Post Operative Nausea

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.

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is still a common complication that occurs frequently at the time of recovery from eye surgery. Objectives: The present study aimed to compare the effect of oral Ondansetron and Ginger on the frequency and severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing eye surgery. Methods: A total of 148 patients were randomly assigned to Ginger, Ondansetron, and placebo groups. Group A received a Ginger capsule (1,000 mg), group B Ondansetron capsule (16 mg), and group C placebo capsule with 30 ml water, one hour before surgery. The frequency of nausea and vomiting and the severity of nausea were recorded immediately after recovery, 1, 2, and 4 hours after recovery. Also, some side effects following prescription such as headache, stomach ache, dizziness, and cardiac arrhythmias were recorded. Results: Of the 148 participants, 54% were men, and 46% were women. The average age was in group Ginger (36.14 ± 2.17), group Ondansetron (36.24 ± 2.49), and group placebo (36.24 ± 2.20). There was no significant difference in the frequency of vomiting between the three groups immediately after recovery (P = 0.19) and 4 hours after surgery (P = 0.18). However, the frequency of vomiting in Ginger and Ondansetron groups 1 and 2 hours after the surgery was significantly lower than that in the control group (P = 0.003). No significant difference was observed in the severity of nausea between the three groups at certain times (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in terms of the need for injection antiemetic drugs after surgery (P = 0.2). Conclusions: Ginger and Ondansetron can reduce the frequency of vomiting. However, Ginger was more effective, safer, and less expensive than Ondansetron; therefore, it may be a better substitute for Ondansetron to prevent PONV.

Background. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remain as common and unpleasant and highly distressful experience following ear, nose, and throat surgery. During ENT surgery, the incidence of PONV could be significantly reduced in patients who receive dexamethasone and propofol as prophylaxis. However, the comparative effectiveness of the two drugs has not been assessed. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of propofol and dexamethasone for prevention of PONV in ear, nose, and throat surgery. Methods. This study was conducted in 80 patients, with ASA I and II, aged 18–65 years, and scheduled for ENT surgery between December 20, 2017, and March 20, 2018. Patients were randomly assigned to Group A and Group B. Immediately after the procedure, Group A patients received single dose of intravenous (IV) dexamethasone (10 mg/kg) and Group B patients were given propofol (0.5 mg/kg, IV), and equal follow-up was employed. The incidence of PONV was noted at 6th, 12th, and 24th hour of drug administration. Independent t-test and Mann–Whitney test were used for comparison of symmetric numerical and asymmetric data between groups, respectively. Categorical data were analyzed with the chi-square test, and p value of < 0.05 was considered as level of significance. Results. The incidences of PONV throughout the 24-hour postoperative period were 35% in the propofol group and 25% in the dexamethasone group. Statistical significance was found in incidence of PONV (0% versus 22.5%) and use of antiemetic (0% versus 5%) between dexamethasone and propofol groups, respectively, at 12–24 hours. Over 24 hours, 5% in dexamethasone group and 12.5% in propofol group developed moderate PONV, while none of the participants felt severe PONV. Conclusions. Dexamethasone was more effective than propofol to prevent PONV with lower requirements of rescue antiemetics.

Objectives: The aim of our study which is to compare total intravenousanesthesia with target controlled infusion using the drugs Propofol and remifenatnil with thetechniques of volatile induction maintenance anesthesia using sevoflurane and sufentanil inpatients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure, at a tertiary care hospital inKarachi, Pakistan. Study Design: The type of study is a randomized control trial, conductedfor a period of 8 months Period: from June 2015 to January 2016 Setting: at a tertiary carehospital in Karachi Pakistan. Method: The patient population consisted of n=100 patientsbelonging to the ASA class I and II and undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure atour institute. The patients were divided into two groups group A consisted of all those patientswho underwent total intravenous anesthesia and group B consisted of patients who underwentvolatile induction maintenance anesthesia. Appropriate blinding measures were taken for thosewho were involved in the post-operative care of the patients, and the patients themselves. Duringthe procedure routine monitoring was done, data was recorded in a pre-designed proforma.Patients were analyzed in the post-operative period for side effects and pain levels. Statisticalanalysis was done using SPSS version 23, a p value of less than 0.05 was considered to bestatistically significant. Results: The patient population consisted of n= 100 patients dividedinto two groups. No statistically significant difference was found between the demographicvariables of the patients of both groups (age, weight, baseline values of blood pressure, heartrate, time duration of surgery and anesthesia). The time for the loss of corneal reflex was longerin the group A (109 +/- 90) as compared to group B (45 +/- 10) having a p value of less than0.001. However the time for opening of the eyes and the duration of post anesthesia care unitwas shorter in group A (420 +/- 130 seconds for eye opening and 45 +/- 15 min for PACU) andin group B (484 +/- 116 seconds for eye opening and 53 +/- 25 mins for PACU) having p valuesof 0.006 (eye opening) and 0.017 (PACU) respectively. In group A n= 44 (88%) of the patientsrequired rescue analgesia, and in group B n= 36 (72%) of the patients required it, having a pvalue of 0.013 respectively. The need for the use of ephedrine and atropine in the pre and portoperative period was similar in both the groups. Conclusion: According to the results of ourstudy we found that each method of anesthesia has its own advantages and disadvantagesand the anesthetist present should weigh the risks and benefits for each patient individually,and use the most beneficial method of administration of anesthesia in the patient undergoinglaparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure, accordingly.
