View clinical trials related to Postoperative Nausea.
Filter by:Postoperative imaging after neurosurgical intervention is usually performed in the first 72 hours after surgery. Postoperative radiological examinations in the first 72 hours provide accurate assessment of postoperative resection status. On the other side is frequently reported by patients that the earlier postoperative examinations after craniotomy for tumor and vascular procedures are associated with distress, exertion, nausea, and pain. Therefore, psychological and physical stress on the patient could be a potential disadvantage of earlier (up to 36 hours postoperatively) follow-up. The goal of this study is to evaluate and determine the optimal time frame for postoperative imaging with MRI and CT in terms of medical and neuroradiological implications and patient's subjective stress. The primary endpoint of the study is the extent of subjective distress due to postoperative MRI and CT monitoring in relation to the time interval after surgery Data will be prospectively collected from all patients aged 18 to 80 years who receive postoperative MRI or CT follow-up after craniotomy for resection of a cerebral tumor (benign and malignant) or vascular surgery. This study determines, whether a timing of postoperative imaging can improve patient satisfaction and reduce pain, stress and discomfort caused by postoperative imaging. The outcome corresponds to the value-based medicine approach of modern patient-centred medicine. Results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and electronic patient data will be safely stored for 15 years.
The patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be allocated to 3 groups. Group A and B patients will listen to a positive message under general anesthesia. Group C patients will not listen to the message. The postoperative pain, analgesic consumption and frequency of nausea, vomiting and emergence agitation episodes will be documented and compared between the 3 groups.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of IV acetaminophen for postoperative pain management after laparoscopic cholecystectomy to determine if its use to supplement standard of care pain management decreases the incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting.
