Comparative efficacy of prophylactic protocols in reducing perioperative nausea and vomiting during video-assisted thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer. Sci Rep 2024; 14:9818. [PMID: 38684769 PMCID: PMC11059372 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-59687-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Lung cancer, a global mortality leader, often necessitates Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic (VATS) surgery. However, post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is common, highlighting a need for effective management and prevention strategies in this context. A retrospective case-control study at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital evaluated patients undergoing VATS radical resection of lung cancer between May and September 2022. Patients were categorized based on PONV prevention methods, and data encompassing demographics, surgical history, and postoperative adverse events s were analyzed to assess the association between prophylactic protocols and PONV incidence. The Netupitant and Palonosetron Hydrochloride (NEPA) group showed a significant reduction in PONV occurrences post-surgery compared to Ondansetron (ONDA) and Control groups, emphasizing NEPA's efficacy in alleviating PONV symptoms (P < 0.05). Furthermore, following VATS radical resection of lung cancer, NEPA markedly reduced the intensity of PONV symptoms in patients. Both univariate and multivariate logistic analyses corroborated that NEPA independently reduces PONV risk, with its protective effect also apparent in susceptible populations like females and non-smokers. NEPA utilization markedly reduced both the incidence and severity of PONV in patients undergoing VATS radical resection of lung cancer, serving as an independent protective factor in mitigating PONV risk post-surgery.

Abstract
Purpose Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a major problem after surgery. This study aimed to demonstrate the incidence of PONV and the potential associated factors in female patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery against the background of double prophylactic therapy. Methods Our retrospective study recruited 109 female patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery with double prophylactic therapy, combining palonosetron with dexamethasone, from October 2020 to March 2021, at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China. Patient characteristics and perioperative management factors were included in univariate and multivariate analyses to identify factors influencing PONV. Results Four patients lacked complete records, and of the 105 patients included in the final analysis, 53 (50.5%) patients developed PONV. Two influencing factors for PONV were identified: a history of chemotherapy (odds ratio [OR] 0.325, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.123-0.856; p = 0.023) and dosage of hydromorphone ≥ 0.02 mg/kg (OR 2.857, 95% CI 1.247-6.550; p = 0.013). The performance of the multivariate logistic regression was evaluated by analyzing receiver operating characteristic curves, resulting in an area under the curve value of 0.673. Conclusion The incidence of PONV remains high in female patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery, even with double prophylactic therapy. A dosage of hydromorphone ≥ 0.02 mg/kg may increase risk of PONV, whereas a history of chemotherapy might be a protective factor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) affects 30% of surgical patients undergoing anesthesia. PONV is a substantial cause of increased length of stay, cost of care, and unanticipated patient admission and readmission. LOCAL PROBLEM Seventy percent of patients received PONV prophylaxis; PONV assessment was performed in only 63% of patients in this hospital system. METHODS A standardized PONV preoperative assessment checklist and a best practice advisory (BPA) were implemented in our electronic medical record (EMR) and charting system. Anesthesia providers and postanesthesia care unit (PACU) nurses completed training on patient management for PONV, including preoperative assessment and BPA use. RESULTS The PONV preoperative assessment achieved high adoption, and providers followed its recommendations in more than 90% of cases. During the 6-month implementation phase, PONV rates decreased from 56% to 43.6%. CONCLUSIONS Implementing a standardized, electronic PONV preoperative risk assessment checklist and a BPA effectively reduced PONV rates in this hospital system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The neuroendoscopic approach has the advantages of a clear operative field, convenient tumor removal, and less damage, and is the development direction of modern neurosurgery. At present, transnasal surgery for sphenoidal pituitary tumor is widely used. But it has been found in clinical practice that some patients with this type of surgery may experience post-operative nausea and vomiting and other discomforts. AIM To explore the effect of reserved gastric tube application in the neuroendoscopic endonasal resection of pituitary tumors. METHODS A total of 60 patients who underwent pituitary adenoma resection via the endoscopic endonasal approach were selected and randomly divided into the experimental and control groups, with 30 in each group. Experimental group: After anesthesia, a gastric tube was placed through the mouth under direct vision using a visual laryngoscope, and the fluid accumulated in the oropharynx was suctioned intermittently with low negative pressure throughout the whole process after nasal disinfection, during the operation, and when the patient recovered from anesthesia. Control group: Given the routine intraoperative care, no gastric tube was left. The number of cases of nausea/vomiting/aspiration within 24 h post-operation was counted and compared between the two groups; the scores of pharyngalgia after waking up, 6 h post-operation, and 24 h post-operation. The frequency of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage and intracranial infection were compared. The hospitalization days of the two groups were statistically compared. RESULTS The times of postoperative nausea and vomiting in the experimental group were lower than that in the control group, and the difference in the incidence of nausea was statistically significant (P < 0.05). After the patient woke up, the scores of sore throat 6 h after the operation and 24 h after operation were lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The number of cases of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage and intracranial infection was higher than that of the control group, but there was no statistically significant difference from the control group (P > 0.05). The hospitalization days of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Reserving a gastric tube in the endoscopic endonasal resection of pituitary tumors, combined with intraoperative and postoperative gastrointestinal decompression, can effectively reduce the incidence of nausea, reduce the number of vomiting and aspiration in patients, and reduce the complications of sore throat The incidence rate shortened the hospitalization days of the patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to assess the impact of nonpharmacological nursing interventions on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). DESIGN This is a systematic review. METHODS MEDLINE, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Tübitak-ULAKBİM, and TRDizin databases were searched for the following search terms, including "Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting," "Nurse," "Nursing," and "Nonpharmacological Interventions" to identify nonpharmacological nursing interventions for PONV. A systematic review of English and Turkish articles published in the period between January 1, 2012 and June 1, 2023 was conducted. The PICOT-SD method was used to determine the compatibility of the pieces with the eligibility criteria. FINDINGS Fifty-eight of 3,874 articles obtained from databases fulfilled the eligibility criteria. This study demonstrated that acupuncture, aromatherapy, the oral intake of ginger, listening to music, education, and visits to patients decreased the incidence of nausea and vomiting and increased the quality of life. Additionally, it was found that patients' quality of life tended to improve along with reductions in postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study support previous findings in the literature and demonstrate that nonpharmacological nursing interventions help reduce and prevent PONV. Based on our results, we suggest that nonpharmacological nursing interventions can be employed for the management of PONV in patients undergoing surgery.

