Active clinical trials for "Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting"

The use of low-pressure pneumoperitoneum seems to be able to reduce complications such as postoperative pain. However, the quality of evidence for most studies evaluating this relationship is considered low. The absence of concealment of pneumoperitoneum pressure and the lack of description of neuromuscular blockade characteristics are the main causes of bias. The purpose of this study will be to evaluate by means of a prospective, randomized and double-blinded trial, the quality of recovery (QoR-15) questionnaire of patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under moderate neuromuscular blockade, using low pneumoperitoneum pressure or "standard" pressure. Eighty patients submitted to laparoscopic cholecystectomy and randomly distributed in two groups will be included: low pneumoperitoneum pressure (10 mmHg) or "standard" pressure (14 mmHg). The value of abdominal pressure will be kept hidden for all participants, except for the nurse responsible for the operating room. Moderate neuromuscular blockade will be maintained according to Train-of-four count (TOFc) = 3 for all cases.

The objective of this study is to investigate if aprepitant in association with palonosetron and dexamethasone could reduce the incidence of PONV in high-risk patients for this symptom, undergoing cancer surgery mastectomies.

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.

MIRP (Minimally Invasive Repair of Pectus) as surgical correction of pectus excavatum or carinatum is performed to achieve physiological, cosmetic, and psychological benefits for the patient. Surgery is often associated with severe postoperative pain. In this study the researchers want to registrate pain, sleep, nausea/vomiting, and daily activities in short and long term follow up.

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.

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.

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a major concern in paediatric inpatient surgery and may increase patient discomfort, delay patient discharge, and increase the cost of patient care. The incidence of PONV after strabismus surgery is relatively high, compared with other inpatient surgeries, particularly in children. Oculocardiac reflex (OCR) is a phenomenon defined by bradycardia or dysrhythmia during strabismus surgery. Oculocardiac reflex is commonly caused by the traction on the extraocular muscle (EOM), which, through the ophthalmic branch of trigeminal nerve, stimulates the vagal center. The afferent arm of the reflex is the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve, and the efferent arm is the vagus nerve, which diminishes sinoatrial node impulses and leads to bradycardia.While there is a general consensus regarding the role of unmodifiable risk factors for PONV, including the number of muscle and the occurrence of Oculocardiac reflex or not, the role of modifiable risk factors, such as duration of surgery and anesthesia and perioperatively administered medications, is still disputed. In the present study, the investigators evaluated whether these factors may be associated with postoperative nausea and vomiting after paediatric strabismus surgery while controlling for a range of covariates.

Postoperative nausea and vomiting are common occurrences following bariatric surgery, occurring in up to 80% of patients and contributing to increased healthcare utilization and delays in discharge. This study aims to evaluate the impact of a high-protein liquid diet on postoperative nausea, vomiting, and length of stay after laparoscopic or robotic sleeve gastrectomy.

Aim: Orthognathic surgeries are generally associated with blood loss, swelling, postoperative nausea vomiting (PONV), and pain. The aim of this study is to improve postoperative outcome in patients undergoing orthognatic surgeries by the use of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. Material methods: After Ethics Committee approval (2020/965), the data of 90 patients who underwent elective orthognathic surgery, were investigated. Following standard monitorization and general anesthesia; Group 1 patients were applied traditional approach and received intraoperative 10 mL/kg/h IV izolen infusion. Group 2 received ERAS approach. Patients in Group 2 did not preoperatively smoke for 48 hours, drank clear liquids until the last 2 hours, and received 6 mL/kg/h IV izolen intraoperatively. In these; gastric aspiration was also applied before extubation, PONV prophylaxis and patient controlled analgesia was added to the routine plans for the first postoperative 48 hours. The primary endpoint was length of hospital stay. The secondary endpoints were intraoperative follow-up data, length of postanesthesia care unit (PACU) stay, numeric rating scale (NRS) pain scores, opioid consumption and PONV incidences through the postoperative first 48 hours, and satisfaction scores.

General anesthetic technique plays a key role in most surgical procedures. This technique has some complications especially postoperative nausea/vomiting (PONV). This complication can lead to serious problems. Department of Anesthesiology has developed and implemented a PONV prophylaxis guideline for high risk PONV patients but PONV still remains.
