P ostoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remains the most common anesthetic-related complication in today's perioperative environment and one of the most feared outcomes by patients before surgery. 1 With better understanding of the multiple receptor pathways involved in the pathogenesis of PONV, we are now able to optimize the antiemetic prophylaxis in high-risk patients by using a multimodal...

background: postoperative nausea and vomiting is a high unpleasant symptom in surgical procedures. this study compares the effectiveness of midazolam with promethazine as multipurpose drug in postoperative nausea and vomiting as a preoperative and anesthetic medication after appendectomy. methods: this randomized, double – blind clinical trial study was performed in patients who underwent appen...

BACKGROUND Opioid-based patient controlled analgesia (PCA) provides adequate pain control following spinal surgeries at the expense of increased risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). We evaluated the efficacy of dexamethasone added to ramosetron, which is a newly developed five-hydroxytryptamine receptor 3 antagonist with a higher receptor affinity and longer action duration compare...

Background: Post-operative pain for thyroid surgeries under general anaesthesia is inadequately managed. Bilateral superficial cervical plexus block (BSCPB) surgery causes adequate analgesia without any significant side effects. Dexamethasone commonly used in to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). The study objective was comparison of efficacy between add-on intravenously Ropivaca...

In this study we evaluated the efficacy of electro-acupoint stimulation, ondansetron versus placebo for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Patients undergoing major breast surgery under general anesthesia were randomized into active electro-acupoint stimulation (A), ondansetron 4 mg IV (O), or sham control (placement of electrodes without electro-acupoint stimulation; p...

In this double-blind, randomized, parallel group study, we have investigated the antiemetic activity of the potent and selective NK1 receptor antagonist GR205171 25 mg i.v. compared with placebo in the treatment of established postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients after major gynaecological surgery performed under general anaesthesia. The incidence of PONV in the study population...

BACKGROUND Postoperative vomiting is a common complication after strabismus surgery in children. The serotonin 5-HT(3) receptor antagonists have proven to be a particularly valuable addition to the armamentarium against postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Palonosetron is a second-generation 5-HT(3) receptor antagonist that has recently been approved for prophylaxis against PONV. OBJECTI...

Introduction: Postoperative nausea & vomiting (PONV) are common distressing complications of anaesthesia. Pain ,nausea frequently listed by the patient as their most important postoperative concerns. PONV results in increased patientÂ’s discomfort and dissatisfaction. Despite continuing advances anaesthetic surgical technique, both incidence severity remain relatively unchanged. Material Me...

INTRODUCTION Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a major concern for patients having surgery under general anesthesia as it causes subjective distress along with increased complications and delays in discharge from the hospital. Aromatherapy represents a complementary and alternative therapy for the management of PONV. PURPOSE The objective of this study was to compare the effectivene...

Post Operative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) is a state of nausea vomiting that occurs during the first 24 hours after surgery. The Apfel score Koivuranta are predictor scores used to predict PONV, currently there no research shows which more accurate in predicting PONV at RSU Cut Meutia Aceh Utara reduce time anamnese it necessary obtain one has higher accuracy between two scores. This study aims...
