Overnight Use of Electroacustimulation on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in the Outpatient Surgery...

Post-operative Nausea and Vomiting

Postoperative nausea and vomiting after outpatient surgery are significant sources of patient dissatisfaction. The prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) should be equally as important as prevention of pain because both are large sources of patient dissatisfaction and can necessitate admission after routine outpatient procedures. None of the currently available pharmacological interventions are able to totally abolish PONV. The use of electroacustimulation is a useful adjunct in prevention of PONV, but has yet to be studied when the patient takes the device home with them after leaving an outpatient facility.

Intraoperative Electronic Reminder Module to Enhance Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting Prophylaxis...

Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting

This project intends to develop and implement an electronic reminder for post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) prophylaxis into the Anesthesia Record Keeping System. Each patient will have his or her PONV risk classified based on the following risk factors: Female gender, History of PONV, History of Motion Sickness, Non-smoker and Duration of procedure > 60 minutes. Patients will be randomized to either receive the PONV reminder or not. Those receiving the PONV reminder will have the PONV risk assessment and current guideline information for PONV prophylaxis displayed on the Anesthesia Record Keeping System (ARKS) screen at the beginning of the case. At the end of the procedure (specific at documentation of emergence), the reminder will assess the current status of PONV prophylaxis as per anti-emetic medications administered and compare the current status to the recommended status based on published guidelines. If the current status is compatible or exceeds the recommended status the reminder will silently document compliance. If published guidelines suggest additional PONV prophylaxis based on the patients risk profile and a comparison with the currently documented status, an electronic reminder will appear on the ARKS screen to alert the anesthesia provider of an opportunity to enhance guideline adherence. The reminder will not recommend a specific medication, intervention or therapy. It will be completely the decision of the anesthesia provider if and how to modify the PONV prophylaxis for the patient. Subjects randomized to not receive the electronic display will have it deactivated.

Prophylaxy of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Surgery

Postoperative ComplicationsPostoperative Nausea and Vomiting

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the most commonly reported adverse effects of anesthesia. The general incidence of vomiting is approximately 30%, nausea at 50% and the PONV rate can go up to 80% in high-risk patients without prophylaxis. Prevention of these episodes in high-risk patients improves satisfaction and well-being rates. Therefore, it becomes important the adequate control of PONV, aiming at the satisfaction of the patient with the procedure, lower costs for the health system as well as reduction of complications in the postoperative period. This study aims to evaluate the association of gabapentin or pregabalin with dexamethasone in reducing the incidence of PONV in high-risk patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries in the first 48 hours postoperatively as well as to assess side effects.

Incidence of Post-operative Vomitings (POV) After Early Refeeding in Pediatric Day Case Surgery....

Post-operative Vomiting IncidencePediatric Day Case Surgery

At the child, the post-operative vomitings (POV) remain the main post-operative complication in term of frequency. They also represent the first cause of unforeseen hospitalization in day case surgery. The causes of POV are multiple, including in particular the post-operative prescription of opioids. The role of the premature refeeding remains discussed. Up to the age of 4 years, acute pain is difficult to distinguish from other causes of distress (anxiety, anger but also hunger) being able to make prescribe wrongly opioids in post-operative. The main objective of this study is to estimate the POV in pediatric day case surgery after early refeeding with clear liquids in the recovery room or only in the day case wards (usual practice). The secondary objectives are to estimate the time on returning to the day case ward, at home, the post-operative opioid consumption, early refeeding adverse effects (desaturation, swallowing trouble)
