Active clinical trials for "Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting"

This randomized controlled trial is to investigate if SmtO2-guided management on top of the usual care, compared with the usual care only, during laparoscopic hysterectomy significantly reduces the incidence of PONV.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients at high risk for postoperative nausea and vomiting can benefit from aprepitant, ondansetron and dexamethasone in the perioperative period.

The aim of this study is to investigate if P6 acupressure may reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting in neurosurgical patients undergoing craniotomy.

The investigators want to test if it is indicated to associate dexamethasone and ondansetron in obese patients having bariatric surgery under total intra-venous closed-loop anesthesia.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether pharyngeal packs can reduce nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery.

To maximize the surgical visual field, Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RLRP) usually requires the patient to be positioned in a steep trendelenburg position in combination with prolonged intraperitoneal carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation and increased intrabdominal pressure. Insufflations of CO2 during laparoscopic surgery, which causes stretch and irritation of the peritoneum, is known to play an important role in postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). In addition, prolonged pneumoperitoneum increases the risk for PONV. PONV can cause patient discomfort and prolong post anaesthesia care unit (PACU) stay. In addition, the patient with PONV is also predisposed to severe complications such as aspiration pneumonia, increased wound dehiscence, delayed recovery, prolonged hospital stay, and eventually increased medical cost.

We randomized patients who received laparoscopic surgery for benign gynecologic disease into double dose (Experimental Group) or single dose (Control Group) of antiemetics. We compared the degree of postoperative nausea and vomiting in experimental and control groups.

In this study, the investigators hypothesize that preemptive scalp block in neurosurgical patients may decrease incidence of PONV after craniotomy through decreasing intraoperative inhalational agents' concentration and decreasing intraoperative opioids requirements, with better intraoperative hemodynamics and lesser recovery time

The purpose of this prospective, blinded, randomized clinical trial is to investigate whether a ventilator-piloted PRM at the end of laparoscopic bariatric surgery could reduce overall postoperative pain and nausea.

We hypothesize that the combination of aprepitant with dexamethasone will provide significantly improved prophylaxis against Postoperative nausea and vomiting compared with the combination of ondansetron and dexamethasone, in patients undergoing craniotomy under general anesthesia.
