Active clinical trials for "Vomiting"

Otorhinolaryngological surgery is one of the commonly applied procedures surgical treatments of children in the world. Postoperative vomiting (POV) is an important part of the management of pediatric anesthesia in this surgery that is also related with these surgical procedures. Postoperative vomiting is one of the most common complication of this surgery and may cause patients to receiving anesthesia again and stay longer in the hospital.The use of effective fluid therapy might be a safe way to reduce POV. There are many studies of fluid therapy adult patients on the other hands the number of children studies are limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the POV effect of intraoperative hydration with 0.9 NaCl solution in children undergoing otorhinolaryngological surgery.

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common in patients, especially in patients at high risk. PONV may result in prolonged hospital stay and threaten patients' life. Because the etiology of PONV is very complex, there is an increasing focus on combining antiemetics from different classes for PONV prophylaxis. Fosaprepitant is a neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor antagonist to prevent PONV. Palonosetron is a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist with high efficacy and sustained action for PONV prophylaxis. Dexamethasone belongs to corticosteroid and also has the ability to reduce the incident of PONV. This study aims to use the combination of these three drugs in high-risk patients to test whether triple therapy is better than combination of palonosetron and dexamethasone to prevent PONV.

overall incidence of intraoperative nausea and vomiting(IONV) during regional anesthesia for cesarean section is extremely variable, up to 80 percent , depending on the anesthetic technique used (spinal, epidural or combined spinal-epidural) and on the preventive and therapeutic measures taken.1 Spinal anesthesia for CS is safe and effective; it is currently the anesthetic technique of choice for elective Cesarean delivery (CD). However, maternal hypotension associated with spinal anesthesia is one of the primary causes of intraoperative nausea and/or vomiting (IONV); this symptom is thought to be caused by cerebral and gut hypoperfusion that stimulate the vomiting centre in the brainstem and cause serotonin release, respectively.2, 3 While bolus dosing of phenylephrine effectively treats maternal hypotension, it does not prevent intraoperative maternal nausea, which may be associated with established hypotension, and this may adversely affect patient satisfaction.4, 5 However, the unopposed vagal activity that occurs with sympathetic block might be another cause of intraoperative nausea and vomiting during spinal anesthesia.6 Both scopolamine and atropine are tertiary amines, which cross the blood-brain barrier with central side effects, such as confusion, sedation, or paradoxical excitation. However, Hyoscine butyl bromide (HBB) has a quaternary ammonium structure that does not cross through the blood-brain barrier and also with lower placental transfer than atropine, making it more suitable for use in pregnancy 7, 8. Hyoscine Butyl-bromide, also known as scopolamine butyl-bromide and sold under the brand name Buscopan.9 Despite being a quaternary ammonium compound, HBB is still capable of targeting the chemoreceptor trigger zone due to the lack of a well-developed blood-brain-barrier in the medulla oblongata, which potentiates the antiemetic effects that it produces through local action on the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract.10 So, the aim of the current study is to examine the effect of prophylactic use of HBB and Ondansetron to decrease the incidence of intraoperative bradycardia and thus intraoperative nausea and vomiting in parturients undergoing CD under spinal anaesthesia.

Nausea and vomiting (PONV) remain a common problem in surgical units. Even after two or three prophylactic antiemetic interventions, patients with all four of the Apfel risk factors for PONV have an estimated 30 to 40% chance of suffering PONV. Olanzapine as an antiemetic represents a new use of an antipsychotic drug.

This is a quality improvement project that aims to assess the effect of nurse-driven administration of essential oil aromatherapy on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients while in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) after general anesthesia.

In spite of multimodal analgesic strategies, which consist of opioids, dexamethasone, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and local anesthetics applied into the surgical wound, postoperative pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are still common complaints reported after laparoscopic gynecological surgery. So, it is hypothesized that the infusion consisting of lidocaine, dexmedetomidine and ketamine, as an opioid substitute was a feasible technique for laparoscopic gynecological surgery and would be associated with less incidence of PONV and lower opioid requirements in the early postoperative period. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of opioid sparing technique via infusion of Dexmedetomidine, Ketamine and Lidocaine on post-operative nausea and vomiting in laparoscopic gynecological surgery.

Overall incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after general anesthesia is 40-90 % . gabapentin has been incorporated into "fast-track" packages and improved recovery during surgery protocols to avoid unintended side effects associated with opioid alternatives. Interestingly, gabapentin has also been noted to reduce the effects of chemotherapy-induced nausea, effective in treatment of gravidarum hyperemesis, and postdural puncture emesis. Different dosing regimens were tested.The goal of the study is to determine the most effective dose of oral gabapentin given 1 hour prior to surgery on the occurrence and severity of PONV and drug side effects in the first 24 hours postoperatively to find the most effective dose of gabapentin with the least side effects.

The main objective of this study is to investigate the optimal anesthesia for obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery in the strategies of positive pulmonary ventilation, tracheal intubation technique, hemodynamic monitoring, and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) prophylaxis, as the followed: To evaluate the effectiveness and adverse effect of intravenous dexamethasone for PONV prophylaxis To determine the safe inspiratory pressure to prevent the occurrence of gastric insufflation during facemask ventilation using point-of-care ultrasonography of antrum To compare the effectiveness and safety between video intubating stylet and video laryngoscope in the placement of tracheal tubes To apply minimally invasive CO monitors in guiding goal-directed hemodynamic therapy and assess its impact on major complications and postoperative recovery

Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the leading causes of patient morbidity after laparoscopic bariatric surgeries. A wide variety of complications related to PONV has been described, such as prolonged length of stay (LOS) in hospital, unnecessary readmissions, delay in oral intake, and bad experience for patients. Although several antiemetic regimens have been tried so far in different studies, the incidence of PONV is not significantly lowered, and it seems that it is impossible to totally eliminate it. On the other hand, the implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) has greatly reduced the incidence of PONV and LOS. Therefore, a combination of ERAS and multiple antiemetic regimens is currently used to reduce the incidence of PONV. Nevertheless, the optimal regimen has not been found yet, and many trials are conducting to find out the best antiemetic regimen. In this randomized clinical trial, we compare four different combined and single regimens alongside the implementation of ERAS to show which regimen is more effective.

The purpose of this randomized controlled, statistical blind study that has an intervention control group was to determine the effect of oral cryotherapy on anticipatory, acute, and late nausea and vomiting of breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. The study was carried out between July 2020-May 2021 in the Unit of the Medical Oncology Department of University of Health Sciences Dr. Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Training and Research Hospital. The study sample consisted of 54 breast cancer patients. 26 patients belonged to the intervention group and 28 to the control group. They were stratified based on their ages and body surface areas and were planned to receive chemotherapy for four cycles. The Oral Cryotherapy Protocol; developed by the researcher was made by obtaining opinions of five academic members and physics engineers and chemical engineers. Nausea and vomiting training guide and education was given to all patients in the study to avoid discrimination. The intervention group of the study applied oral cryotherapy with the researcher when they came to the hospital for the treatment and at home. No procedure outside of the routine treatment was performed on patients in the control group. Data in the study were collected through the Patient Information Form, the Rhodes Index of Nausea Vomiting and Retching (RINVR), and the EORTC QLQ-C30 Life Quality Index. The effect of oral cryotherapy was measured by the RINVR by contacting the patients every day for the first week during four cycles. EORTC QLQ-C30 and RINVR were conducted on patients when they came to the hospital throughout their cycles.
