We report a case of bilateral ocular deviation due to droperidol-induced acute dystonia that was initially undiagnosed. A 22-year-old, 72 kg, parturient at 42 weeks' gestation underwent emergency cesarean section for pregnancy-induced hypertension under combined spinal-epidural analgesia. The
The current Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) Guidelines recommend parenteral promethazine as the single agent for the treatment of opioid-induced nausea and/or vomiting and give a secondary indication of "synergistic analgesic effect." Promethazine, however, has a well-documented history of
A patient developed acute dystonia following intravenous administration of metocroplamide 20 mg. A 34-year-old woman underwent right hepatectomy, under general anesthesia managed with desflurane, remifentanil, and rocuronium. At the start of surgery, droperidol 1.5 mg was given intravenously for
BACKGROUND
Haloperidol 1 mg and ondansetron 4 mg are equally safe and effective for postoperative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis. We compared the combination to ondansetron alone in a mixed surgical population.
METHODS
Two-hundred and sixty-eight adults undergoing general anesthesia received 4 mg
Duloxetine is a balanced and potent serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor which is known to be effective in depression and anxiety disorders. The common adverse effects include dry mouth, nausea, insomnia, somnolence, dizziness and constipation. Reported adverse effects of the extra
Botulinum toxin (BTX) injection is considered the treatment of choice for patients with cervical dystonia (torticollis). We conducted a pilot, open-label, dose-escalation study with BTX type B in 12 patients who no longer responded clinically to injections with BTX type A. At the doses tested, BTX
Promethazine is an antihistamine agent used commonly for nausea and allergy. Along with its anticholinergic and antidopaminergic functions, promethazine is also used for psychiatric symptoms, such as troubling sleep, anxiety, and agitation. Previous studies have reported that We report two cases of acute dystonia in patients after receiving prochlorperazine to address nausea in the context of buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) therapy. Both were admitted for opioid withdrawal and developed nausea and vomiting refractory to ondansetron on the first hospital day.Within six
Metoclopramide is a dopamine antagonist that is widely used in gastroesophageal disease and chemotherapy-induced emesis in the paediatric population. It is also prescribed in nausea and vomiting caused by respiratory tract infections and enteritis in practice. The primary side-effect of the drug is
An 11-year-old girl had a one-day history of nausea and vomiting for which her family physician prescribed 4 suppositories of prochlorperazine 25 mg. Five hours after the last dose she developed dystonic posturing; she recovered rapidly after intramuscular injection of 40 mg orphenadrine.
Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is an important means for postoperative analgesia with parenteral opioid. However, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remains a major problem with a PCA system. Droperidol is used in PCA to prevent PONV. Extrapyramidal reactions by droperidol are, however,
We conducted a pilot study of intravenous droperidol in 35 patients (32 women and 3 men; mean age 43 years) with status migrainosus (n = 25) or refractory migraine (n = 10) in an ambulatory infusion center. Headache was graded as severe in 21 patients and moderate in 14. An intravenous line was
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is a rare, x-linked, recessive disorder of purine metabolism resulting in hyperuricemia, spasticity, choreoathetosis, dystonia, self-injurious behavior, and aggression, without significant cognitive impairment. Anesthetic management of inpatients who demonstrate classic
Prochlorperazine is frequently used in the treatment of refractory nausea and migraines. Known side effects include extrapyramidal symptoms such as akathisia and dystonia. We report a pregnant patient taking prochlorperazine for hyperemesis gravidarum who developed hemidystonia, which triggered an
BACKGROUND
Lurasidone, an azapirone derivative, is a novel second generation antipsychotic with potent binding affinity for dopamine D2, serotonin 5-HT2A, 5-HT7, 5-HT1A, and noradrenaline alpha2C receptors. This updated meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examined the short-term