Abstract
In modern perioperative care concepts, multimodal ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) is a multimodal perioperative treatment concept for improving postoperative recovery of surgical patients after an operation. This is managed by the so-called ERAS Society and through which hospitals can also be officially certified. The focus of the ERAS concept is on uniform patient care from admission to discharge, with the aim of improving perioperative processes by implementing evidence-based protocols involving a multidisciplinary treatment team. In 2019, ERAS guidelines were published for the first time by the European Society of Thoracic Surgery (ESTS), in cooperation with the ERAS Society, for specific lung resection procedures, and these identified a total of 45 graduated recommendations or Enhanced Recovery Pathways (ERP). The implementation of ERAS concepts in thoracic surgery (ERATS = Enhanced Recovery After Thoracic Surgery) is intended to establish standardised perioperative procedures based on study results and/or expert recommendations. These recommendations take into account organisational aspects as well as thoracic surgical and anaesthesiological procedures, with the overriding goal of creating a structured treatment plan tailored to the patient. All these measures should result in a multimodal overall concept, which should primarily lead to an improved outcome after elective thoracic surgery and secondarily to shorter hospital stays with correspondingly lower costs.This review article describes basic ERAS principles and provides a compact presentation of the most important European ERAS recommendations from the authors' point of view, together with typical obstacles to the implementation of the corresponding ERATS program in German thoracic surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a hospital-made resuscitation pack, a Chinese medicinal herbal compound formula designed to enhance recovery in post-bronchoscopy patients. METHODS In this randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, eligible patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to either the treatment or control groups. The patients in the treatment group applied the resuscitation pack, which contained aromatic compounded Chinese herbs. The patients in the control group applied a hospital-made, single herb placebo pack. Packs were placed on the Tiantu (CV 22) acupuncture point for 4 h as soon as the bronchoscopy finished. Efficacy indicators, such as recovery time, patients' symptoms including nausea and dizziness, and adverse events (AEs) were observed and compared. The outcome indices were evaluated at baseline, 1 and 24 h after the bronchoscopy. Subgroup analysis was further performed by patients' age and depth of sedation. RESULTS When applying generalized estimating equations (GEE) to evaluate the intensity of post-bronchoscopy nausea and vomiting, the intensity was lower in the treatment group (163 cases) compared with the control group (162 cases; 95% CI: 0.004, 0.099, P=0.03]. Also, significantly lower intensity of nausea was observed in the 60-70 years of age subgroup (95% CI: 0.029, 0.169, P=0.006) and deep sedation subgroup (95% CI: 0.002, 0.124; P=0.04). There was no significant difference in dizziness between two groups by GEE (95% CI: -0.134, 0.297; P=0.459). In addition, no serious AEs were observed in either group. CONCLUSIONS Our study found that the resuscitation pack markedly improved patients' symptoms by reducing nausea and vomiting after bronchoscopy without AEs, compared with placebo in the perioperative period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited real-world data regarding the use of droperidol for antiemetic prophylaxis in intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA). This study aimed to evaluate the antiemetic benefits and sedation effects of droperidol in morphine-based IV-PCA. METHODS Patients who underwent major surgery and used morphine-based IV-PCA at a medical center from January 2020 to November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The primary outcome was the rate of any postoperative nausea and/or vomiting (PONV) within 72 h after surgery. Propensity score matching was used to match patients with and without the addition of droperidol to IV-PCA infusate in a 1:1 ratio. Multivariable conditional logistic regression models were used to calculate adjusted odds ratios (aORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS After matching, 1,104 subjects were included for analysis. The addition of droperidol to IV-PCA reduced the risk of PONV (aOR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.35-0.67, p < 0.0001). The antiemetic effect of droperidol was significant within 36 h after surgery and attenuated thereafter. Droperidol was significantly associated with a lower risk of antiemetic uses (aOR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.41-0.80, p = 0.0011). The rate of unintentional sedation was comparable between the patients with (9.1%) and without (7.8%; p = 0.4481) the addition of droperidol. Postoperative opioid consumption and numeric rating scale acute pain scores were similar between groups. CONCLUSIONS The addition of droperidol to IV-PCA reduced the risk of PONV without increasing opiate consumption or influencing the level of sedation. However, additional prophylactic therapies are needed to prevent late-onset PONV.

Association between intraoperative hypotension and postoperative nausea and vomiting: a retrospective analysis of 247 thyroidectomy cases. BRAZILIAN JOURNAL OF ANESTHESIOLOGY (ELSEVIER) 2023; 73:635-640. [PMID: 33766682 PMCID: PMC10533957 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjane.2021.02.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2020] [Revised: 01/25/2021] [Accepted: 02/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are major complications after general anesthesia. Although various pathways are involved in triggering PONV, hypotension plays an important role. We hypothesized that intraoperative hypotension during general anesthesia might be responsible for the incidence of PONV. METHODS We retrospectively investigated patients who underwent thyroidectomy. The initial blood pressure measured before induction of anesthesia was used as the baseline value. The systolic blood pressure measured during the operation from the start to the end of anesthesia was extracted from anesthetic records. The time integral value when the measured systolic blood pressure fell below the baseline value was calculated as area under the curve (AUC) of s100%. RESULTS There were 247 eligible cases. Eighty-eight patients (35.6%) had PONV. There was no difference in patient background between the patients with or without PONV. Univariate analysis showed that the total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) (p=0.02), smoking history (p=0.02), and AUC-s100% (p=0.006) were significantly associated with PONV. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that TIVA (OR: 0.54, 95% CI: 0.29...0.99), smoking history (OR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.37...0.96), and AUC-s100% (OR: 1.006, 95% CI: 1.0...1.01) were significantly associated with PONV. CONCLUSION Intraoperative hypotension evaluated by AUC-s100% was related to PONV in thyroidectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of quadratus lumborum nerve blocks (QLB) for pain control following elective total hip arthroplasty (THA) has increased substantially in recent years. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare outcomes from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) utilising QLBs following elective THA. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were searched for RCTs perioperative QLBs for THA. Quantitative synthesis was conducted for pain scores, opioid consumption and adverse events. RESULTS A total of 7 RCTs with 429 patients undergoing THA were included. No differences in pain scores were demonstrated between QLBs and control interventions. Subgroup analysis demonstrated no differences between QLBs and sham procedures or active comparators. No differences in postoperative opioid consumption between QLB and control interventions was found. In trials reporting adverse events, they were rare and similar between groups. Overall, the certainty of the evidence was graded as low or very low. CONCLUSIONS The current literature suggests that a QLB for THA does not reduce pain or opioid consumption compared to sham or active comparators.

Evaluation of the Role of Preoperative Oral Amisulpride as Part of a Multimodal Antiemetic Prophylaxis Regime on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in Patients Undergoing Craniotomy: A Prospective, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study. J Neurosurg Anesthesiol 2023:00008506-990000000-00077. [PMID: 37604488 DOI: 10.1097/ana.0000000000000936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing craniotomy are at high risk for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) despite the use of prophylactic antiemetics. We hypothesized that a single preoperative oral dose of amisulpride as part of a multimodal antiemetic regimen would decrease the incidence of PONV in patients undergoing craniotomy for intracranial tumor surgery. METHODS Adult patients scheduled for elective craniotomy requiring general anesthesia were enrolled and randomized to receive either oral amisulpride 25 mg or placebo 2 hours before surgery in addition to our institution's usual antiemetic regimen. The primary outcome of the study was the incidence of nausea and/or vomiting during the first 24 hours postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included severity of nausea, use of rescue antiemetic medications, and treatment-related adverse events. RESULTS A total of 100 patients were included in the analysis. More patients in the amisulpride group had no episodes of nausea (90% vs. 40%; P<0.001) and no episodes of vomiting (94% vs. 46%; P<0.001) compared with the placebo group. The severity of nausea was lower in the amisulpride group than in the control group in the first 4 hours after surgery (P<0.05), and fewer patients receiving amisulpride required rescue antiemetics (P<0.001). The incidence of treatment-related adverse events was similar between groups. CONCLUSIONS A single preoperative oral dose of amisulpride 25 mg as a component of a multimodal antiemetic regimen decreased the incidence and severity of PONV in patients undergoing craniotomy for intracranial tumor surgery, with no adverse effects.

