BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Emerging evidence exists supporting the use of nasally inhaled isopropyl alcohol swabs as anti-emetic therapy. Multiple studies report isopropyl alcohol inhalation as an effective treatment for post-operative nausea and vomiting, with no reported adverse events. This
In this study, inhalation of a study solution will be compared to inhalation of placebo, both in the form of preparation pads (a small square of material that contains the solution). Isopropyl alcohol may be a part of the preparation pads. A placebo is not a drug. It looks like the study solution
This investigation will be a randomized, subject-masked, active-controlled parallel-arm, human subjects clinical trial. Of note, the investigators will be using standard-of-care local anesthetic under an FDA-approved purpose and do not plan to research a possible change of indication or use of these

This study is a prospective randomized controlled trial to test the hypothesis that nasally-inhaled isopropyl alcohol (ISO) plus oral placebo has greater anti-emetic efficacy compared to oral ondansetron oral solution. By design, the study will be double-blinded insofar as neither investigators nor
Hypothesis:
0.5 % Bupivacaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine and 1% Ropivicaine provide longer duration analgesia than 0.5% Ropivicaine following a low dose ultrasound guided interscalene brachial plexus block (US-ISB)
Background and Rationale:
Severe pain following shoulder surgery is common and
Nausea is a common symptom encountered in the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) environment that is often treated with oral or intravenous anti-emetic medications. Post operative patients with modern anesthesia techniques and processes still have a 20-30% incidence of Nausea and/or vomiting. Nausea
Background and rationale
Hip fracture is a common injury in older people, with over 28,000 hip fractures occurring annually in Canada. Approximately 900 hip fractures occur in Edmonton each year. More than 90% of hip fractures result from simple low-energy falls. Many patients who survive do not
This study is to investigate if inhaling the scent of a typical medical alcohol prep pad will alleviate nausea as compared to a identically packaged normal saline prep pad for the Emergency Department patient with nausea. The study length will be 10 minutes long. The subjects will take several deep
This randomized, parallel-group, safety-assessor-blinded phase IV study will be conducted. The study is conducted in accordance with principles of Good Clinical Practice and is approved by the appropriate Institutional Review Boards and regulatory agencies. Written informed consent is obtained from
