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: Laparoscopic surgeries are known to be associated with a higher incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Prophylaxis of PONV is usually achieved with a single-dose antiemetic drug administered during the surgical procedure. The aim of this study was to compare the antiemetic efficacy of two different 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 receptor antagonists, ondansetron and granisetron when given prophylactically to patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods: It was a randomized, double blind study, conducted in 90 patients. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A and Group B with 45 patients in each group. Patients in groupA were given 100microgram/kg ondansetron intravenously (IV),and patients in Group B were given 40 microgram/kg granisetron. Both the drugs were diluted in 10 ml of 0.9% NaCl and were given at the end of surgery. 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.Results: There was no statistically significant difference for demographic data and duration of surgery among the two groups (P > 0.05). Evaluated nausea and vomiting scores in the first 3hours period revealed that each of the drugs had a similar antiemetic effect (P > 0.05). Between 4–12 hours also the episodes of nausea, retching as well as vomiting were statistically insignificant in both the groups. In the last 12 hours, episodes of nausea, retching and vomiting were significantly higher in ondansetron group.Conclusions: Granisetron, when given prophylactically, resulted in a significantly lower incidence of PONV than ondansetron in the first 24 hours.Keywords: Granisetron; Laparoscopic cholecystectomy; Ondansetron; postoperative nausea vomiting.

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.

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.

Introduction. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations still continue to be a serious problem. Intravenous fluid administration has been shown to reduce PONV. Some patients have higher risk for PONV described by APFEL score. In this study, our aim was to determine the effects of preoperative intravenous hydration on postoperative nausea and vomiting in high Apfel scored patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.Patients and Methods. This study is performed with 50 female patients who had APFEL score 3-4 after ethics committee approval and informed consent was taken from patients. The patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 (P1): propofol + preoperative hydration and group 2 (P2): propofol + no preoperative hydration.Results. When the total nausea VAS scores of groups P1and P2to which hydration was given or not given were compared, a statistically significant difference was detected at 8th and 12th hours (P=0.001andP=0.041). It was observed that in group P1, which was given hydration, the nausea VAS score was lower. When the total number of patients who had nausea and vomiting in P1and P2, more patients suffered nausea in P2group.Discussion. Preoperative hydration may be effective in high Apfel scored patients to prevent postoperative nausea.

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.

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

This study was undertaken to find out the efficacy of oral premedication with ondansetron to prevent post-operative nausea and vomiting in diagnostic gynaecological laparoscopy assisted surgery and to compare it with metoclopramide. We studied fifty patients of ASA physical status I & II, aged between 18-30 years and body weight between 50-60 kgs. The patients were randomized in equal numbers into two groups; Group A patients were received Tab Metoclopramide 10 mg orally an hour before operation and regarded as control and Group B patients were received Tab Ondansetron (0.15 mg/kg) or total 8 mg orally an hour before operation as case. They received a standard general anesthetic. Post-operative analgesia was provided with per rectal diclofenac sodium (50mg). In the recovery room occurrences of nausea and vomiting was assessed for 24 hours. The incidence of nausea was 80% in Group-A, 24% in Group-B (p<0.001) and vomiting was 64% in Group-A, 16% in Group-B (p<0.001). The difference among the groups was statistically significant.

Background. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of common complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of subhypnotic (1 mg/kg/h) infusion of propofol with dexamethasone on PONV in patients undergoing LC.Methods. A total of 120 patients were included in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients were randomly assigned to 3 groups; patients of group dexamethasone (group D) were administrated 8 mg dexamethasone before induction of anesthesia, patients of group propofol (group P) were infused to subhypnotic (1 mg/kg/h) propofol during operation and patients of group control (group C) were applied infusion of 10% intralipid. The incidence of PONV and needs for rescue analgesic and antiemetic were recorded in the first 24 h postoperatively.Results. In the 0–24 h, the incidence of PONV was significantly lower in the group D and group P compared with the group C (37.5%, 40%, and 72.5%, resp.). There was no significant difference in the incidence of PONV and use of antiemetics and analgesic between group D and group P.Conclusion. We concluded that infusion of propofol 1 mg/kg/h is as effective as dexamethasone for the prevention of PONV during the first 24 hours after anesthesia in patients undergoing LC.