[PMID: 37631357 PMCID: PMC10459602 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15082143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting are defined as the most common of side effects of treatment and, at the same time, are very difficult to accept for patients', frequently causing changes in the therapy regimen, significantly reducing its effectiveness. Thus, an antiemetic prophylactic is essential to the provision of such a therapy for the patient. Pharmacotherapy often includes various drugs, including antiemetics, with the administration of such drugs by injection through two separate catheters being the preferred method. However, the co-administration of drugs and parenteral nutrition admixtures (PNAs) requires the consideration of compatibility, stability and potential negative interactions. To meet the purposes of clinical pharmacy, a compatibility test of ondansetron, dexamethasone and hydrocortisone with paediatric PNAs was conducted. PNAs differ in the composition of amino acid source (Primene® or Aminoplasmal Paed® 10%) and the type of injectable lipid emulsion (Lipidem® 200 mg/mL, Clinoleic® 20%, SMOFlipid® 200 mg/mL, Intralipid® 20%). An in vitro evaluation was performed in a static way as a simulated co-administration through a Y-site. The drug PNA ratios were determined based on the extreme infusion rates contained in the characteristics of medicinal products. All calculations were performed for a hypothetical patient aged 7 years weighing 24 kg. As a result of this study, it can be concluded that all tested PNAs showed the required stability in the range of parameters such as pH, osmolality, turbidity, zeta potential, MDD and homogeneity. The co-administration of antiemetic drugs does not adversely affect lipid emulsion stability. This combination was consistently compatible during the evaluation period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE PONV reduces patient satisfaction and increases hospital costs as patients remain in the hospital for longer durations. In this study, we build a preliminary artificial intelligence algorithm model to predict early PONV in patients. METHODS We use R for statistical analysis and Python for the machine learning prediction model. RESULTS Average characteristic engineering results showed that haloperidol, sex, age, history of smoking, and history of PONV were the first 5 contributing factors in the occurrence of early PONV. Test group results for artificial intelligence prediction of early PONV: in terms of accuracy, the four best algorithms were CNNRNN (0.872), Decision Tree (0.868), SVC (0.866) and adab (0.865); in terms of precision, the three best algorithms were CNNRNN (1.000), adab (0.400) and adab (0.868); in terms of AUC, the top three algorithms were Logistic Regression (0.732), SVC (0.731) and adab (0.722). Finally, we built a website to predict early PONV online using the Streamlit app on the following website: ( https://zhouchengmao-streamlit-app-lsvc-ad-st-app-lsvc-adab-ponv-m9ynsb.streamlit.app/ ). CONCLUSION Artificial intelligence algorithms can predict early PONV, whereas logistic regression, SVC and adab were the top three artificial intelligence algorithms in overall performance. Haloperidol, sex, age, smoking history, and PONV history were the first 5 contributing factors associated with early PONV.

Abstract
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common complication after surgery and can lead to additional complications and delayed discharge. This descriptive, cross-sectional study assessed the prevalence of PONV and its associated factors in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery. The study was conducted between November 2020 and July 2021 with 149 patients in a public hospital in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey. In the first 48 hours after surgery, 40.9% of the patients had nausea and 17.4% had vomiting. Gender, age, medical diagnosis, surgical procedure, operative time, postoperative opioid use, and anxiety were identified as significant risk factors for PONV after orthopaedic surgery (p < .05). These factors should be considered during postoperative follow-up, and patients who are older, female, and have prolonged operative time or anxiety should be monitored more closely for PONV.

Abstract
Background The current research compared the effectiveness of dexamethasone with ondansetron in terms of the frequency of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methodology A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Surgery, Civil Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan, between June 2021 and March 2022. All patients aged between 18 and 70 years who were scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia were included in the study. All women who were on antiemetics or cortisone before surgery pregnant, and had hepatic, or renal malfunction were excluded. Group A included patients who were administered 8 mg of dexamethasone intravenously, and group B included patients who were prescribed 4 mg of ondansetron intravenously. Observation of patients was done for any symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, or the need for any antiemetic medication after the surgery. The number of episodes of vomiting and nausea was recorded in the proforma along with the duration of stay in the hospital. Results A total of 259 patients were examined during the study - 129 (49.8%) in the dexamethasone group (group A) and 130 (50.2%) in the ondansetron group (group B). The mean age of group A was 42.56 ± 11.9 years, with a mean weight of 61.4 ± 8.5 kg. The mean age of group B was 41.19 ± 10.8 years, with a mean weight of 62.56 ± 6.3 kg. Upon assessing the effectiveness of each drug in preventing nausea and vomiting, postoperatively, it was found that both drugs were equally effective in preventing nausea in the majority of the patients (73.85% vs. 65.89%; P = 0.162). However, ondansetron was significantly more effective in preventing vomiting in patients than dexamethasone (91.54% vs. 79.07%; P = 0.004). Conclusions This study concluded that the use of either dexamethasone or ondansetron effectively reduces the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. However, ondansetron was significantly more effective in reducing the incidence of vomiting in patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy than dexamethasone.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify the factors predictive of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. DESIGN This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. METHODS In total, 172 patients completed the study. "The Questionnaire Form," "Visual Analog Scale," "Nausea Scale," and "Anxiety Specific to Surgery Questionnaire" created by the researchers were used for data collection. FINDINGS At the second postoperative hour, 55.8% of the patients had nausea, 20.3% had vomiting and 75% had severe pain. The severity of nausea, vomiting, and pain decreased with time. Age, gender, smoking, motion sickness, postoperative pain, opioid use, preoperative fasting time, time of first postoperative fluid intake and preoperative anxiety score were found to be among the factors predictive of PONV (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS High rates of postoperative nausea and vomiting were recorded. The factors predictive of PONV can be evaluated in the preoperative period, and PONV can be controlled with early interventions and treatment of patients in the risk group.

Abstract
Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a usual complication in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Minimized opioid use due to surgery has been shown to have a better effect on patient recovery after surgery. In this study we evaluate the effect of opioid free anesthesia for postoperative nausea and vomiting in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Materials and methods: 80 patients aged 20-65 years old were included in this randomized, clinical and prospective trial. The patients belonged to the ASA classifications 1 and 2 and were scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients were classified into two groups: group 1 (fentanyl group- FG), which included 40 patients who received opioid anesthesia, and group 2 (opioid free anesthesia group-OFAG) which included 40 patients who received opioid free anesthesia. In patients from group 1 (fentanyl group -FG) introduction to general anesthesia consisted of giving midazolam at 0.04 mg/kg, fentanyl at 0.002 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg of propofol and 0.6 mg/kg of rocuronium bromide. These patients received fractionated bolus doses of fentanyl during surgery. Prior to general anesthesia these patients did not receive dexamethasone. The patients from group 2 (opioid free anesthesia group - OFAG) received dexamethasone at 0.1 mg/kg and 1 g of paracetamol before introduction to anesthesia as a pre-emptive analgesia. Introduction to anesthesia consisted of giving midazolam at 0.04 mg/kg, lidocaine at 1 mg/kg, propofol at 2 mg/kg, ketamine at 0.5 mg/kg, and 0.6 mg/kg of rocuronium bromide. Immediately after intubation, continuous intravenous infusion with lidocaine at 2 mg/kg/h and magnesium sulfate at 1.5 g/h was given. In this group, fentanyl was not given either during the introduction of anesthesia or during the intraoperative period. Immediately after extraction of the gallbladder patients from group 2 (OFAG) received 2.5 g of metamizole intravenously. PONV were recorded in the postoperative period of 24 hours after surgery. Results: There was no significant difference with respect to age, weight, sex, duration of surgery, and anesthesia time. PONV at different time intervals were statistically not significant at all postoperative time points - 1 hr, 4 hr, 8 hr, 12 hr and 24 hr after surgery in fentanyl group compared to opioid free anesthesia group. Even not statistically significant, PONV have occurred more often in patients who received opioid anesthesia. Conclusion: Postoperative nausea and vomiting occurs more often in patients who received opioids during laparoscopic cholecystectomy compared to patients who received opioid free anesthesia, but without statistical significance.

