Filter by:Nausea is a common complaint in patients who present to the emergency department (ED). Although the number of conditions that can present with nausea are numerous, the mainstay of treatment has become intravenous ondansetron (Zofran), not only due to its rapid onset but also its availability. One of the major drawbacks to using this form is that it often needs to be redosed. This study aims to compare intravenous (IV) ondansetron alone versus IV ondansetron given with IV dexamethasone (Decadron) as another viable option when treating patients with nausea in the emergency department. Previous studies in patients undergoing surgical procedures have shown that when IV dexamethasone is given with IV ondansetron to post-operative patients they have less nausea and vomiting than ondansetron alone, and were even found to show decreased post-operative pain associated with nausea. It has also been shown to decrease the need to re-dose antiemetic medication. Although this combination has not been tested in the emergency department it is believed by these investigators that the additional use of dexamethasone may decrease the need to use repeated doses of ondansetron. The investigators believe this may change the way physicians currently approach the nauseated patient in regards to treatment. That rather than possibly giving multiple doses of one medication over and over to reduce a patient's nausea, physicians can give two medications together at one time. The investigators hope to demonstrate that by giving intravenous dexamethasone and ondansetron together, it may be possible to reduce the number of patients who need additional doses of nausea medication.
The study aims to investigate the prevalence and treatment of nausea and/or vomiting in patients with advanced cancer not receiving chemotherapy or irradiation.
Prospective, observational study evaluating the effect of olanzapine for the treatment of refractory chronic nausea and vomiting.
The aim of this randomized trial is to assess the efficacy of SPI-directed analgesia for vitreoretinal surgeries (VRS), presence of PONV and oculocardiac reflex (OCR) and compare Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) with Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) for monitoring pain perception postoperatively. Patients received general anaesthesia alone or combined with either preemptive analgesia using topical solution of 0,5% proxymetacaine or peribulbar block (0,5% bupivacaine with 2% lidokaine) or preemptive intravenous infusion of 1,0 g of metamizol or preemptive intravenous infusion of acetaminophen in a doseof 10-15mg/kg of body weight.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Palonosetron and Olanzapine without dexamethasone for the Prevention of moderate risk Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and vomiting.
To evaluate the effectiveness of a prophylactic dose of ondansetron in decreasing the incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting in cardiac surgery patients after cessation of post-operative sedation. In patients who have undergone open heart surgery, a single prophylactic dose of ondansetron 4 mg IV given at the time of discontinuing propofol sedation will result in a 50% reduction of the rate of post-operative nausea and vomiting in the first 24 post-operative hours compared to placebo.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of reducing intra-cesarean section nausea and vomiting with regional anesthesia in subjects who will receive scopolamine patch with acupressure point P6 stimulation versus subjects that receive just scopolamine patch versus subjects that receive just acupressure point P6 stimulation.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of acupressure point P6 stimulation versus intravenous ondansetron plus metoclopramide versus no antiemetic prophylaxis during elective cesarean section under regional anesthesia.
The use of opioid during surgery can cause side effects and may delay hospital discharge. Some studies have shown balanced sparing opioid anesthesia can optimize the side effects and and the time of discharge. In this compared controlled randomized study the aim is to evaluate the intraoperative and postoperative pain, hemodynamic effects, nausea/vomiting, postoperative ileus, sedation, urinary retention, time of discharge PACU Post anesthesia care unit and hospital.
Effect of intravenous versus intra-peritoneal dexamethasone on the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting following Laparoscopic gynecological surgeries.
