Filter by:The latest data on the prevalence of nausea in pregnancy in Switzerland is dated 2015 but has been hypothesised that the recent introduction on the market of new drugs against this symptom could modify its epidemiology. For this reason, we have planned the present survey, calculating an adequate sample size of Swiss pregnant women (the population of interest) and, according to a cross-sectional design, planning the collection of response variables with the aim of estimating the prevalence of burden and nausea and vomiting in pregnancy
In this study, it was planned to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of music therapy, which is a non-pharmacological method, in addition to pharmacological treatment in patients with PONV after bariatric surgery, whose application frequency is increasing in the treatment of obesity, and to determine its effect on patient satisfaction. The findings of this study are considered to be effective in preventing nausea and vomiting, providing patient comfort, increasing evidence-based nursing knowledge and increasing the quality of care.
Nausea and vomiting after surgery are one of the most common side effects of general anaesthesia. Pressure at P6 acupuncture point around wrist area using acupressure band has been proven to reduce nausea and vomiting in adult. We would like to see if this acupressure band can reduce nausea and vomiting in children after surgery. Prior to operation, we will apply an elastic band at the P6 acupoint on your child's both hands. Your child will undergo anaesthesia as per usual and surgery as planned, with the elastic band onboard. Upon completion of surgery, your child will be required to wear the band and should not be removed. Your child will be monitored for up to 24 hours for episodes of nausea and vomiting. If so, rescue antivomit medication will be given. After 24 hours, we will record your level of satisfaction with the regimen provided
This study aims to determine the role of Glycopyrrolate in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting of ERCP.
The purpose of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effects of aromatherapy on postoperative anxiety and pain in total knee replacement patients. The main questions to answer are: Does Lavender-Peppermint Aromatherapy reduce post operative anxiety in patients after primary total knee replacement when compared to placebo? Does Lavender-Peppermint Aromatherapy reduce post operative pain in patient after primary total knee replacement when compared to placebo? Does Lavender-Peppermint Aromatherapy reduce postoperative opioid consumption after primary total knee replacement when compared to placebo? Does Lavender-Peppermint Aromatherapy reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting after primary total knee replacement when compared to placebo? Participants will be assigned to one of the following groups at random: - Intervention: Aromatherapy with the lavender-peppermint scent - Control: Aromatherapy with the almond oil scent Participants will also be asked to complete pre- and post-operative questionnaires. Researchers will compare both groups (intervention vs control) to see if aromatherapy reduces post-operative anxiety, pain, opioid intake, and nausea/vomiting.
This is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study comparing the post-operative nausea vomiting (PONV) profile following administration of intraoperative palonosetron alone and the combination of granisetron and dexamethasone in moderate to high-risk patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients aged 18-65 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I or II were randomized into two groups. Group A received 1 ml of intravenous (IV) 0.9% saline after intubation and IV palonosetron 0.075 mg at the end of operation. Group B received IV dexamethasone 4 mg after intubation and IV granisetron 1 mg at the end of surgery. The occurrence of PONV and the need for rescue antiemetics were assessed at 30 minutes, 4, 24 and 48 hours post-anesthesia. A complete response towards the study drugs was considered when patients did not experience PONV and did not require rescue antiemetics. The side effects of the study drugs were evaluated. Patient satisfaction with the anti-emetics administered was assessed. These parameters were compared between Group A and Group B: the occurrence of PONV, the need of rescue antiemetics, the side effects of the study drugs and patient satisfaction with the anti-emetics administered.
The study was conducted in the ENT Clinic of Mersin Şehir Training and Research Hospital between June 1 and December 1, 2021, with a total of 60 adult patients, 30 in the study group and 30 in the control group, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the prevalence and characteristics of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) in at risk infants (former preterm infants and those with birth asphyxia) during the first 2 years of life. The main questions it aims to answer are: - evaluate the prevalence of symptoms related to gastro-esophageal reflux (GER), of functional gastrointestinal disorders during the first 2 years of life - describe growth parameters during follow-up up to the corrected age of 2 years Participants will be assessed clinically and with a structured questionnaire based on the Rome IV criteria to describe FGID.
False feeding refers to promoting gastrointestinal peristalsis by seeing, smelling, chewing, and tasting food, not getting food into the gastrointestinal tract. Postoperative sham feeding uses gum to promote the healing of gastrointestinal peristalsis. Although not fully understood, the physiological theory underlying gum chewing (fake feeding) to stimulate peristalsis and reduce postoperative intestinal recovery time is that the oral and chewing stimulation provided by chewing gum stimulates a neurohumoral reflex that increases gastrointestinal fluid secretion. This increases gastrointestinal motility. In addition, oral stimulation and chewing can stimulate the vagus nerve, which is also involved in promoting peristalsis. Finally, none of the existing theories adequately explain the effect of chewing/gum chewing on reducing postoperative inflammation in the gut, which may result in a reduced incidence of postoperative infection. In previous studies, physiological changes associated with gum appear to promote normal gastrointestinal function and subsequent postoperative/anesthetic recovery. Although many studies have been conducted to examine the effectiveness of chewing gum in patients undergoing colorectal resection, the results have been inconsistent. This can be attributed to differences in intestinal injuries affecting bowel function, differences in time under anesthesia and differences in anesthetics or pain control agents used for pain control affecting bowel function, and recovery time of peristalsis. Given the many factors known to affect postoperative ileus, chewing gum as an intervention remains a safe, accessible, and inexpensive option that remains to be explored.
This study, it is aimed to determine the effect of Apfel risk score and fasting times on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).
