Filter by:The purpose of the study is to determine if providing coffee to patients who self-identify as coffee drinkers postoperatively will decrease the length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU).
Perioperative intravenous fluid (IV) administration has been the standard procedure since 1832 and, is a widely used practice sometimes under inadequate criteria. The present work aims at verifying the clinical need that justifies the common IV fluid prescription on the postoperative (PO) period in patients undergoing videolaparoscopic cholecystectomy (CVL) elective.
This study is designed to examine the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting during 24 hours after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients receiving preoperative intravenous fluid loading (group F), ondansetron (group O) and receiving neither fluid nor ondansetron or control group (group C).
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.
To investigate the role of postoperative nausea and vomiting risk factors assessment after cardiac surgery. We designed a randomized controlled study comparing standard care (no risk factor assessment and no intervention) with prophylaxis of postoperative nausea and vomiting after cardiac surgery in high risk patients. Prophylaxis of postoperative nausea and vomiting by betamethasone (4mg) and/or droperidol (0.625mg) immediately after cardiac surgery, depending on risk factors (if risk score is over 2) in the intervention arm.
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subtenon block (SB)anesthesia with dexmedetomidine in combination with bupivacaine versus intravenous dexmedetomidine for postoperative analgesia and emesis control in infants undergoing cataract surgery.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting is very common in children undergone tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy. The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the antiemetic effect of super-hydration with 0.9% saline in children undergoing specifically elective otorhinolaryngological surgery. Fluid intake reduces vomiting as seen following extended period of fasting that interrupts the perfusion in gut. Based on this knowledge, we hypothesized that administration of supplemental fluid would reduce the incidence of postoperative vomiting.
The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of intraoperative intravenous dextrose in preventing POV in pediatric population undergoing dental day surgery. Post-operative vomiting (POV) in children is a frequent complication. Studies using intravenous (IV) fluids containing dextrose in the perioperative period have shown improvement of POV in adults. Similar studies have not been done in children. Knowing that Intravenous (IV) fluids containing dextrose are safe and commonly used in the paediatric population, this intervention could potentially reduce the amount of rescue antiemetic medications and improve recovery in same-day surgery paediatric patients.
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.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefit of addition of droperidol to prophylaxis with ondansetron and dexamethasone in children with high risk of postoperative vomiting (POV). In adults some authors showed that the effectiveness of prophylaxis is correlated to the number of molecules or specific procedures used.
