Active clinical trials for "Vomiting"

Questionnaire study to observe the incidence and pattern or nausea and vomiting in patients receiving combined chemotherapy and radiation. 83% of patients experience radiation therapy-induced vomiting; significant nausea and vomiting could develop with concurrent chemotherapy despite standard anti-nauseous medication prophylaxis.

Retrospectively review the charts of all children who had heart rate variability, deep breathing test, valsalva maneuver, tilt table test, thermoregulatory sweat testing, quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test (QSART) completed and were cared for at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.

In this retrospective study, postoperative pain score, PCA-related complications, the risk factors for requirement of rescue analgesics and antiemetics will be evaluated in young and elderly patients, respectively, using fentanyl-based IV PCA during postoperative 48 hours after various surgeries.

Aim of this prospective study was to assess the quality of postoperative care in a postoperative anaesthesia care unit (PACU) using postoperative pain, nausea and vomiting as well as their reduction as quality markers. So far, only sparse data related to this topic are available and there are currently no established quality markers of a PACU service.

In more than one-in-five cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, airways are blocked by vomit and blood. Sometimes, paramedics cannot clear the airway using methods they have been taught. If the airway cannot be cleared, the patient will die. Usually, these patients will have a breathing tube placed into their windpipe (intubation), as this provides protection from vomit and blood. To do this, the paramedic needs to be able to see the entrance to the windpipe. A new method of clearing the airway called SALAD has been used in patients to help insert a breathing tube, but it is not known whether the method can help paramedics. This study will use a manikin to see if paramedics can insert a breathing tube more often on their first attempt, using SALAD.

This study investigates electrical acupoint stimulation (EAS) administered in peri-operation for improving postoperative recovery in elder patients, who accept knee arthroplasty. the surgery cause to change of stress response, which might be associated with postoperative recovery of patient Totally, three groups are created, 1/3 participants receive transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation, 1/3 participants receive electroacupuncture, the rest 1/3 will use sham transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation.

The primary aim of this study is to characterize the quality of life of youth with Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS) as well as the strategies they use to cope with stress, their strengths and vulnerabilities, and to assess symptoms of depression and anxiety in these at risk youth. The impact of CVS on the child's parent and family will also be assessed. A second aim is to evaluate the associations among coping strategies, personal strengths and vulnerabilities and the frequency and intensity of CVS attacks to determine if particular coping styles and personal characteristics are associated illness severity, psychiatric co-morbidity and quality of life

Risk factors for postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV) such as past history of PONV and/or motion sickness, non-smoking status, female gender, planned opiate use for post-operative analgesia were identified in white people. Whereas, risk factors for PONV in female patient with mongolian race were not clear. As a different life style and genetic background, new risk factors may associate with PONV in this population. The present study is a prospective cohort study to identify risk factors for PONV within 24 postoperative hours in chinese female patients underwent gynecology operative under general anesthesia.

The purpose of this study is to determine if there are genetic variations that can explain a genetic basis for cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS).

Characterize the quality of life of young children with CVS (i.e., psychological, social, physical, school functioning) and the impact of the child's illness on the parent's and family's quality of life (i.e., emotional, social, cognitive functioning, communication, worry, daily activities and family relationships). Assess symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD and behavioral problems in what our preliminary data suggests is a psychiatrically vulnerable population. Evaluate the associations between quality of life and psychiatric symptoms and the frequency and intensity of CVS attacks. Use the data generated from this study to develop a psychosocial intervention targeted at young children with CVS and their families who evidence risk for functional disability, with the aim of intervening as early as possible to limit the psychological and social morbidity experienced by children with CVS and their and families.