Abstract
Purpose To observe the effect of different antiemetic drugs for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after gynaecological day surgery under remimazolam general anesthesia. Methods One hundred ninety-two patients were selected for gynaecological day surgery and randomly divided into three groups: droperidol group (DD group), tropisetron group (DT group) and control group (DC group). Flurbiprofen axetil 50 mg and dexamethasone 5 mg were given intravenously before induction of anesthesia, and 2 min later droperidol 1 mg was given intravenously to the DD group, tropisetron 5 mg to the DT group and saline (5 ml) to the DC group. Induction of anesthesia: remimazolam 6 mg/kg/h was continuously infused until sleep, mivacurium 0.2 mg/kg and alfentanil 20ug/kg were slowly pushed, 3 min later intubation was performed to control breathing. Maintenance of anesthesia: 40ug/kg/h of alfentanil, 1 mg/kg/h of remimazolam continuous infusion. After awakening and extubation, the patient was transferred to the PACU. PONV were recorded in the PACU and an electronic questionnaire was pushed 24 h after surgery. Results The incidence of PONV within the PACU was significantly lower in the DD (14.5%)and DT(26.7%) groups than in the DC(50%) group (p < 0.01), there was no significantly difference between the DT and DD groups. There were no significant difference in the incidence of PONV in 24 h after surgery between the three groups(DD:DT:DC = 44.5%:45.1%:63.8%,p > 0.05). Conclusions Droperidol or tropisetron combined with dexamethasone is superior to dexamethasone alone for the prevention of PONV in the PACU after remimazolam combined with alfentanil anesthesia, with no significant difference in the incidence of PONV in 24 h after surgery.

Abstract
Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a patient-specific concern. Ambulatory breast surgeries are on the rise with higher chances of PONV among the recipient women. PONV remains one of the concerns of unanticipated readmission leading to additional cost of surgery along with patient dissatisfaction. There are limited works of literature about PONV and its prevention in breast surgeries. The primary objective of this study was to compare the prophylactic antiemetic efficacy of ondansetron monotherapy with that of the combination of ondansetron and dexamethasone in the prevention on PONV in breast surgeries by observing the incidence of PONV. Secondary objectives were to assess the percentage of participants requiring rescue antiemetics, know the side effects of drugs, and analyze the effect of the surgical duration of breast surgeries in both groups. Methods: Group ondansetron (O) received 0.1 mg/kg IV ondansetron and group ondansetron and dexamethasone (OD) received 0.1 mg/kg IV ondansetron and 0.1 mg/kg of dexamethasone. The incidence of PONV in the first 24 h, percentage of population receiving rescue antiemetics, surgical duration, and hemodynamic parameters were noted. Results: In the 0 h to 6 h postoperative period, 38.9% of participants of group O had PONV, whereas only 13.9% in group OD had PONV, which was statistically significant ( P < .016). About 30.6% of study population in group O and 8.3% in group OD required rescue antiemetics which was statistically significant ( P = .017). Surgical duration of more than 120 min had a statistically significant higher incidence of PONV in the O group with a P-value of .048. Conclusion: The combination of prophylactic ondansetron with dexamethasone is more efficacious than ondansetron alone for the prevention of PONV in women undergoing breast surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair is commonly performed with a 1 to 2 night hospitalization. Our aim was to compare the feasibility and short-term outcomes of same-day surgery (SDS) laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair with an opioid-based anesthesia protocol (OBAP) vs an opioid-free anesthesia protocol (OFAP). STUDY DESIGN Outcomes and pharmacy costs of repairs with OBAP were compared with OFAP. Values were expressed as median (interquartile range) and costs as means. RESULTS There were 244 primary laparoscopic repairs. OBAP was used in 191 of 244 (78.3%) vs OFAP in 53 of 244 (21.7%). The length of stay was 1 day (0 to 2) vs 0 days (0 to 1), p = 0.006. There was no difference between the percentage of patients requiring analgesics and dosage between the 2 groups. SDS was planned in 157 and performed in 74 of 122 (60.7%) vs 33 of 35 (94.3%), p < 0.001. The age was 56 years (45 to 63) vs 60 years (56 to 68), p = 0.025. There were more type I hiatal hernia in SDS-OBAP and more type III and IV in SDS-OFAP, p = 0.031. American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status was II (II-III) vs III (II-III), p = 0.045. SDS was not performed in 50 of 157 (31.8%), 48 of 122 (39.3%) vs 2 of 35 (5.7%), p < 0.001. Out of 157 planned SDS, nausea/retching were causes of transition in 19 of 122 (15.6%) vs 0 of 35 (0%), p = 0.020. Multivariable logistic regression showed the odds of SDS were 8.21 times (95% CI 3.10 to 21.71; p < 0.001) greater in OFAP compared with OBAP, adjusting for sex, age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status, type of hiatal hernia, type of procedure, and duration of the operation. Patients with opioid medication after SDS discharge were 74 of 74 (100%) vs 22 of 33 (66.7%), p < 0.001. CONCLUSIONS Opioid-free anesthesia increases the feasibility of SDS hiatal hernia repair with less perioperative nausea and comparable pain control and pharmacy cost.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting are common uncomfortable symptoms experienced by patients. Besides drugs, non-pharmaceutical therapies such as herbal medicine therapy are available. Ginger has played a therapeutic role in patients undergoing chemotherapy and pregnant women, but results from postoperative patients are inconsistent. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine and evaluate the preventive effect of ginger on postoperative nausea and vomiting. DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials METHODS: Two independent researchers searched Chinese and English databases from their inception dates to November 2020. The Chinese databases used were CNKI and SinoMed, and the English databases used were PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. We only included randomized controlled trials. The primary outcomes were nausea score, presented as standard mean difference, and the number of vomiting episodes, presented as risk ratio. The secondary outcomes were side effects and antiemetic drug use, presented as risk ratios. We used the random-effects model. RESULTS Fourteen randomized trials with a total of 1,506 patients were pooled. At the different time points, the control group had higher postoperative nausea scores than the experimental group, and the differences were significant between the ginger and placebo groups at 2, 6, and 12 h after operation, with standard mean differences and 95% confidence intervals of -1.10 and -1.95 to -0.25, -1.54 and -3.05 to -0.03, and -2.04 and -3.67 to -0.41, respectively. Except in the recovery room, no statistically significant correlation was found between ginger intake and postoperative vomiting, postoperative nausea and vomiting, or antiemetic drug use. CONCLUSION The results of this meta-analysis demonstrate that ginger can reduce postoperative nausea but showed no significant difference in the incidence rates of postoperative vomiting, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and antiemetic drug use. More high-quality and rigorous trials are needed to elucidate the relationship between ginger intake and the reduction in the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Retrospective Study on the Application of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Measures to Promote Postoperative Rehabilitation in 50 Patients With Brain Tumor Undergoing Craniotomy. Front Oncol 2021; 11:755378. [PMID: 34868964 PMCID: PMC8633504 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.755378] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Accepted: 10/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To investigate whether enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) can promote rehabilitation of patients after neurosurgical craniotomy. Methods The clinical data of 100 patients with brain tumor undergoing craniotomy in the Department of Neurosurgery, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, from January 2018 to August 2020 were collected, including 50 patients in the ERAS group and 50 patients in the control group. t-Test, Wilcoxon’s rank sum test, and chi-square analysis were used to compare the clinical characteristics, prognosis, and hospitalization time between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in gender, age, and other general clinical data between the two groups (p > 0.05). The days of antiemetic drugs applied in the ERAS group were less than those in the control group (1.00 vs. 2.00 days, p = 0.003), and the proportion of patients requiring analgesics was lower than that of the control group (30% vs. 52%, OR = 0.41, 95% CI 0.18–0.93, p = 0.031). The time of urinary catheter removal and that of patients starting ambulation in the ERAS group were shorter than those in the control group (16.00 vs. 24.00 h, and 1.00 vs. 2.00 days, p < 0.001, respectively); and the hospital length of stay (LOS) in the ERAS group was shorter than that in the control group (Total LOS, 13.00 vs. 15.50 days; Postoperative LOS, 7.00 vs. 10.00 days, p < 0.001). By analyzing the prognosis of patients in the ERAS group and control group, we found that there was no significant difference in postoperative complications and Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score 1 month after operation between the two groups. Conclusion The application of ERAS in craniotomy can accelerate the postoperative recovery of patients without increasing the perioperative risk, which is worthy of wide application. However, whether the ERAS measures can reduce the postoperative complications and improve the prognosis of patients still needs more large-scale case validation and multicenter collaborative study.

