Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of two antiemetic drugs, palonosetron and ondansetron, when given alongside dexamethasone as a preventive measure against early and delayed postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in adult and adolescent patients with idiopathic scoliosis undergoing posterior spinal fusion surgery under total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). The main questions the study aims to answer are: - How effective is palonosetron compared to ondansetron, both combined with dexamethasone, in preventing PONV after scoliosis surgery? - Are there any differences in the need for rescue antiemetics, occurrence of adverse effects related to the study drugs, and patient satisfaction between the two treatment groups? Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to receive either palonosetron or ondansetron in addition to dexamethasone as part of their anesthesia and antiemetic regimen. The incidence and/ or severity of nausea, vomiting and retching will be assessed at 1 hour, 4 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after surgery.
The feasibility of using an electronic tool to measure pain, nausea, and vomiting after surgery in English or Spanish-speaking pediatric cancer patients.
This study is to explore the relationship between intravenous infusion of dextrose during emergence from anesthesia and the incidence of PONV in patients undergoing gynecology laparoscopy (GL).
The aim of this prospective observational study is to detect rebound pain and related factors in postoperative patients with total knee arthroplasty.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of self acupressure and acupressure applied by therapists on pain, nausea-vomiting, and mental well-being in oncology patients. For this purpose, 93 individuals with stage 1-stage 3 cancer will be included in the study. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Is acupressure effective on pain, nausea-vomiting and mental well-being in oncology patients? Is there a difference in the effectiveness of self-acupressure and acupressure applied by therapist on pain, nausea-vomiting and mental well-being? The participants will be included in the study as three groups, namely the self-acupressure group, the acupressure group applied by the therapist, and the control group. Self-acupressure participants will self-administer acupressure. In the acupressure group, which will be applied by the therapist, acupressure will be applied to the participants by researchers who have acupressure certificate. In the control group, acupressure etc. No additional application will be made. Visual analog scale, nausea-vomiting and retching index, and mental well-being scales will be applied to all groups at the beginning of the study and three days after the study.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the most common and distressing postoperative complications. PONV risk assessment is recommanded to determine the number of medications or strategies for prophylaxis. Many well-known risk factors have been determined. However, no study has explored liver surgery-specific risk factors. This study aims to identify whether there was an association between portal vein occlusion and PONV among patients after liver surgery. Patients diagnosed with liver cancer and undergoing hepatectomy will be prospectively consecutively recruited. All enrolled patients receive PONV assessments within the first 24 postoperative hours. Logistic regression models will be used to investigate the effects of portal vein occlusion and the other variables on the occurrence of PONV in both univariate and multivariate analyses
Background: Highly selective α-2 agonist dexmedetomidine in increasingly used as an intrathecal adjuvant for caesarean section performed under subarachnoid block. Aim of the Study: The aim of the study is to determine whether low dose dexmedetomidine added to local anesthetic for spinal anesthesia will attenuate perioperative nausea and vomiting and shivering in lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) with minimal hemodynamic instability or not. Patients and Methods: Sixty parturients planned for elective CSs under spinal anesthesia were enrolled in this prospective controlled study and randomly divided into two equal groups. Spinal block was achieved with 10mg hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% plus 5µg dexmedetomidine (group D) (dexmedetomidine group) or 0.2 ml normal saline (group C) (control group). Hemodynamic parameters, incidence of nausea and vomiting and shivering were recorded. Keywords: Dexmedetomidine, Cesarean Section, Bupivacaine, Spinal Anesthesia, Shivering, PONV
As a result of the literature review, it has been seen that it has not yet been clarified whether cold application methods are effective on postoperative nausea and vomiting, and academic studies on this subject are needed. The aim of the planned study was to conduct a randomized controlled experimental study to evaluate the effect of the cold application method on nausea and vomiting and the need for antiemetic drugs in the early postoperative period. The research hypotheses are as follows: H1:Cold application method reduces nausea and vomiting in the early postoperative period. H1:The cold application method reduces the need for antiemetic drugs in the early postoperative period. H1:Cold application method in the early postoperative period increases patient satisfaction. Condition or disease: Postoperative nausea and vomiting,Postoperative antiemetic use status,Patient satisfaction,Effects of cold application method Intervention/treatment: There is an intervention group in which the cold application method is applied.
Cancer is an important health problem in the world and in our country, and it ranks second among the causes of death in our country (20.7%). Chemotherapy, one of the most commonly used methods in cancer treatment, causes many physical and emotional symptoms while treating the disease. Nausea-vomiting is a common problem in cancer care, especially in patients receiving chemotherapy. In the literature, there are studies examining non-pharmacological interventions for the prevention and management of nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy, and it is seen that the interventions are mostly within the scope of complementary and alternative approaches. Patients receiving ambulatory chemotherapy may experience anticipatory nausea in particular, and this is likely to affect the individual's comfort level. In studies conducted in the field, the comfort level of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy was determined as moderate. Today, mandalas are used effectively in the field of art therapy. The possibility of using mandala in all age groups has contributed to the treatment process of different diseases and disorders, and its effectiveness has been presented to the scientific world with many researches around the world. In adults, the mandala has been used both in the treatment of psychiatric disorders and as a tool to observe the effects of treatments. Art therapy including mandala drawing has significantly reduced the severity of trauma symptoms in individuals with anxiety disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder. In the study of Zhao & Tang (2017) it was determined that mandala drawing therapy reduced the anxiety of cancer patients. If the reduction of nausea-vomiting affects the comfort level and the person is relieved, a more effective treatment environment is created and the quality of life of the person is increased. In the literature, very limited studies have been reached on the use of the mandala drawing technique in cancer patients. National and international research examining the mandala drawing technique, especially in patients receiving ambulatory chemotherapy, could not be reached. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of mandala drawing technique on nausea-vomiting and comfort level in patients receiving ambulatory chemotherapy. It is anticipated that the study to be conducted will contribute to nursing interventions in the cancer care process and lead to the planning of new research on the subject.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy, safety and feasibility of intravenous Fosaprepitant and Ondansetron for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting in thoracicsurgery patients. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the Fosaprepitant and Ondansetron group.The groups were analyzed and compared for frequency of vomiting in 24 h after surgery. In addition, we will further compare the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications, length of hospital stay, nutrition and quality of life after surgery in patients treated with different antiemetic prophylaxis.
