since these opiates have a number of side effects such as nausea, vomiting and drowsiness, other analgetic methods are desirable. Intravenous administration of lidocaine, a safe, inexpensive analgesic, is already used in major (abdominal) surgeries and might also be a promising method for pain relief in the first hour after knee arthroscopy, in anticipation of the onset of the analgesic effect of the LIA. The aim of this study is to verify if systemic administration of lidocaine has a beneficial effect on the pain immediately after knee arthroscopy. In addition, the effect of systemic lidocaine administration on postoperative nausea, vomiting and general patient comfort will be evaluated.
The researchers propose to study how functional nausea in adolescents may be characterized noninvasively by the use of multichannel electrogastrogram (EGG) and magnetogastrogram (MGG) recordings.
The drugs with both high potency and low side effects are preferred in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) which is a common problem. This prospective randomized study aimed to compare the efficacy of paracetamol on PONV in adults undergoing maxillofacial surgery.
