Filter by: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 investigators tested the hypothesis that administration of intravenous dextrose as a maintenance fluid in gynecologic laparoscopic surgery would reduce the incidence and severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) compared with normal saline solution in the same dose. A prospective randomized double blinded controlled study was conducted. Eighty six participants were randomized to dextrose solution (n= 42) or normal saline solution (n= 44). The Bellville postoperative nausea and vomiting scores were recorded until 24 hours after surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of olanzapine for the treatment of cancer patients with chronic nausea and/or vomiting unrelated to chemotherapy or radiation in a randomized placebo-controlled pilot trial.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a single preoperative high-dose steroid injection on complications in the immediate postoperative phase after breast cancer surgery, with removal of the breast (mastectomy). Primary outcome is the proportion patients who require transfer to the post anaesthesia care unit (PACU) and the proportion that can be transferred directly to the ward. Secondary outcomes are organospecific complications in the postanesthesia phase, pain and nausea the first 5 days, seroma and wound infection the first 14 days and readmissions the first 30 days after surgery. The investigators hypothesize that the frequency of transfer to the PACU and organospecific complications will be lower among patients receiving high dose dexamethasone. The investigators hypothesize, that there will be no difference in wound infections, seroma or readmissions.
This study will compare two different ways to relieve nausea and vomiting in the Emergency Department. The usual treatment for nausea/vomiting is a drug called Zofran, but new studies have suggested that smelling alcohol pads can also help to relieve nausea and vomiting.
This phase II trial studies how well netupitant and palonosetron hydrochloride work in preventing chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting in patients with cancer undergoing BEAM conditioning regimen before stem cell transplant. Chemotherapy, such as carmustine, cytarabine, etoposide, and melphalan (BEAM), makes people feel sick to their stomach and causes vomiting. Netupitant and palonosetron hydrochloride may reduce the nausea and vomiting caused by the BEAM treatment.
The Olanzapine Regimen will be superior to the Standard Regimen, as measured by the proportion of patients with Complete Response in the 120 hours following AC chemotherapy.
This non-interventional, observational study investigates the course of symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia under treatment with a fixed combination of pepsin and amino acid hydrochloride over a period of approximately 6 weeks. The change of the Gastrointestinal Symptom Score (GIS©) was the primary parameter for the assessment of efficacy and was performed at baseline, after 3 and 6 weeks of treatment respectively. Safety measures included recording of AEs and physical examination as well as measurement of vital signs. The aim was to observe 100 patients during the course of this non-interventional study.
Introduction. Despite the advantages associated with the use of remifentanil during total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), it has been observed a frequent difficulty in the control of postoperative pain due to the risk of developing hyperalgesia and acute tolerance associated with the administration of this opioid. There is evidence that NMDA receptors are involved in the development of these changes. Methadone is an opioid that exhibits analgesic potency similar to that of morphine but has NMDA antagonist activity and longer duration of action as additional features. The objective of the study was to evaluate the quality of recovery (QoR40) of patients undergoing TIVA for laparoscopic cholecystectomy and who received morphine or methadone to control postoperative pain. Methods. Patients aged 18 to 65 years, physical status ASA I and II, submitted to total venous anesthesia (propofol and remifentanil) for laparoscopic cholecystectomy and eligible to participate in this prospective and randomized clinical study will be evaluated. After induction of anesthesia, patients will receive a solution containing 0.1 mg.kg-1 morphine (MF group) or 0.1 mg.kg-1 methadone (MT group). Data on the presence of pain, nausea, vomiting, tremor, drowsiness, presence of SpO2 <92%, even with O2 face mask (5 L.min-1) and length of stay will be recorded at PACU. The pain will be evaluated every 15 minutes on a verbal numerical scale (ENV) from 0 to 10. E.v. morphine 0.1 mg.kg-1 (MF group) or methadone 0.1 mg.kg-1 (MT group) will be administered every 15 minutes to obtain the score below 3. After discharge from the PACU, all patients will receive intravenous ketoprofen every 12 hours and dipyrone every 6 hours. For cases where the patient considers the analgesic regimen insufficient, tramadol (100 mg) will be administered intravenously at 8-hour intervals. The consumption of analgesics, the intensity of pain, the occurrence of nausea, vomiting and other complications in the ward will be recorded. The application of the questionnaire (QoR40) will be performed in the ward the morning after the surgery by a medical student.
This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well netupitant and palonosetron hydrochloride works in preventing chronic nausea and vomiting in patients with cancer. Netupitant and palonosetron hydrochloride may reduce nausea and vomiting.
