BACKGROUND
Various recommendations exist for the treatment of nausea and vomiting in palliative care but only few studies and even less systematic reviews look into antiemetic therapy for patients receiving palliative care.
OBJECTIVE
This systematic review aims to analyze the current evidence for
In order to establish if anticholinergic drugs might influence postoperative nausea and vomiting, 100 ASA I-II adult patients scheduled for minor orthopaedic procedures, varicose vein stripping or inguinal herniorraphy were randomised to receive, in a double-blind fashion, either a premedicant and a
Non-specific abdominal complaints are a very frequent cause of discomfort. Even if only comparatively few are brought to the attention of the physician, they account for a considerable portion of the reasons for seeking medical care, both in acute and chronic conditions. On the other hand, few drugs
OBJECTIVE
To determine if anticholinergic agents improve fibreoptic intubating conditions and to compare the efficacy and side effects of glycopyrrolate and hyoscine.
METHODS
Eighty ASA I adults undergoing elective wisdom tooth extraction were randomly allocated to receive 0.4 mg hyoscine
Scopolamine hydrobromide (hyoscine) is an antimuscarinic drug which is primarily used in the prophylaxis and treatment of motion sickness and as a premedication to dry bronchial and salivary secretions. In acute overdosage, the main clinical problem is central nervous system (CNS) depression. In
A 9-year-old child was admitted to the hospital with congenital left ureteropelvic junction obstruction with massive left pyelocaliectasis and underwent dismembered pyeloplasty of the left kidney under general anesthesia without complications. Postoperatively, the child was placed on
A randomized double-blind clinically controlled investigation with a placebo was undertaken to investigate the prophylactic effect of transdermal scopolamine on postoperative nausea and vomiting after dilatation and curettage and termination of pregnancy. No significant difference was found between
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are distressing and frequent adverse events of anesthesia and surgery, with a relatively high incidence after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Numerous antiemetics have been studied for the prevention and treatment of PONV in patients scheduled for laparoscopic
BACKGROUND
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a significant problem in surgical patients. The 5-hydroxytryptamine3-receptor antagonists ondansetron, dolasetron, and granisetron are being used to prevent PONV and avoid the adverse events associated with traditional antiemetics such as
BACKGROUND
Scopolamine is a potent anticholinergic compound used commonly for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Scopolamine can cause atypical anticholinergic syndromes due to its prominent central antimuscarinic effects.
METHODS
A 47-year-old female presented to the emergency
The basic pharmacological mechanisms involved in mediating nausea and vomiting are still poorly understood. Several classes of drugs have been identified that alleviate the symptoms of nausea and vomiting, either prophylactically or acutely. None of these is completely effective in all cases. They
OBJECTIVE
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) continues to be one of the most common postsurgical medical problems. An understanding of the pathophysiology of PONV and the pharmacological profiles of agents affecting receptors involved in emesis is necessary to effectively treat
Management of radiation-induced nausea and vomiting (RINV) includes both prevention and therapy. Primary prevention involves implementation of measures to modify risk factors. Secondary prevention involves prophylaxis and treatment with 5HT(3) receptor antagonists (5HT(3)RAs) with or without
1. The aim of this study is to review the mechanisms implicated in nausea and vomiting and the treatment of these symptoms. 2. Metoclopramide, a benzamide, is the drug most frequently used to alleviate or abolish the majority of nausea and vomiting of different origin. Domperidone, which scarcely
