Objectives: Comparing the effectiveness of combining ondansetron and dexamethasone vs ondansetron unaided in amounts suggested by SAMBA strategies for stoppage of post-operative nausea and vomiting in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients. Study Design: Randomized Control trial. Setting: Department of Anaesthesia, Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi. Period: Six months (April 2015–October 2015). Material & Methods: A sum of 160 patients were experimented by taking 80 in every group. Group A: of ondansetron. Group B: ondansetron plus dexamethasone. Significance level: 5% Test power: 80% Proportion of the projected population A is 72%1. Foreseen population percentage B is 88%1. Besides successive non-probability specimen system was taken for sample gathering. Patients who were selected were American society of anesthesiologists 1 & 2 while ones with struggle in communiqué e.g. psychologic issues, memory loss, loss of speech etc, pregnant and menstruating ladies3, known of PONV, motion disease, ear problems and vertigo, on long term steroid use3, anguished from diabetes mellitus, hiatal hernia were excluded. The frequency of side effects were duly scribed down and doses of drugs wrote down. Rescue anti vomiting was secondhand for ones of PONV. Results: We deduced that mixture of ondansetron & dexamethasone was effectual in averting post-operative nausea & vomiting equated to Ondansetron unaided. Conclusion: There is variance in incidence of PONV in mutual clusters with combination remedy of ondansetron plus dexamethasone being safer as equated to Ondansetron unaided.

Background Postoperative nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia are an unpleasant,distressing effects. Prophylactic use of dexamethesone reducing this effects. Objective This study was designed to compare of dexamethasone and ondansetron for prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods Sixty patients who underwent laparoscopic cholesystectomy were randomly allocated into two groups. Group A(n=30) patients received 8mg dexamehtasone intravenously and Group B(n=30) patients received 8mg ondansetron intravenously one minute before induction of anaesthesia. All patients received standard general anaesthesia.Perioperative vital signs and postoperative nausea and vomiting were recorded. Results The incidence of nausea was 13.4% in group A, 16.7% in group B(p>0.05) and vomiting was 6.6% in Group A, 13.4% in group B(p>0.05). The difference among the groups was not statistically significant. Conclusion Intravenous dexamethasone was better to ondansetron in prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Introduction: Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) is one of the commonest causes of significant morbidity in the patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of PONV when propofol and thiopentone were used as induction agents during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: A prospective, randomised comparative study was conducted in operation theatre at a tertiary level referral hospital of Nepal. A sample size of 100 ASA I - II patients aged between 18 and 70 years were included and scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The study population were divided into two groups: Group A (Propofol), n = 50 and Group B (Thiopentone), n = 50. These patients were followed up for the first 24 hours postoperatively for any PONV at 0-6 hrs, 6-12 hrs, 12-24 hrs. Results: Out of the 100 patients, PONV was observed almost similar in both groups. i.e. group A (Propofol) n = 31, (62%) and group B (Thiopentone) n = 26 (52%) with no statistical significance (p value = 0.1998) within the first 24 hours postoperatively in both groups; and no significant difference was observed at the different time intervals viz. at 0-6 hrs (p value 0.262): Group A = 45%; Group B = 40%; 6-12 hrs (p value 0.781): Group A = 17.5%, Group B = 22.5%; 12-24 hrs (p value 1.000) Group A = 0%; Group B = 2.5% when using the Fisher exact test. The mean ages for development of PONV in these two groups were: Group A = 40 years and Group B = 38 years. The p-value was 0.5125 which showed no statistical significance. In our study 76% (n = 38) were females and 24% (n = 12) were males in Group A; while 70% (n = 35) were females and 30% (n = 15) males in Group B. However, there was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of PONV. Conclusions: The study showed that there was a high incidence of PONV during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of PONV when propofol or thiopentone was used.

IntroductionLaparoscopic cholecystectomy has higher incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). In routine practice single dose of drug is given prophylactically during the surgery.ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare the antiemetic efficacy of two different 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 (5HT3) receptor antagonists, Ondansetron and Granisetron when given prophylactically to patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.MethodologyIt was a randomized, single blind study, conducted in 75 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients were divided into two groups: Group O and Group G. Patients in group O were given 0.1 mg/kg Ondansetron intravenously (IV) and patients in Group G were given 0.04 mg/kg Granisetron. The standard general anesthetic technique was administered to all the patients. Episodes of nausea, retching and vomiting were assessed during the first 24 hours after  anesthesia. Collected data was applied with appropriate test in SPSS 16 and overall significance level was considered at 95% confidence interval (p ≤ 0.05).ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference for demographic data among the two groups (P>0.05). Both drugs were similarly effective in first four hours (P>0.05). Between 4–12 hours and 12-24 hours, episodes of nausea and vomiting were higher in Ondansetron group.ConclusionThe incidence of PONV was significantly high in Ondansetron than in Granisetron given prophylactically in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Birat Journal of Health SciencesVol.2/No.1/Issue 2/ Jan - April 2017, page: 175-178

