Background The sensory innervation of the lower jaw mainly depends on third root trigeminal nerve, mandibular nerve (V3). aim this single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was to evaluate effectiveness bilateral V3 block for postoperative analgesia management in osteotomies. Methods 107 patients undergoing surgery (75 scheduled osteotomies and 32 mandible f...

Background: Post-operative pain for thyroid surgeries under general anaesthesia is inadequately managed. Bilateral superficial cervical plexus block (BSCPB) surgery causes adequate analgesia without any significant side effects. Dexamethasone commonly used in to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). The study objective was comparison of efficacy between add-on intravenously Ropivaca...

BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common complication after general anesthesia, and the prevalence ranges between 25% and 30%. The aim of this study was to determine the preventive effects of dry cupping on PONV by stimulating point P6 in the wrist. METHODS This was a randomized controlled trial conducted at the Imam Reza Hospital in Kermanshah, Iran. The final study sa...

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and pain are two of the major concerns for patients presenting for surgery. The causes of PONV are multifactorial and can largely be categorized as patient risk factors, anaesthetic technique, and surgical procedure. Antiemetics work on several different receptor sites to prevent or treat PONV. This is probably why numerous studies have now demonstrated ...

Cardiac surgery has been associated with a significant incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). To assess the antiemetic property of midazolam, we undertook this double-blinded, randomized trial in 200 patients undergoing cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass, and we compared its efficacy with that of ondansetron in preventing PONV. Assessments on the occurrence of PONV...

BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the most common and distressing complications after general anesthesia and surgery, with young non-smoking females receiving postoperative opioids being high-risk patients. This register-based study aims to evaluate the effect of low-dose haloperidol (0.5 mg intravenously) directly after induction of general anesthesia to reduce the ...

Background In this prospective, non-randomized study, we tested the hypothesis if oculocardiac reflex (OCR) can be used as a predictor of postoperative nausea and vomiting following strabismus surgery in children. Methods 88 children aged between 2 and 16 years undergoing strabismus surgery were enrolled in the study between 2009 and 2011. All anaesthetic drugs were given in a specific sequence...

BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common complication after thyroidectomy. The aim of this article was to evaluate the efficacy of dexamethasone for prevention of PONV and pain in patients undergoing thyroidectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed this meta-analysis based on the QUORUM (Quality of Reporting of Meta-analyses) guidelines. Our study included randomized co...

BACKGROUND We compared the incidence and degree of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients who received general anesthesia with propofol or sevoflurane using the Rhodes index of nausea, vomiting, and retching (RINVR) to assess the degree of PONV quantitatively and objectively during the post-anesthetic period. METHODS We performed a prospective study involving 38 patients who un...

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) occur in 30-50% of patients undergoing general anesthesia and in 70-80% of high PONV risk patients. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of fosaprepitant, a neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonist, compared to ondansetron, a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist, in moderate to high PONV risk patients from our previous ra...
