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.

The occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting is generally associated with anesthesia and surgery. The problem is compounded in cases of high-risk surgeries where the incidence is quite high. The present study was designed to compare the efficacy of Dexamethasone and Ondansetron. Methods: This study was undertaken at the Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences, Naganoor, Karimnagar. In this randomized, open clinical trial, we studied 80 ASA grades I to 1V patients of age group 20-60 years undergoing Laparoscopic Laparotomy, Major Gynecological surgeries, Renal, Shoulder and ENT surgeries under general anesthesia. The patients were randomly divided into two groups, Group I and Group II, each consisting of 80 patients. Group I received 4mg dexamethasone intravenous (IV) just after intubation and group II received 4mg Ondansetron intravenous (IV), just before extubation. Results: The most common age group was 50 – 59 years which had n=45(28.1%) patients out of which group I was n=24(15%) patients and n=21(13.1%) patients. The next common age group was 20 – 29 years out of which n=23 (14.4%) and n=18(11.2%). ondansetron group, early nausea is mild in 6.9%, moderate in 3.8%, and severe in 1.2% of patients. Whereas in the dexamethasone group early nausea is mild in 6.2%, moderate in 4.4%, severe in 1.9% of patients. In the ondansetron group, late nausea is mild in 9.4%, moderate in 3.8%, and severe in 0.6% of patients. Whereas in the dexamethasone group late nausea is mild in 7.5%, moderate in 4.4%, severe in 0.6% of patients. In the ondansetron group, early vomiting is mild in 5.0%, moderate in 0.6%, and severe in 0.6% of patients. Whereas in the dexamethasone group early vomiting is mild in 4.4%, moderate in 1.2%, severe in 0.6% of patients. Conclusion: dexamethasone given intravenously just after intubation and ondansetron given intravenously just before extubation are safe and have similar efficacy in postoperative nausea and vomiting after elective surgeries under general anesthesia having a high risk of PONV

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is common after anaesthesia and surgery. In patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) without antiemetic prophylaxis, the incidence can be as high as 76% which would cause unexpected delay in hospital discharge. This study was designed to compare the efficacy of the ondansetron alone with combination of ondansetron and dexamethasone the given as prophylaxis for PONV in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. One hundred patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups of 50 each. Group I received 4mg of ondansetron intravenously (iv), whereas Group II received ondansetron 4mg and dexamethasone 4mg just before induction of anaesthesia. Postoperatively, the patients were assessed for episodes of nausea, vomiting and need for rescue antiemetic. Complete response defined as no nausea and vomiting during first 24 hours, was noted in 76% of patients in Group I and in 92% of patients in Group II. Rescue anti emetic requirement was less in Group II (4%) than Group I (20%). So it can be concluded that the combination of ondansetron and dexamethasone is more effective in preventing PONV in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy than ondansetron alone.Faridpur Med.

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 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.

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

There is a passive blood flow to the stomach during oral and nasal surgery. It may cause postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). We researched the relationship between gastric decompression (GD) and severity of PONV in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgery. 137 patients who have been into ENT surgery were included in the study. In Group I (n=70), patients received GD after surgery before extubation; patients in Group II (n=67) did not receive GD. In postoperative 2nd, 4th, 8th, and 12th hours, the number and ratio of patients demonstrating PONV were detected to be significantly more in Group II as compared to Group I. PONV was also significantly more severe in Group II as compared to Group I. In Group I, the PONV ratio in the 2nd hour was significantly more for those whose amounts of stomach content aspired were more than 10 mL as compared to those whose stomach content aspired was less than 10 mL. In the 4th, 8th, and 24th hours, there is no statistically significant difference between the stomach content aspired and PONV ratio. GD reduces the incidence and severity of PONV in ENT surgery.

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.

ABSTRACT Introduction We compared the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) using propofol–air to inhalational anesthesia with isoflurane–nitrous oxide in day care patients at a tertiary care academic institution. Materials and methods We randomized 60 patients and assigned to either group I (inhalational anesthesia with isoflurane– nitrous oxide) or group II (TIVA with propofol–air). Incidence of PONV, use of anti-emetics, and duration of stay in the recovery were recorded for 72 hours by blinded observers. Results Total intravenous anesthesia reduced the PONV up to 72 hours by 27% among our patients (from 37 to 10%, p < 0.001). This effect was seen more in the early postoperative period. Overall, 13.3% of patients in the group I received antiemetic compared to 40% in group II. In our study, patients without PONV were discharged from the recovery room 15 minutes earlier after TIVA than after isoflurane and N2O anesthesia. Conclusion Total intravenous anesthesia with propofol and air resulted in a reduction of PONV compared with iso-flurane–nitrous oxide anesthesia. Overall, patients in group I required less rescue antiemetic, compared to group II. Total intravenous anesthesia resulted in shorter stay in the postoperative anesthetic care unit compared to isoflurane–N2O group.
