Post-operative Nausea and Vomiting Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Overnight Use of Electroacustimulation on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in the Outpatient Surgery Population
Postoperative nausea and vomiting after outpatient surgery are significant sources of
patient dissatisfaction. The prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) should
be equally as important as prevention of pain because both are large sources of patient
dissatisfaction and can necessitate admission after routine outpatient procedures.
None of the currently available pharmacological interventions are able to totally abolish
PONV. The use of electroacustimulation is a useful adjunct in prevention of PONV, but has
yet to be studied when the patient takes the device home with them after leaving an
outpatient facility.
The goal of this project is to perform a pilot study to determine if sending patients home
with the electroacustimulation device will decrease their PONV and subsequently increase
their overall satisfaction.
The primary outcome will be post-operative nausea and vomiting scores on a scale of 1-10
based on surveys which will be performed at 30m, 60m, 120m, and 24h post-op.
Secondary outcomes will be the amount of rescue nausea medications required by the patients,
time to discharge, subjective pain assessment and the impact of their symptoms on the
activities of daily living since being discharged from the surgery center based on survey,
and amount of narcotic received.
This project would also aim to reduce the amount of time patients spend in recovery
post-operatively, reduce hospital admissions secondary to persistent nausea and vomiting,
and educate students and trainees about alternative methods of treating and preventing
postoperative nausea and vomiting.
