Filter by:The laparoscopic technique is commonly employed for abdominal gynaecological surgery in women. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) may occur in 30% of women undergoing gynaecological surgery. In patients with multiple risk factors for nausea and vomiting, the incidence is up to 80%. PONV has a significant negative effect on patient satisfaction after anesthesia and is one of the most common causes for unexpected hospital admissions in day-surgery. Sugammadex and Neostigmine are both drugs that are used to reverse the effect of muscle relaxation producing drugs that are commonly used during surgery. Neostigmine has been the drug of common use for this purpose, but PONV is reported with its usage. With this research we intend to determine whether the trial drug Sugammadex would reduce the incidence of PONV in high-risk women after undergoing laparoscopic gynaecological surgery when compared to Neostigmine.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the most common postoperative complications of general anesthesia in pediatrics. Pediatric rates of nausea and vomiting are approximately double those of adult patients. Aromatherapy has recently been shown to reduce PONV in adults, but the effect in paediatric patients is unknown. The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility of a large-scale study in the paediatric population.
Double-blind, randomised, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, adaptive, seamless, dose-selecting study to compare the efficacy of APD421 to placebo as treatment of established PONV, in patients who have had prior PONV prophylaxis.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a displeasing experience that distresses surgical patients during the first 24 hours after a surgical procedure. The incidence of postoperative nausea occurs in about 50%, the incidence of postoperative vomiting is about 30%, and in high-risk patients, the PONV rate could be as high as 80%. Therefore, the study design of this single arm, non-randomized, pilot study assessed the efficacy and safety profile of a triple therapy combination with palonosetron, dexamethasone and promethazine to prevent PONV in patients undergoing craniotomies under general anesthesia.
The purpose of this study is to determine how automated recommendations are best presented to optimize the adherence to guidelines on prophylaxis for nausea and vomiting after surgery.
The purpose of this study was to compare the antiemetic efficacy of aprepitant plus palonosetron versus aprepitant plus ramosetron in high risk patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
PALO-15-17 is a clinical study assessing efficacy and safety of a single dose of palonosetron 0.25 mg administered as a 30-minute IV infusion compared to palonosetron 0.25 mg administered as a 30-second IV bolus (Aloxi, an antiemetic drug), both given with oral dexamethasone. The objective of the study is to demonstrate that infused IV palonosetron 0.25 mg is as effective as (non-inferior to) injected palonosetron IV 0.25 mg to prevent nausea and vomiting induced by highly emetogenic cancer chemotherapy in the 0-24 hours after administration of a single cycle of highly emetogenic chemotherapy
Previous reports demonstrated that dexmedetomidine could reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Dexamethason also had been commonly used for ajuvant drugs for preventing and reducing PONV. So investigator want to study about the effect of dexmedetomidine only or combined with dexamethasone for preventing PONV.
In this prospective trial, Stage 1-3 patients having mastectomies or isolated lumpectomy with axillary node dissection will be randomly assigned to general anesthesia with opioids combined with a Pecs II block or to general anesthesia with opioids combined with a placebo Pecs II block. Participants will be followed postoperatively during their entire hospital stay to determine the effectiveness of Pecs II block and opioids versus placebo Pecs II block and opioids as postoperative pain treatment.
Despite the development of new drugs, nausea and vomiting after surgery (PONV) are still frequent. Antagonists 5HT3 receptors, such as ondansetron and palanosetron, are among the main characterized prophylactic agents in patients at high risk, however there are few studies comparing the efficacy of these drugs and no study that addresses women aged over 60 years. In this prospective, randomized, double-blind study, 80 women nonsmokers, undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be divided into two groups, receiving during anesthetic induction intravenous ondansetron 4 mg (n = 40) or palonosetron 75 mcg (n = 40) prophylaxis of PONV.
