Active clinical trials for "Vomiting"

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate a betterment of the digestive symptomatology by the anti-emetic acupression's bracelets's use associated with hygiene and dietetic advices.

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.

The purpose of our study is to determine if the incidence of emesis can be lowered with the addition of a high protein drink during labor. Emesis and nausea are the leading causes of parturient dissatisfaction, results in a delay of returning to normal, daily living and can hugely impact the mother's postpartum experience. To date, no studies have been done on the relationship of protein intake during labor and incidence of emesis. To the best of our knowledge, the use of a high protein drink during labor has not been evaluated in the literature.

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.

For breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy regimens, the use of a validated emesis (nausea and vomiting) risk calculator will provide superior anti-emetic (nausea and vomiting) control compared with "standard" anti-emetic regimen. The risk calculator has the potential to provide more individualized anti-emetic regimen by decreasing the use of toxic/costly anti-emetics in patients at low risk and possibly more importantly enhancing the appropriate anti-emetic regimen in patients at high risk.
