Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the difference of the gastric volume by quantitative measurements of gastric antrum preoperatively and postoperatively by using 5mg famotidine versus placebo as a risk factor of PONV.
This study aims to determine the role of Glycopyrrolate in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting of ERCP.
PONV is the most common clinical presentation after surgical procedures beyond pain. A retrospective study of our center found that the postoperative incidence of LSG was 77.4%. PONV can not only cause postoperative discomfort, but also cause serious complications such as disturbance water and electrolyte balance, wound splitting, incisional hernia, and even residual gastric leakage and aspiration pneumonia, resulting in prolonged hospital stay and increased medical costs. Wrist and ankle acupuncture is a special kind of acupuncture therapy. Through subcutaneous stimulation, the electrical signal is fed back along the nerve fiber into the cerebral cortex, without dialectical treatment, and only needs the appropriate symptoms and signs of the patient. Although only in the wrist and ankle, it can solve a series of problems in the whole body, especially nausea, vomiting and pain symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Aprepitant + standard antiemetic regimen in reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic gastric sleeve versus placebo + standard antiemetic regimen
This is a repeat-dose, single-arm, open-label study that will evaluate the potential impact of subject-reported injection-site reactions (ISRs) on activities of daily living (ADL) in adult subjects with cancer receiving SUSTOL® (granisetron) extended-release injection, for subcutaneous use for prevention of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) for up to 4 sequential cycles of chemotherapy (Moderately Emetogenic Chemotherapy [MEC] or Anthracycline and Cyclophosphamide [AC] combination regimen).
MyRisk: Efficacy and safety evaluation of oral Akynzeo® in patients receiving MEC at high risk of developing CINV based on a prediction tool. A multinational and multicenter study. Antiemetic guidelines recommendations are based on the emetogenic potential of the chemotherapy. Chemotherapy (CT) agents are divided in Highly, Moderately, Low and Minimally Emetogenic potential. In addition to type of chemotherapy, several patient-related risk factors can increase the risk of CINV (chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting). Currently, there is limited consensus surrounding the most relevant patient risk factors that may predict the risk of CINV. Based on a recent study by Dranitsaris et al. (Dranitsaris et al. Ann Oncol. 2017 Jun 1; 28(6):1260-1267.), eight (8) predictive factors have been identified and an algorithm has been developed to incorporate these factors into the optimal selection of prophylactic antiemetics: 1. nausea and/or vomiting in the prior cycle of chemotherapy 2. use of non-prescribed antiemetics at home in the prior cycle of chemotherapy 3. platinum or anthracycline-based chemotherapy 4. age < 60 years 5. expectations for (anticipating) nausea and/or vomiting 6. <7 h of sleep the night before chemotherapy 7. history of morning sickness during previous pregnancy 8. cycle of chemotherapy (A negative association between risk and number of cycles was identified where the hazard for CINV was highest in cycles 1 and 2, with a gradual decline and plateau from cycle 3 onward). The clinical application of this prediction tool has the potential to be an important resource for clinicians and may help to enhance patient care by optimizing the use of the antiemetics in a proactive manner.
This study evaluates the possibility to reduce the total dose of dexamethasone, when administered with NEPA, to prevent chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving a cisplatin-based chemotherapy
Aim of this phase III trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of dronabinol (orally administered tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)) as adjuvant therapy to first-line standard chemotherapy in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer for improvement of chemotherapy- and tumor-related symptoms applicated by individual titration up to the maximum tolerated dose.
This is a randomized-controlled prospective study to be conducted at Danbury Hospital and Norwalk Hospital to compare postoperative opioid consumption and pain scores of patients with suspected or known gynecologic malignancies undergoing midline laparotomy who received TAP block with liposomal bupivacaine versus surgical site infiltration of liposomal bupivacaine. Primary outcome: Total postoperative opioid consumption as measured by morphine equivalents over 48 hour period. Secondary outcomes include: Pain scores (based on visual analog scale 1-10) at 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours postoperatively at rest and upon exertion (Valsalva maneuver), Severity of nausea, Episodes of vomiting, Total antiemetics consumption over 48 hour period.
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).