J Perianesth Nurs 2021; 36:564-572. [PMID: 34404603 DOI: 10.1016/j.jopan.2020.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2020] [Revised: 12/13/2020] [Accepted: 12/26/2020] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture therapy (AT) on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after gynecologic surgery (GS). DESIGN A meta-analysis using a systematic search strategy was performed. METHODS A comprehensive literature search of all published randomized controlled trials or prospective cohort studies assessing the effectiveness of AT on PONV in patients undergoing GS was conducted in three databases: PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library. The incidence of PONV, the use of rescue antiemetics, and side effects of AT were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 software. FINDINGS Nine randomized controlled trials and one prospective cohort study identified in the literature search from database inception (1966) to December 31, 2019, including 1,075 participants were included in the present study. AT significantly reduced the risk of developing postoperative nausea and postoperative vomiting by 48% (relative risk = 0.52; 95% confidence interval, 0.44 to 0.61; P < .00001) and 42% (relative risk = 0.58; 95% confidence interval, 0.49 to 0.68; P < .00001), respectively. No significant differences in the incidence of side effects such as bleeding and needle pain were observed between groups (P = .54). AT was also associated with a lower rate of rescue antiemetic usage (P < .00001) and a higher degree of satisfaction with postoperative recovery (P < .0001). Moreover, the optimal therapeutic effect of AT on preventing PONV was achieved when the treatment time was controlled within 30 minutes and transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation was applied. CONCLUSION AT is an effective and safe physical therapy for the prophylaxis of PONV in patients undergoing GS.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study aimed to determine the prevalence and coping strategies for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postdischarge nausea and vomiting (PDNV) in patients undergoing outpatient surgery. DESIGN A descriptive research design was used. METHODS This descriptive study was carried out with 350 patients who were admitted within the scope of outpatient surgery of the ear, nose, and throat; orthopaedics, urology, and general surgery departments of a university hospital between July 3, 2017 and March 6, 2018. A patient diagnosis form consisting of 34 items developed by the researcher and nausea-vomiting diary were used to collect data. FINDINGS The results showed that 30.6% of the patients had PONV and 26.3% had PDNV. Of the 92 patients with postdischarge nausea, 26.1% experienced mild, 44.6% moderate, 20.7% high, and 8.7% severe nausea. Among the strategies for coping with PDNV, the patients preferred resting (49%), going outdoors (23.4%), eating something (17%), and drinking something (10.6%). A statistically significant difference was found between postdischarge nausea and risk factors for nausea-vomiting, such as female gender, history of nausea-vomiting, nausea in the postanesthesia care unit, and opioid use in the postanesthesia care unit (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS This study shows that approximately a quarter of patients who undergo outpatient surgery will experience nausea and vomiting immediately after surgery as well as at home after discharge. Assessment of risk factors for PONV/PDNV was discovered to be an important factor in the care of perioperative patients. Therefore, the risk scoring system is expected to contribute to reducing PONV/PDNV incidence and improving patient coping strategies and satisfaction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Complicated appendicitis encompasses a spectrum of severity with heterogeneity in definition and substantial variation in care. Enhanced recovery after surgery or 'fast-track' protocols aim to reduce practice variation by standardizing care. These initiatives may improve quality and efficiency of care, preserve resources and expedite discharge. This study aims to evaluate the impact of a standardized Enhanced Recovery Pathway (ERP) on the post-operative recovery of children with a subset of complicated appendicitis termed 'advanced' appendicitis. METHODS We defined advanced appendicitis as gangrenous or suppurative appendicitis without perforation, contained iatrogenic perforation, or localized purulent fluid. Children with operative findings reflecting these criteria were enrolled in the ERP protocol. Key protocol components include early upgrade of diet, avoidance of intravenous analgesia, abridged intravenous antibiotics, early ambulation and standardized discharge criteria. The study period was May 2018 to June 2019. A historical cohort was used as the comparator group. RESULTS Outcomes for 44 children treated under the ERP were compared to 44 historical controls. There was a 20% reduction in median post-operative length of stay (1.80 vs. 2.24 days, p = 0.02). Intravenous analgesia was received by fewer patients (6.8% vs. 36.4%, p = 0.01) with significant reduction in antiemetic requirement (p = 0.03). No significant difference in 30-day complication rates was observed. CONCLUSION Reduced post-operative length of stay and reduction in practice variation were achieved after implementation of a 'fast-track' protocol for children with advanced appendicitis. Additional benefits of this protocol include reduced provision of intravenous morphine analgesia, decreased resource use and cost savings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block (QLB) is a truncal block with several technique variations. It has been reported as providing effective analgesia for postoperative pain. OBJECTIVES The aim of this review was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of QLB for postoperative analgesia. The primary outcome was cumulative opioid consumption at 24 h postoperatively. The main secondary outcomes were the time to the first rescue opioid analgesic, pain scores at 24 h postoperatively and the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). DESIGN This was a systematic review and meta-analyses of observational studies and randomised controlled trials (RCTs). PRISMA-P guidelines were followed, and the review was registered in PROSPERO. GRADE was used to assess the quality of evidence. DATA SOURCES The search was performed from several databases (Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL and the Cochrane CENTRAL) from inception up to June 2019. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA RCTs and prospective observational studies that investigated the postoperative analgesic properties of US-guided single shot QLB in adult patients undergoing abdominal or hip surgery were included. QLB was compared with other analgesics. RESULTS Twenty-seven studies constituting 1557 patients were reviewed. Twelve studies with 803 patients were included in the meta-analysis on the primary outcome. Overall opioid consumption at 24 h postoperatively was reduced [mean difference, -11.15 (95% CI, -15.33 to -6.97) mg, I2 = 99%, moderate certainty in GRADE] and the time to the first opioid analgesic was longer in patients with QLB: 7 studies with 499 patients, mean difference, 189.32 (95% CI, 114.4 to 264.23) min, I2 = 98%. There were no differences in pain grades. The incidence of PONV was lower in patients with QLB [11 studies with 744 patients, OR 0.40 (95% CI, 0.27 to 0.58), I2 = 7%]. Reported complications and adverse effects of QLB were minimal. CONCLUSION QLB reduced postoperative opioid consumption, prolonged the time to the first rescue opioid analgesic and diminished the incidence of PONV. QLB appears to be an applicable option for postoperative analgesia after abdominal and hip surgery. REGISTRATION NUMBER PROSPERO, https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, CRD42016039921.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a risk prediction nomogram of postoperative sleep disturbance (PSD) in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data on 881 consecutive patients who underwent non-cardiac surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University between June 2020 and April 2021 were prospectively collected. Of these, we randomly divided 881 non-cardiac patients into two groups, training cohort (n = 617) and validation cohort (n = 264) at the ratio of 7:3. Characteristic variables were selected based on the data of training cohort through least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify the independent risk factors associated with PSD that then were incorporated into the nomogram. The predictive performance of the nomogram was measured by concordance index (C index), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and calibration with 1000 bootstrap samples to decrease the over-fit bias. RESULTS PSD was found in 443 of 617 patients (71.8%) and 190 of 264 patients (72.0%) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The perioperative risk factors associated with PSD were female sex, anxiety, dissatisfaction of ward environment, absence of combined regional nerve block, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), the longer duration stayed in post anesthesia care unit (PACU), the higher dose of midazolam and sufentanil, the higher postoperative numeric rating score for pain (NRS) score. Incorporating these 9 factors, the nomogram achieved good concordance indexes of 0.82 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.78-0.85) and 0.80 (95% CI, 0.74-0.85) in predicting PSD in the training and validation cohorts, respectively, and obtained well-fitted calibration curves. The sensitivity and specificity (95% CIs) of the nomogram were calculated, resulting in sensitivity of 74.0% (70.0-78.2%) and 75.3% (68.4-81.7%) and specificity of 79.3% (72.5-85.2%) and 70.3% (58.4-80.7%) for the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Patients who had a nomogram score of less than 262 or 262 or greater were considered to have low or high risks of PSD presence, respectively. CONCLUSION The proposed nomogram achieved an optimal prediction of PSD in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. The risks for an individual patient to harbor PSD can be determined by this model, which can lead to a reasonable preventive and treatment measures.

