The Mean

Background: We performed this prospective double-blind randomized controlled trial to identify the effect of a preoperative prophylactic transdermal scopolamine (TDS) patch on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after retromastoid craniectomy with microvascular decompression (RMC-MVD). Methods: We recruited 38 patients undergoing RMC-MVD and randomized them into two groups: the TDS group (n = 19, application of the TDS patch) and placebo group (n = 19, application of a sham patch). Nausea (as a self-reported 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS) score; range, 0 (no nausea) to 10 (worst nausea)), vomiting, and the use of antiemetics were the primary endpoints. Results: There was no significant difference in terms of the incidence of PONV (73.7% in the TDS group and 78.9% in the placebo group; p = 1.00) between the groups. However, the mean nausea VAS score was significantly different at arrival to the general ward (0.93 ± 1.71 in the TDS group vs. 2.52 ± 2.85 in the placebo group; p = 0.046), and throughout the study period (0.03 ± 0.07 in the TDS group vs. 0.44 ± 0.71 in the placebo group; p = 0.029). Rescue antiemetics were more frequently used in the placebo group than in the TDS group (9 (47.4%) vs. 2 (10.5%), respectively; p = 0.029). The mean number of antiemetics used throughout the study period was significantly higher in the placebo group than in the TDS group (1.37 ± 2.19 vs. 0.16 ± 0.50, respectively; p = 0.029). Conclusions: The preoperative prophylactic use of a TDS patch was safe and effective in the management of PONV after RMC-MVD in terms of the severity of PONV and the use of rescue antiemetics.

Abstract Purpose: Few studies have investigated the effect of dexmedetomidine on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients following gynecological laparoscopic surgery. We investigated if adding dexmedetomidine to a morphine-based patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) could reduce the incidence of PONV in this patient population. Methods: In this double-blind randomized-controlled trial,122 patients undergoing gynaecological laparoscopic surgery were randomly allocated to receive either a mixture of dexmedetomidine 1μg ml-1 and morphine 0.5mg ml-1 (Group Dex) or morphine 0.5mg ml-1 alone (Group Ctrl) for postoperative i.v. PCA. PCA pump was programmed as followed: bolus dose 2ml, lockout interval 8 minutes and background infusion at a rate of 1ml h-1. The primary outcome was the incidence of nausea and vomiting within 24 hours after operation. Results: The incidence of nausea and total PONV during the first 2h period was significantly lower in the Group Dex than in the Group Ctrl (10% vs 25%, P=0.031 and 0.031, respectively). There were no significant differences in regard to the total incidence of PONV (41% vs 52%, P=0.204), PONV score, time to first onset of PONV, or the need for rescue antiemetics in the first 24 hr following surgery between the two groups. Conclusions: For female patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery, adding dexmedetomidine to morphine-based PCA reduced the incidence of early postoperative nausea but not total PONV within 24h after surgery.

Oral Diazepam

The efficacy of ginger for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting was studied in a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial in 108 ASA 1 or 2 patients undergoing gynaecological laparoscopic surgery under general anaesthesia. Patients received oral placebo, ginger BP 0.5g or ginger BP 1.0g, all with oral diazepam premedication, one hour prior to surgery. Patients were assessed at three hours postoperatively. The incidence of nausea and vomiting increased slightly but nonsignificantly with increasing dose of ginger. The incidence of moderate or severe nausea was 22, 33 and 36%, while the incidence of vomiting was 17, 14 and 31% in groups receiving 0, 0.5 and 1.0g ginger, respectively (odds ratio per 0.5g ginger 1.39 for nausea and 1.55 for vomiting). These results were essentially unchanged when adjustment was made for concomitant risk factors. We conclude that ginger BP in doses of 0.5 or 1.0 gram is ineffective in reducing the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
