atropine/vomiting

BACKGROUND Atropine has been used as a successful primary medical treatment for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Several authors have reported a higher rate of incomplete pyloromyotomy with the laparoscopic approach compared to open. In this study, we evaluated the use of atropine as a medical

BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common adverse effect of intrathecal morphine, especially after Cesarean section. This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of intrathecal administration of a small-dose of atropine on postoperative nausea and vomiting after

OBJECTIVE Postoperative nausea and vomiting prolong the time spent in postanesthesia recovery units. In this study, we investigated the effect of neostigmine and atropine combination, used to avoid residual curarization, on nausea and vomiting. METHODS The study included 40 ASA I-II patients who

Eighty patients undergoing outpatient surgery under general anaesthesia were allocated randomly to two groups: in group A residual neuromuscular block was antagonized with a mixture of neostigmine 1.5 mg and atropine 0.5 mg; in group B spontaneous recovery was allowed. The patients were assessed

OBJECTIVE Pediatric procedural sedation and analgesia (PPSA) with ketamine administration occurs commonly in the emergency department (ED). Although ketamine-associated vomiting (KAV) is a less serious complication of ketamine administration, it seems to be cumbersome and not uncommon. The authors

To investigate the effects of different types of anticholinesterase on the incidence of the postoperative nausea and vomiting, 100 ASA class I-II adult premenopausal female patients undergoing elective lower abdominal surgery were randomized into two groups. In both groups, anesthesia was induced

Although droperidol is often used to prevent emesis, vomiting is still common in children undergoing strabismus surgery. METHODS. One hundred children aged 3 to 12 years admitted for strabismus surgery were enrolled in a randomised, double-blind study to investigate the influence of the timing of

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of diazepam and atropine sulfate premedication in preventing nausea and vomiting after strabismus surgery under general anesthesia. METHODS Fifty children age 4 to 15 years who underwent strabismus surgery at Cukurova University Medical Faculty, Department of

Nausea and emesis are often observed as side effects with many medicines and may lead to poor treatment compliance. In the present study, we aimed to establish simple methods for predicting nausea and/or emesis in mice, which do not vomit, using drugs and chemicals known to evoke nausea and/or

The study was designed to compare the frequency and severity of postoperative vomiting in paediatric out-patients receiving controlled ventilation (IPPV) or breathing spontaneously (SV) during anaesthesia for strabismus repair. One hundred and twenty unpremedicated children (ages 2-12 years) were

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of acupressure wristbands in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). METHODS Two hundred ASA I-II patients undergoing elective endoscopic urological procedures were included in a randomized, prospective, double blind, placebo-controlled study.

The gastrointestinal motor correlates of vomiting consist of two contractile events, 1) a giant retrogradely propagated contraction of the upper small intestine, the retrograde giant contraction (RGC) and 2) a series of post-RGC phasic contractions that occur primarily in the lower small intestine.