Abstract
Elderly patients operated for hip fracture are characterized by high age and high degree of comorbidity and need of care, factors previously found to be associated with swallowing and eating difficulties. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of swallowing and eating difficulties in an elderly postoperative hip fracture population and to identify factors associated with swallowing and eating difficulties. A cross-sectional multi-center pilot study was performed, including patients ≥65 years, operated for hip fracture, and able to participate in a swallowing and eating assessment. A clinical assessment was conducted using Danish versions of the standardized tools Volume-Viscosity Swallow Test and Minimal Eating Observation Form-version II. Demographic data and clinical characteristics were examined. A total of 78 patients (mean age 81.4 years (SD 7.8), 30.8% male) were included. Swallowing and eating difficulties were present in 60 patients (77%). Swallowing and eating difficulties were significantly associated with living in a nursing home before hospital admission (p = 0.014), low habitual New Mobility Score (p = 0.018), and absence of cardiac comorbidity (p = 0.023). The results underline the importance of focusing on swallowing and eating difficulties in elderly patients operated for hip fracture to ensure effectivity and safety and optimize the prognosis for the patient.

Abstract
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postdischarge nausea and vomiting (PDNV) remain common and distressing complications following surgery. The routine use of opioid analgesics for perioperative pain management is a major contributing factor to both PONV and PDNV after surgery. PONV and PDNV can delay discharge from the hospital or surgicenter, delay the return to normal activities of daily living after discharge home, and increase medical costs. The high incidence of PONV and PDNV has persisted despite the introduction of many new antiemetic drugs (and more aggressive use of antiemetic prophylaxis) over the last two decades as a result of growth in minimally invasive ambulatory surgery and the increased emphasis on earlier mobilization and discharge after both minor and major surgical procedures (e.g. enhanced recovery protocols). Pharmacologic management of PONV should be tailored to the patient’s risk level using the validated PONV and PDNV risk-scoring systems to encourage cost-effective practices and minimize the potential for adverse side effects due to drug interactions in the perioperative period. A combination of prophylactic antiemetic drugs with different mechanisms of action should be administered to patients with moderate to high risk of developing PONV. In addition to utilizing prophylactic antiemetic drugs, the management of perioperative pain using opioid-sparing multimodal analgesic techniques is critically important for achieving an enhanced recovery after surgery. In conclusion, the utilization of strategies to reduce the baseline risk of PONV (e.g. adequate hydration and the use of nonpharmacologic antiemetic and opioid-sparing analgesic techniques) and implementing multimodal antiemetic and analgesic regimens will reduce the likelihood of patients developing PONV and PDNV after surgery.

Gress K, Urits I, Viswanath O, Urman RD. Clinical and economic burden of postoperative nausea and vomiting: Analysis of existing cost data. Best Pract Res Clin Anaesthesiol 2020; 34:681-686. [PMID: 33288118 DOI: 10.1016/j.bpa.2020.07.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Revised: 07/01/2020] [Accepted: 07/13/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is an undesirable outcome that occurs in up to 30% of patients. Over the years, the cost of treating PONV has decreased due to the availability of cheaper yet effective antiemetics. Limiting PONV development benefits the hospital system as studies have shown that prevention is associated with shorter post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) stays as well as decreased supply costs and staffing burden. The financial burden for prophylaxis against PONV has been shown to be less than what patients are willing to pay to prevent the development of PONV. Studies have also shown that prevention of initial development of PONV limits readmission rates, which is beneficial to both the patient and the hospital. Owing to recent economic analysis and reductions in antiemetic prices, the patient's preference for comfort, the hospital's commitment to providing the best care, and the system's desire for fiscal prudence are aligned. This culminates in recommending PONV prophylaxis for all patients undergoing anesthesia.

Patients' Experiences of Pain and Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in the Early Postoperative Period After an Elective Knee Arthroplasty. J Perianesth Nurs 2020; 35:382-388. [PMID: 32340790 DOI: 10.1016/j.jopan.2019.11.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2019] [Revised: 11/19/2019] [Accepted: 11/25/2019] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to explore patients' experience of pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in the early postoperative period after knee arthroplasties. DESIGN This is a retrospective cohort study with a quantitative approach. Data from patients registered in the Swedish Perioperative Registry were used. We used the Strenghtening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines for cross-sectional studies. METHODS Data were collected from patients (N = 439) undergoing knee arthroplasties. The analysis was performed with descriptive and analytic statistics. FINDINGS The findings indicate that women experienced significantly higher levels of pain than men and suffered significantly more often from PONV. However, the relationship of postoperative pain and PONV was not significant. There was also no significance for the relationship among postoperative pain, PONV, and age. CONCLUSIONS Care needs to be sensitive to differences in experiencing pain and PONV depending on sex or gender bias, with a goal of increasing the equality in care.

Reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting in pediatric patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A quality report. Paediatr Anaesth 2020; 30:446-454. [PMID: 31894609 DOI: 10.1111/pan.13813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2019] [Revised: 12/19/2019] [Accepted: 12/29/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting after elective outpatient surgery can complicate discharge and increase patient suffering. Within our hospital system, there was variability in the use of postoperative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis for patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, which resulted in variable outcomes. To address this variability, we designed and implemented a standardized postoperative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis guideline for the care of this surgical population. AIM We sought to develop and implement a standardized postoperative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis guideline for all patients presenting for elective ambulatory anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with the goal of reducing the rate of emesis to ≤5%. METHODS We convened a multidisciplinary team to develop a postoperative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis guideline which included administration of dexamethasone, ondansetron, and a low-dose propofol infusion in addition to a femoral and sciatic nerve block and routine ketorolac administration for pain control. Our primary outcome, emesis rate, was tracked using a P-chart. Process measures included use of guideline medications and balancing measures included opioid administration, pain scores, and emergence time. RESULTS We analyzed postoperative nausea and vomiting outcomes for 817 patients from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2018. The baseline postoperative emesis rate for all anesthetizing locations was 17%. Following, guideline implementation, the emesis rate decreased to 5%. Opioid administration was decreased following guideline implementation. The percentage of patients managed without any perioperative opioids increased from 16% in the baseline group to 38% following guideline implementation. The P-chart suggests that the observed reduction in emesis rate represents special cause variation and this reduction was sustained over a two-year period. CONCLUSIONS Implementation of standard postoperative nausea and vomiting guidelines for adolescents undergoing outpatient anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was associated with lower emesis rates. This reduction in emesis rate may have been due to the concurrent reduction in opioids we observed following guideline implementation.

Abstract
Objective: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a daily phenomenon, to which less attention has been paid in a variety of surgeries. Despite the individual studies, there is no comprehensive study on the prevalence of PONV. The aim of this study was to determine the global prevalence of PONV. Materials and Methods: In this systematic and meta-analysis study, descriptive studies of four databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar) were searched for relevant texts from the time they were created until 31 December 2018. The random effects model was used for meta-analysis of studies included. All the steps were carried out by two individuals. Hoy et al.'s tool was used to evaluate its risk bias. Results: A total of 23 studies that were performed on 22,683 people from 11 countries were entered into the final phase. The prevalence of PONV, nausea, and vomiting was 27.7%, 31.4%, and 16.8%, respectively. The prevalence of PONV was higher during the first 24 h in European countries. Conclusion: Considering the high prevalence of PONV and our goal to better control it, it is necessary to use high cost-effective approaches and recommendations and to educate health caregivers and patients.

Abstract
Introduction Aprepitant (Emend®) is a novel antiemetic agent that works through antagonism of neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptors. To date, there are limited data regarding its use to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in children. We retrospectively reviewed our initial 12-months experience with aprepitant after it was made available for perioperative use. Methods The anesthetic records of patients who received aprepitant were retrospectively reviewed and demographic, surgical, and medication data retrieved. Results The study cohort included 31 patients (15 male and 16 female) ranging in age from 4 to 27 years (15.7 ± 7.4 years) and in weight from 14.4 to 175.7 kilograms (59.3 ± 30.2 kgs). Most of the patients (30 of 31) received the capsule form and 1 received the liquid. The average dose of aprepitant administered was 0.9 ± 0.6 mg/kg; however, only one patient received dosing expressed as mg/kg, and the majority received a 40 mg capsule. All of the patients in the cohort had either a previous history of PONV or risk factors for PONV. PONV occurred in the PACU in 1 patient and during the first 24 postoperative hours in 3 additional patients. No adverse effects related to aprepitant use were noted. Conclusion Aprepitant was easily added to the preoperative regimen for pediatric patients who may require it. Our approach limited overuse and subsequent cost concerns. Future studies with a comparator group and a greater sample size are needed to demonstrate its efficacy, especially in comparison to time-honored agents such as ondansetron. No adverse effects were noted in our limited study cohort.

Abstract
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a major concern for short-stay surgical patients because it can delay discharge and cause preventable postoperative complications, which in turn can increase hospital costs. Evidence suggests that aromatherapy effectively reduces PONV, either as a monotherapy or in conjunction with pharmacologic antiemetics. This quality improvement project investigated the effectiveness of aromatherapy in reducing PONV in a short-stay surgical population. The outcome of this project supported the hypothesis that the administration of blended aromatherapy would result in a significant decrease in patients' self-reported ratings of nausea. This finding suggests that aromatherapy is an appropriate adjunct therapy for decreasing patient nausea and vomiting in this short-stay surgical unit and may help prevent discharge delays in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Opioid therapy has been a cornerstone of perioperative pain control for decades in the United States, despite our increased understanding of the morbidity and mortality linked to opioids. The purpose of this study is to explore the safety, efficacy, and feasibility of an entirely opioid-free perioperative pathway in patients undergoing elective shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS Thirty-five patients undergoing elective total shoulder arthroplasty with a mean age of 71 (range, 50-87) years elected into a comprehensive opioid-free, multimodal pain management protocol. Opioid use was completely eliminated for all points in the perioperative period including during regional and general anesthesia. Data were collected regarding patient-reported pain, opioid consumption in the perioperative period, postoperative delirium, nausea, constipation, and falls. RESULTS Pain level at the primary outcome point of 24 hours or discharge was rated at 2.5 on the numeric rating scale. Stable, low pain scores were demonstrated at all time points postoperatively. Low rates of nausea, falls, and constipation were reported. Only 1 patient required "rescue" opioid medications during the in-patient stay, and an additional patient was given a low-dose opioid prescription at the 2-week postoperative appointment. CONCLUSIONS An opioid-free, multimodal pain management pathway is a safe and effective option in properly selected patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty with a very low risk of requiring rescue opioids. This study is the first such study to present a surgical protocol entirely free of opioids at all portions of the patient care pathway.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 receptor antagonists (ondansetron [OND]) versus dopamine receptor antagonists (droperidol [DRO]) in the prevention of postoperative nausea, vomiting (PONV) and headache by pooling data from open published studies. Methods Performed systematic electronic searches of PubMed, Embase, Google scholar and CNKI, to identify open-published prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs) relevant to the comparison of OND versus DRO for preventing PONV and headache to be included in the present study. The pooled PONV, headache, dizziness and drowsiness were calculated based on the original data of each included study. The pooled data was presented with risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI). Results Thirteen prospective randomized clinical trials were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled PONV, post-operative nausea (PON) and positive operative vomiting (POV) were 0.67 (95%CI:0.48-0.93, p<0.05), 0.88 (95%CI:0.67-1.14, p>0.05) and 0.56 (95%CI:0.39-0.82,p<0.05) respectively for OND vs. DRO. And the overall pooled positive operative nausea and vomiting was 0.71(95%CI:0.60-0.86) by fixed effects model for OND vs. DRO. The pooled risk of postoperative headache, dizziness and drowsiness were 4.33 (95%CI:0.76-24.69, p>0.05), 0.63 (95%CI:0.21-1.87, p>0.05) and 0.48(0.28-0.81,p<0.05) respectively by fixed effect model for OND vs. DRO. Conclusion The post-operative nausea, vomiting and dizziness risks were significant decreased for patients receiving OND compared to patients receiving DRO.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine incidence, timing, and factors associated with postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients recovering in the ambulatory postanesthesia care unit (PACU). DESIGN Descriptive correlational, cross-sectional. METHODS Data were collected prospectively, including patient, surgery, anesthesia, and postoperative factors associated with PONV. Independent predictors of nausea were determined using logistic regression. FINDINGS In 139 randomly selected patients, 10.8% had nausea and 2.9% vomited. On arrival to the PACU, 3 patients had nausea, which increased incrementally to 10 during the next 90 minutes, declining to 3 by 150 minutes. These patients had significantly more hydration and longer PACU stays. Fifty-three percent had nausea at discharge. Younger age and gastroesophageal reflux disease were significantly and independently associated with nausea. CONCLUSIONS PONV is relatively infrequent, but remains a distressing problem resulting in negative surgical experiences and increased cost. Future research is warranted to examine gastroesophageal reflux disease as a novel risk factor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although case reports have suggested that the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) may help analgesia for patients after breast surgery, no study to date has assessed its effectiveness. This retrospective observational study analyzed the analgesic effects of the ESPB after total mastectomy. METHODS Forty-eight patients were divided into an ESPB group (n = 20) and a control group (n = 28). Twenty patients in the control group were selected by their propensity score matching the twenty patients in the ESPB group. Patients in the ESPB group were injected with 30 mL 0.375% ropivacaine, followed by catheter insertion for further injections of local anesthetics every 12 hours. Primarily, total fentanyl consumption was compared between the two groups during the first 24 hours postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included pain intensity levels (visual analogue scale) and incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). RESULTS Median cumulative fentanyl consumption during the first 24 hours was significantly lower in the ESPB (33.0µg; interquartile range [IQR], 27.0-69.5µg) than in the control group (92.8µg; IQR, 40.0-155.0µg) (P = 0.004). Pain level in the early postoperative stage (<3 hr) and incidence of PONV (0% vs. 55%) were also significantly lower in the ESPB group compared to the control (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Intermittent ESPB after total mastectomy reduces fentanyl consumption and early postoperative pain. ESPB is a good option for multimodal analgesia after breast surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research on adverse events (AEs) in outpatient surgery has been limited. As part of a Veterans Health Administration (VA) project on AE surveillance, we chart-reviewed selected outpatient surgical cases to characterize the nature and severity of AEs. METHODS We abstracted financial year 2012-2015 VA outpatient surgery cases selected with high (n = 1185) and low (n = 1072) likelihood of an AE based on postoperative health care utilization. The abstraction tool included established AE definitions and validated harm and severity scales. RESULTS We found AEs in 608 high-likelihood (51%) and 126 low-likelihood outpatient surgical procedures (12%). Among 1010 unique AEs, the most common were wound issues (n = 261, 26%), urinary retention (23%), and urinary tract infections (12%). While 63% of all AEs involved minimal harm, 28% required hospitalization, and 9% were severely harmful including 8 AEs requiring intervention to sustain life and 2 deaths. Overall, 102 AEs (10%) required, at minimum, a repeat surgery to treat. CONCLUSIONS Among VA outpatient surgical procedures selected based on likelihood of an AE, nearly 40% of identified events carried more than minimal patient harm, undermining the claim that outpatient surgery is relatively safe. Prevalent and preventable AEs such as wound dehiscence and urinary retention may be useful targets for quality improvement.

