Active clinical trials for "Vomiting"

This study is to explore the relationship between intravenous infusion of dextrose during emergence from anesthesia and the incidence of PONV in patients undergoing gynecology laparoscopy (GL).

The purpose of this research is to determine if gastric point of care ultrasound (G-POCUS) can be used to help clinicians determine when to feed patients or when to insert or remove nasogastric tubes for patients recovering from colorectal or abdominal surgery. Patients enrolled in the intervention group will have G-POCUS exams performed after surgery. The results of the exams will be used to make clinical decisions. Researchers will compare these patients to patients receiving the usual care in the hospital after surgery.

Perioperatively, patients experience an unnecessarily high level of side effects associated with their treatment. These side effects include nausea, severe pain, anxiety, and stress. Moreover, many patients develop postoperative delirium (POD) and neurocognitive dysfunctions, often resulting in long-term cognitive impairment, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality. However, physicians, nurses and their institutions do not receive structured feedback regarding these aspects of each patient's well-being. They may therefore be unable to engage in the essential cause-and-effect learning necessary to evaluate and consecutively reduce such side effects. Effective guidelines conform prevention is the proven key to shielding our patients from adverse Outcomes. The Safe Brain Initiative's high-quality routine data-for-action is a sword and accelerator for moving towards patient-centred, precision care. Thus, establishing a foundation for value-based and patient-centred healthcare development. However, a turnkey real-world solution is challenging to develop and implement and requires substantial resources. As a result, such solutions are usually beyond the scope of a single institution. The SBI platform provides high-quality, real-world data to bridge this gap. It allows monitoring and in-depth analysis of cause and effect in the day-to-day routine of individuals, departments, and institutions. The SBI's approach is continuously improved and updated. An organization called the SBI Global Society oversees the quality and precision of science through experts in the field. At SBI Hospitals and Flagship centres, Masterclasses are conducted and can be attended alongside clinical immersions. SBI Solutions manages, develops, and provides technical and service support for the Safe Brain Initiative. Its service guarantees the professional and GDPR conform management of data handling and storage as well as the user-friendly functionality of the SBI-Dashboard solutions.

As long as anesthesia is administered, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) will continue to be a frequent and upsetting comorbidity. Vomiting and nausea can significantly slow down recovery, raise staffing and drug expenses, and decrease patient satisfaction during perioperative procedures. Nausea it is a conscious recognition of subconscious excitation in area of medulla closely associated with or a part of the vomiting center, or it is sensation of discomfort at upper abdomen and unease sensation with involuntary order to vomit. While vomiting It is a mean by which the upper GIT rides of its contents when any part of upper GIT becomes irritated, over distended or over excitable. The PONV is the most feared postoperative symptoms & it may impaired dressing , surgical repairs & increased ( bleeding , pain , risk of gastric contents aspiration ) & if it is prolonged will leads to electrolytes , fluid imbalance & dehydration ; the PONV can occurs after up to 90 % of operative procedures ; The common risk factors of PONV are : young age , female gender, history of ( PONV , motion sickness ) , those not smokers , early mobilization after surgery , early drinking & eating after operations , procedures like (laparoscopic , gynecological , abdominal , ENT , squint ) , postoperative severe pain , narcotic premedication , possibly prolonged general anesthesia , gastric distention , stimulation of the pharynx , hypoxemia , hypotension , & dehydration. The PONV can reduced by: avoidance of triggers where possible, uses of anti-emetics drugs, techniques & procedures associated with low incidence of PONV (e.g. propofol) & give intravenous fluids; with prophylaxis the incidence is usually under 30% in high risk cases, the most effective approach for prevention of PONV is the use of multiple strategies & different drugs. The pregabalin (C8H17NO2), is a newer drug & recently introduced at 1990. as anticonvulsive medication. We evaluated the effect of oral pregabalin on postoperative nausea and vomiting in laparoscopic cholecystectomy cases.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy, safety and feasibility of intravenous Fosaprepitant and Ondansetron for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting in thoracicsurgery patients. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the Fosaprepitant and Ondansetron group.The groups were analyzed and compared for frequency of vomiting in 24 h after surgery. In addition, we will further compare the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications, length of hospital stay, nutrition and quality of life after surgery in patients treated with different antiemetic prophylaxis.

A prospective longitudinal cohort study that will assess the effect of a Personalized Medicine (PM) clinic recommendations on pharmacogenetic variation and/or interacting drugs on plasma drug exposure, effectiveness or toxicity of commonly used antidepressant, pain, and antiemetic medications in cancer patients. Such recommendations will entail genotype-guided treatment suggestions while also considering potential DDI, and will be provided to patients during their clinic visit, and referring physicians thereafter. Drug concentration and therapeutic effectiveness will be assessed before (baseline) and 6 months after recommendations have been provided. To assess effectiveness, patient-reported outcomes will be evaluated using validated scales for symptoms of depression, pain and chemotherapy-induced nausea/ vomiting The investigators hypothesize that the pharmacogenetic variation and DDI, if applicable, determine steady state drug concentration and therapeutic response or toxicity of the investigated antidepressant, pain or antiemetic treatments at baseline, while there is a clinically significant reduction or absence of the effect 6 months after the PM clinic recommendations to referring physicians and patients.

Study the effect of intraperitoneal instillation vs intravenous ondansetron on PONV added to intraperitoneal bupivacaine for enhanced recovery and to decrease incidence of PONV after laparoscopic surgeries.

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

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, sleep quality and pain are the common symptoms experienced by children with cancer. These symptoms significantly devastate the children's quality of life. Hypnosis is found to be effective in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, sleep quality and pain in children with cancer. In addition, virtual reality is shown to promote the effectiveness of hypnosis in managing these symptoms. However, no study so far has examine it effectiveness in Hong Kong Chinese children with cancer. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness in the use a virtual reality device to improve chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, sleep quality and pain among children with cancer in Hong Kong.

The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of different regimens of prophylactic Ondansetron, Dexamethasone, or both, on the incidence and severity of post-operative nausea and vomiting.