Introduction: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) have been termed as the “big little problem” for anesthesiology during laparoscopic surgery. Pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting are the most common causes of morbidity after anesthesia and surgery. We aimed to evaluate the effects of Ondansetron and Dexamethasone in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting following laparoscopic cholecystectomy, as well as to note any pharmacological side effects that occurred after their usage. Methods: In this prospective, randomized, double blind controlled study, trial was done after approval from the IRB and trail registry, 60 female patients of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and II, aged 18 to 65 years, weighing 50-60 kg, and standing 150 to 160 cm, were given institutional ethical committee clearance and written informed consent before undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (duration 90 minutes) under general anesthesia. Patients arriving in the operating room were sorted into two groups of 30 patients each. All patients were monitored after surgery, documenting vital signs and any difficulties that arose. For the first 12 hours after surgery, all bouts of PONV (nausea, vomiting, and retching) were documented. Each patient's data was gathered and tallied. Results: The patients in the study group were similar in age, weight, height, ASA status, and operation duration (p 0.05), and there was no significant statistical difference between the data gathered throughout the study Conclusions: Ondansetron is just as effective as Dexamethasone at lowering nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and it comes with less adverse effects.

Objectives: Minimally invasive epiduroscopy has recently been reported as an effective treatment procedure for chronic and intractable low back pain. However, no study has determined safe anesthetics for monitored anesthesia care during epiduroscopy. We aimed to compare and evaluate conventional monitored anesthesia care drugs with dexmedetomidine. Methods: A retrospective study including all patients who underwent epiduroscopy at the JR Tokyo General Hospital from April 2011 to March 2016 was designed. The epiduroscopy procedures were performed under anesthesia with dexmedetomidine plus fentanyl (dexmedetomidine group) or droperidol plus fentanyl (neuroleptanalgesia group). Patients who received analgesics other than fentanyl, another analgesic combined with fentanyl, any sedative other than dexmedetomidine or droperidol, or who had incomplete data were excluded. We compared (1) the type and dose of medication during the epiduroscopy and (2) the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Results: We identified 45 patients (31 and 14 in the dexmedetomidine and neuroleptanalgesia groups, respectively) with a mean age of 69.0 years. The two groups had comparable characteristics, such as age, sex, body mass index, the American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status, analgesics used in the clinic, comorbidities, history of smoking, and the duration of anesthesia. The dexmedetomidine group received a significantly lower fentanyl dose during surgery (126 ± 14 vs 193 ± 21 µg, mean ± standard deviation, p = 0.014) and exhibited a significantly lower incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (1 vs 3, p = 0.047) than the neuroleptanalgesia group. Conclusion: This study involved elderly patients, and the use of dexmedetomidine in monitored anesthesia care during epiduroscopy procedures in these patients may reduce the required fentanyl dose during surgery and the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. This strategy may help prevent respiratory depression and aspiration.

Background Nausea, retching and vomiting are among the most common postoperative complaints. Premedication with low dose midazolam in addition to ondansetron is more effective in controlling postoperative nausea and vomiting. Objectives This study was designed to observe the effect of low dose midazolam 7.5mg in addition to ondansetron 4mg on postoperative nausea and vomiting in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods 100 patients of ASA grade I and II, age range 30-50 years and weight 50-70 kg were randomly selected by a blind envelop method. They were equally divided into four groups of 25 patients in group each. Group I received vitamin, Group II ondansetron 8mg, Group III ondansetron 8mg and midazolam 7.5mg and Group IV ondansetron 4mg and midazolam 7.5 mg orally one hour before operation. In the recovery room occurrence of nausea and vomiting was assessed for 24 hours. Results The incidence of nausea was in vitamin Group I 64%, in ond8 group II 32%, in ond8+mid7.5 group III 24% and in ond4+mid7.5 group IV 24%. The incidence among the groups was highly significant (p=0.008). The incidence of vomiting was in vitamin Group I 16%, in ond8 group II 16%, in ond8+mid7.5 group III 8% and in ond4+mid7.5 group IV 8%. The difference among the groups were not significant (p=0.808). Conclusion Low dose midazolam 7.5mg in addition to ondansetron 4mg is more effective in controlling postoperative nausea and vomiting in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Objective: To assess symptoms of nausea and vomiting in laparoscopic cholecystectomy post-operatively, administered anesthesia by sevoflurane or propofol and to assess the effect of dexamethasone and ondansetron anti-emetic combination. Study design & Setting: It was an experimental study design conducted from 08-Oct-2017 till 11-Jul-2018 at Rawal General & Dental Hospital. Methodology: Patients were recruited in interventional groups by lottery method as n=160, with 80 cases allocated in each group. The patients with gallstones planned for laparoscopic cholecystectomy after preoperative assessment were classified to American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical status class I-II. All the patients placed in a particular ASA physical status class were (exposed to both induction methods) either anesthetic induction by propofol 1-2 mg/kg (group-A) or by employing sevoflurane 4-8% (group-B) in combination with oxygen, while maintenance was done in both study groups with 2% sevoflurane and 50% nitrous oxide in oxygen. After procedure patients stayed in post-anesthesia care unit where intra-operative monitoring was evaluated. The primary end point of the study was to note the rate of nausea and vomiting in 24 hours interval after surgery. Results: Both sevoflurane and propofol are equally effective anesthetic induction agents. The same combination of dexamethasone and ondansetron was given to both groups and so the actual effect of both anesthesia drugs in terms of side effects were nullified. Conclusion: In laparoscopic cholecystectomy, both sevoflurane and propofol are good enough when administered with dexamethasone and ondansetron anti-emetic combination, for post-operative nausea and vomiting up to 24 hours observation time in study.

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
