Post operative nausea and vomiting is a frequent complication following general anaesthesia and surgery. There is frequently the case of great distress to patient and it is often the worst memory, uncomfortable of their hospital stay. Prolonged post operative nausea and vomiting may cause unexpected physical, metabolic, psychological and economic effects on the patients which slow down their recovery and reduce their confidence in future surgery and anaesthesia. In the present study, we have the incidence of post operative nausea and vomiting in sixty (60) patients undergoing for elective procedure under general anaesthesia. The patients were randomly divided into two groups (group- P, group- G) of thirty (30) patients each.The Patients of group ‘P’ were received intravenous Inj. Palonosetron 75μg and group ‘G’ received intravenous Inj. granisetron 2.5mg (2.5ml) bolus over 30 second just before peritoneal closure. Both group received a standard general anaesthesia. Postoperative analgesia was provided with per rectal diclofenac suppository (50mg) and Inj. Ketorolac Tromethamine 30mg 8 hourly. In the recovery, postoperative room occurrence of nausea and vomiting was assessed for 24 hours. The incidence of post operative nausea and vomiting was reduced in both groups significantly but comparison between these two groups for prevention of PONV(postoperative nausea and vomiting) following elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery is similar. Palonosetron has more prolonged effect than granisetron. There was no evidence of any adverse side effects and whole of the post operative period was smooth.TAJ 2011; 24(2): 118-123

Postoperative nausea and vomiting are the common morbidity after general anaesthesia and surgery. One of the essential goals of anaesthetic management is to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting. The consequence of prolonged postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) ranges from unexpected admission of day patients with its economic implications to physical, metabolic and psychological effects on the patients which slow their recovery and reduced their confidence in future surgery and anaesthesia. The present study was designed to compare the efficacy of Granisetron with that of Ondansetron and Metoclopramide in the treatment and prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This study was also done to observe the incidence of nausea and vomiting in the postoperative period, to observe the requirement of rescue antiemetic, to find out the haemodynamic stability, saturation of arterial oxygen in these groups of subject and to detect the patients satisfaction by verbal rating scale after 24 hours of surgery. A total number of 90 patients, sex female, age range 30-50 years undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were selected. They were equally divided into three groups of 30 patients. They received a standard general anaesthesia. Group I received injection Granisetron (1mg), Group II received injection Ondansetron (8mg), Group III received injection Metoclopramide (10mg) 10 minutes before reversal of anaesthesia. Postoperative analgesia was provided with injection pethidine (1.5mg/kg/bd.wt.) intramuscularly 8 hourly. In the recovery room occurrence of nausea and vomiting was assessed for 24 hours. The incidence of emesis free (no nausea) was significantly higher in patients who received Ganisetron (90.0%, 27/ 30) than in those who received Ondansetron [(66.7%, 20/30), p=0.028] or metoclopramide [(40.0%, 12/30), p= 0.000].The incidence of vomiting free was significantly higher in patients who received Granisetron (93.3%, 28/30) than in those who received Ondansetron [73.3%, 22/30), p= 0.037] or Metoclopramide [46.7%, 14/30), p= 0.000]. Granisetron was associated with greater patients' satisfaction than Ondansetron and Metoclopramide 40%, 20% and 10% of patients respectively. No need for another rescue antiemetic medication was achieved in 86.7% of patients with granisetron, 70.60% with Ondansetron and 53.3% with Metoclorpramide. The haemodynamic variables, heart rate, blood pressure, SpO2 were recorded carefully in different time intervals. There was no significant difference among the study. So, it can be concluded that Granisetron is more effective than Ondansetron and Metoclopramide in the prevention and treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is common complication after general anesthesia and surgery. This randomized double-blind study was designed to compare the effects of acupressure wrist bands and palonosetron for the prevention of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia.Methods: Sixty ASA I and II patients undergoing elective laparoscopic surgeries under general anaesthesia were divided into two groups. In Group A patients, acupressure wrist bands were applied on p6 point on both hands half an hour before induction. Group P patients received inj. palonosetron 0.075 m.g. i.v. just before induction. Anaesthesia technique was standardized. Post-operatively patients were monitored for nausea, retching or vomiting upto 24 hours. If patients vomited more than once, they were given inj. Metoclopramide 10mg as rescue antiemetic. Efficacy of drugs was compared using Chi square test. ‘p’ value of <0.05 is considered significant.Results: The incidence of PONV and requirement of rescue antiemetic were lower in palonosetron group than acupressure wrist band group.Conclusions: Palonosetron is more effective than acupressure wrist band for prophylaxis of post- operative nausea and vomiting in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia, but acupressure wrist band can also be used as an alternative non-pharmacological method.
