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.
This study uses cyclopropofol as a positive control and adopts a large sample, multicenter, randomized, single-blind, positive parallel control test design to explore the clinical application value of cyclopropofol in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting.
This is an analytical validation observational cohort study is designed to provide evidence of: safety and reliability of Body Surface Gastric Mapping using the Gastric Alimetry System (GAS), normal reference values, and correlation of metrics with patient symptoms among healthy adults and patients diagnosed with upper abdominal motility disorders. GAS is intended to record, store, view and process gastric myoelectrical activity. This is a proprietary system consisting of multiple electrodes arranged on an array that is placed precisely over the stomach, a reader to collect the electrode measurements and a smart tablet application to track patient reported symptoms. Participants meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria will continue fasting for 30 minutes after the Gastric Alimetry System has been applied and begun measuring, eat a standard study meal within 10 minutes and remain quietly seated, reclining, for 4 hours as the GAS continues to collect data. The array is removed and the abdomen is examined for evidence of skin effects.
As a preventive for postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery, the investigators shall investigate the efficacy of the triple therapy of dexamethasone, palonosetron, and fosaprepitant comparing to dual therapy of dexamethasone and palonosetron.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is an important outcome for the patient; patients generally rate PONV as worse than postoperative pain. The term PONV is typically used to describe nausea and/or vomiting or retching in the post-anesthetic care unit or within 24 hours postoperatively. Postoperative nausea and vomiting usually resolves or is treated without sequelae, but may require unexpected hospitalization and delay recovery room discharge. In the prophylaxis of PONV, ondansetron is one of the first widely used 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. Palonosetron, on the other hand, is a second generation 5-HT3 receptor antagonist with a half-life of 40 hours and higher receptor binding affinity. In addition, dexamethasone is another class of drugs that has emerged as a potentially useful prophylaxis for patients who are a corticosteroid and are at high risk of PONV with minimal side effects. However, a multimodal approach rather than antiemetic prophylaxis with a single pharmacological agent is described as a good way to reduce PONV, especially in high-risk cases. Conducted a previous systematic review and meta-analysis of the addition of dexamethasone to various 5-HT3 antagonists; however, it included only one study of palonosetron + dexamethasone. Since then, several meta-analyses have been performed on the efficacy of the combination of palonosetron and dexamethasone. This study was designed to find out the incidence of PONV by comparing the efficacy of the combination of palonosetron-dexamethasone, ondansetron-dexamethasone and dexamethasone alone for the prevention of PONV in patients undergoing pediatric laparoscopic surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Palonosetron and Olanzapine without dexamethasone for the Prevention of moderate risk Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and vomiting.
The use of opioid during surgery can cause side effects and may delay hospital discharge. Some studies have shown balanced sparing opioid anesthesia can optimize the side effects and and the time of discharge. In this compared controlled randomized study the aim is to evaluate the intraoperative and postoperative pain, hemodynamic effects, nausea/vomiting, postoperative ileus, sedation, urinary retention, time of discharge PACU Post anesthesia care unit and hospital.