Abstract
This semiexperimental study on the effects of foot massage recruited 88 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy at the general surgery clinics of our hospital in Turkey (June 2017 to May 2018). Patients were assigned to either the intervention group (n=44, 10 min of classic foot massage) or the control group (n=44, no intervention). Pretest assessment, intervention, and posttest assessment were conducted within 1 to 6 hours postoperatively. Outcome measures included vital signs, pain, and nausea/vomiting symptoms. The intervention was associated with a significant decrease in pain scores and incidence of nausea. Despite being associated with an increase in body temperature, the intervention was also associated with a decrease in systolic blood pressure without increasing diastolic blood pressure or respiratory rate, suggesting a positive effect on blood circulation. Classic foot massage may serve as an affordable and useful way to help improve pain, nausea, and blood circulation after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Recovery after shoulder arthroscopy: Inpatient versus outpatient management. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2018; 104:39-43. [PMID: 29233760 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2017.10.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2016] [Revised: 10/05/2017] [Accepted: 10/10/2017] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Shoulder arthroscopy is particularly suited to outpatient surgery, thanks to advances in anesthetic and analgesic techniques. The main goal of this study was to compare postoperative recovery after shoulder arthroscopy between outpatient and inpatient management. HYPOTHESIS There is no difference in functional recovery between inpatient and outpatient management. MATERIALS AND METHOD A single-center, single-operator prospective study was conducted. Both groups received patient-controlled analgesia via an interscalene catheter. The inclusion criterion was shoulder arthroscopy for rotator cuff tendinopathy. The choice between inpatient and outpatient management was left to the patient. The study endpoint was postoperative recovery assessed on QOR-15 at days 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 and on Quick-DASH at 6 weeks. RESULTS Forty-nine patients were included, divided into 2 groups. The outpatient (OP) and inpatient (IP) groups were comparable. Reconstructive surgery accounted for 54% of cases in OP versus 62% in IP. There was no significant difference in recovery in the first postoperative days (QOR-15) or at 6 weeks (Quick-DASH) (p>0.05). Pain on visual analog scale (VAS) was significantly greater in OP after discharge home. DISCUSSION No significant difference in postoperative recovery was observed between groups. Nevertheless, pain management and patient information for outpatients need improving. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II, comparative study.

Abstract
Anaesthetic technique for open surgery of acute distal for arm fracture in adults/elderly is not well defined. Regional anaesthesia, general anaesthesia or a combined general and regional block may be considered. General anaesthetic technique, the timing and drug/drug combination for the regional block must also be considered. This is a study around published studies assessing anaesthtic technique for wrist surgery. A systematic database search was performed and papers describing the effect of anaesthetic techniques were included. We found sparse evidence for what anaesthetic technique is optimal for open wrist fracture repair. In total only six studies were found using our inclusion criteria, which all supported the short term, early recovery benefits of regional anaesthesia as part of multi-modal analgesia. More protracted outcomes and putting the type of block into context of quality of recovery and patients’ satisfaction is lacking in the literature. The risk for a pain rebound when the block vanishes should also be acknowledged. Therefore, further high quality studies are warranted concerning the anaesthetic technique for this type of surgery.

Abstract
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postdischarge nausea and vomiting (PDNV) remain common and distressing complications following surgery. PONV and PDNV can delay discharge and recovery and increase medical costs. The high incidence of PONV has persisted in part because of the tremendous growth in ambulatory surgery and the increased emphasis on earlier mobilization and discharge after both minor and major operations. Pharmacological management of PONV should be tailored to the patients' risk level using the PONV and PDNV scoring systems to minimize the potential for these adverse side effects in the postoperative period. A combination of prophylactic antiemetic drugs should be administered to patients with moderate-to-high risk of developing PONV in order to facilitate the recovery process. Optimal management of perioperative pain using opioid-sparing multimodal analgesic techniques and preventing PONV using prophylactic antiemetics are key elements for achieving an enhanced recovery after surgery. Strategies that include reductions of the baseline risk (e.g., adequate hydration, use of opioid-sparing analgesic techniques) as well as a multimodal antiemetic regimen will improve the likelihood of preventing both PONV and PDNV.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine effectiveness of aromatherapy (AT) compared with standard care (SC) for postoperative and postdischarge nausea and vomiting (PONV/PDNV) in ambulatory surgical patients. DESIGN Prospective randomized study. METHODS Patients (n = 254) received either SC or AT for PONV and interviewed for effectiveness of PDNV. Machine learning methods (eight algorithms) were used to evaluate. FINDING Of patients (64 of 221) that experienced PONV, 52% were in the AT group and 48% in the SC group. The majority were satisfied with treatment (timely, P = .60; effectiveness, P = .86). Of patients that experienced PDNV, treatment was 100% effective in the AT group and 67% in the SC group. The cforest algorithm was used to develop a model for predicting PONV with literature-based risk factors (0.69 area under the curve). CONCLUSIONS AT is an effective way to manage PONV/PDNV. Gender and age were the most important predictors of PONV.
