Study of Aprepitant (MK-0869) for Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV) in Adolescent...

Vomiting

This study is being conducted to demonstrate that aprepitant (MK-0869) prevents nausea and vomiting caused by emetogenic cancer chemotherapy in adolescent participants. Participants treated with emetogenic cancer chemotherapies that include either cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, or carboplatin, or participants who experienced nausea and/or vomiting when treated with a previously administered chemotherapy regimen that is planned to be repeated will be enrolled in this study. In the double-blind Part 1 of this study, enrolled participants will be randomized to receive either aprepitant or standard therapy. In Part 2 of this study, enrolled participants will receive open-label aprepitant.

Intrathecal Dexmedetomidine to Decrease Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting and Shivering.

Intrathecal Dexmedetomidine

Background: Highly selective α-2 agonist dexmedetomidine in increasingly used as an intrathecal adjuvant for caesarean section performed under subarachnoid block. Aim of the Study: The aim of the study is to determine whether low dose dexmedetomidine added to local anesthetic for spinal anesthesia will attenuate perioperative nausea and vomiting and shivering in lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) with minimal hemodynamic instability or not. Patients and Methods: Sixty parturients planned for elective CSs under spinal anesthesia were enrolled in this prospective controlled study and randomly divided into two equal groups. Spinal block was achieved with 10mg hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% plus 5µg dexmedetomidine (group D) (dexmedetomidine group) or 0.2 ml normal saline (group C) (control group). Hemodynamic parameters, incidence of nausea and vomiting and shivering were recorded. Keywords: Dexmedetomidine, Cesarean Section, Bupivacaine, Spinal Anesthesia, Shivering, PONV

Food Related Video and the Incidence of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting

Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting

Postoperative nausea/vomiting (PONV) is a common problem following surgery and anesthesia. There are risk factors that increase the incidence of PONV that are related to the patient, to the surgical procedure or to the anesthetic agents. At the subjective level PONV is described as worse and more feared than postoperative pain by many patients. At the objective level it increases the length of stay in the recovery room, it results in unplanned hospital admission and Emergency Room visits, and therefore increased cost of care. A lot of research work has been done to identify pharmacological agents to prevent and treat PONV. The higher the risk of a patient the higher number of these drugs are combined for prophylaxis. However, these drugs have significant side effects of their own. Much less attention has been paid to potential non-pharmacological PONV prevention options. The purpose of our study is to investigate the putative role of the natural stimulation of normal gastrointestinal function via the Pavlovian reflex. We seek to find a natural method with no side effects to improve PONV prophylaxis in patients with risk factors for that postoperative complication.

Improving Safety of Diagnosis and Therapy in the Inpatient Setting

DeliriumConfusion28 more

To improve the safety of diagnosis and therapy for a set of conditions and undifferentiated symptoms for hospitalized patients, the investigators will employ a set of methods and tools from the disciplines of systems engineering, human factors, quality improvement,and data analytics to thoroughly analyze the problem, design and develop potential solutions that leverage existing current technological infrastructure, and implement and evaluate the final interventions. The investigators will engage the interdisciplinary care team and patient (or their caregivers) to ensure treatment trajectories match the anticipated course for working diagnoses (or symptoms), and whether they are in line with patient and clinician expectations. The investigators will use an Interrupted time series (ITS) design to assess impact on diagnostic errors that lead to patient harm. The investigators will perform quantitative and qualitative evaluations using implementation science principles to understand if the interventions worked, and why or why not.

Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a 3-day intravenous (IV) fosaprepitant dimeglumine (MK-0517) regimen for the prevention of CINV in pediatric participants scheduled to receive emetogenic chemotherapy. Each participant was enrolled in Cycle 1 (on which the primary study objectives were based), consisting of the 3-day treatment cycle and 14 days of follow-up for a total of 17 days.
