"Ondansetron" AND "Metoclopramide"

INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is associated with postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). We aimed to compare the effects of aprepitant on the incidence of PONV after LSG. METHODS: In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial, the case group received the standard care regimen for PONV (dexamethasone 10 mg, ondansetron 4 mg, and metoclopramide 10 mg) plus prophylactic oral aprepitant 80 mg 1 h preoperatively. The control group received standard care plus a placebo...

BACKGROUND: Individuals receiving hemodialysis have high incidence of sudden cardiac death and are susceptible to QT interval prolonging medication-related cardiac complications. Ondansetron, an antiemetic with known QT prolonging potential, is associated with fatal arrythmias in the general population when administered intravenously. The cardiac safety of ondansetron in the hemodialysis population is unknown. METHODS: We conducted a new-user, active-comparator, cohort study using US Renal Data System data (2012-2019) to examine the association between the initiation of oral ondansetron vs...

BACKGROUND: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after total joint arthroplasty is common and associated with delayed recovery. This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of three different prophylactic regimens for PONV after total joint arthroplasty under general anesthesia. METHODS: Patients undergoing primary total hip or knee arthroplasty were randomized to Group A (ondansetron), Group B (10 mg dexamethasone plus ondansetron and mosapride), or Group C (three doses of 10 mg dexamethasone plus ondansetron and mosapride)...

Introduction: The medicines information service, SafeMotherMedicine, regularly receives inquiries from breastfeeding women asking about antiemetics for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP) or hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). However, treatment guidelines for NVP or HG do not address the use of antiemetics in women who are breastfeeding while becoming pregnant again. Our objective was to characterize inquiries to describe the need for lactation risk information among women with NVP or HG and also to raise awareness of this topic...

Background Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is a major health concern in pediatric populations because of its associated vomiting, which worsens dehydration and the severity of illness.

For this purpose, 10 apparently healthy Egyptian Baladi donkeys ( Equus asinus ) were used in a crossover prospective study. Two trials were conducted with the administration of metoclopramide hydrochloride anhydrous at a dose of 0.25 mg Kg-1 and ondansetron hydrochloride sodium at a dose of 0.15 mg Kg-1 . The control group (placebo) received a total volume of 50 mL of isotonic saline at 0...

PURPOSE: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a frequent unappealing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) sequel. The study's purpose was to determine the prevalence, risk factors of PONV, and management of PONV after LSG. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This multicenter retrospective study included patients with morbid obesity who had LSG between January 2022 and April 2023. The age range for LSG was 16 to 65 years, and the eligibility requirements included morbid obesity according to international guidelines...

The dopaminergic system is implicated in the pathophysiology of migraine. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We explored the effects and mechanisms of dopaminergic system modulation in the in vivo and in vitro rat models of migraine. Dopaminergic agonist apomorphine, D2 receptor antagonists metoclopramide and haloperidol and 5-HT3 receptor antagonist ondansetron alone and together were tested in nitroglycerin-induced migraine model, in vivo. Likewise, the combinations of drugs were also tested on basal calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) release in vitro hemiskull preparations...

Objective: Ondansetron administration is a common antemetic of acute pancreatitis therapy in the intensive care unit (ICU), but its actual association with patients' outcomes has not been confirmed. The study is aimed to determine whether the multiple outcomes of ICU patients with acute pancreatitis could benefit from ondansetron. Methods: 1,030 acute pancreatitis patients diagnosed in 2008-2019 were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database as our study cohort. The primary outcome we considered is the 90-day prognosis, and secondary outcomes included in-hospital survival and overall prognosis...

PURPOSE: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a global public health problem and its current management is limited to rest and symptom management. Despite frequent use of drugs for symptom control, there is a lack of consensus on the optimal pharmacological management of post-concussive symptoms. We reviewed the relevant literature to compile the evidence about the pharmaceutical management of pediatric mTBI. METHODS: We performed a systematic review of the literature available in PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, and ClinicalTrials...

BACKGROUND: Droperidol is a butyrophenone, with antiemetic, sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic properties. Although droperidol was once widely used in both emergency and perioperative settings, use of the medication declined rapidly after a 2001 U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) boxed warning called the medication's safety into question. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this clinical review was to provide evidence-based answers to questions about droperidol's safety and to examine its efficacy in its various clinical indications...

INTRODUCTION: Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common problem after sleeve gastrectomy. In recent years, following the increase in the number of such operations, special attention has been paid to preventing PONV. Additionally, several prophylaxis methods have been developed, including enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) and preventive antiemetics. Nevertheless, PONV has not been completely eliminated, and the clinicians are trying to reduce the incidence of PONV yet...

TRANSESOPHAGEAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY (TEE) is carried out in various clinical settings, with an increasing importance, and sedation usually is required to perform it. Several sedative agents are available, and the authors aimed to compare the cardiovascular and respiratory safety of the strategies used for sedation in TEE through a systematic review with network meta-analysis (NMA). The MEDLINE, CENTRAL, EMBASE, and PsycInfo databases were searched in December 2020 for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing sedation strategies for patients undergoing TEE...

Monosodium glutamate induces behaviors thought to reflect headache and nausea in rats. We explored the effects of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist (2R)-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid, the inotropic glutamate receptor antagonist kynurenic acid, and the CGRP receptor antagonist olcegepant, on monosodium glutamate-induced increases in nocifensive, headache-like and nausea behaviours. Effects of these antagonists on motor function were examined with a rotarod. The effect of the dopamine receptor antagonist metoclopramide and the serotonin 3 receptor antagonist ondansetron on nausea behaviour was also assessed...

In the present study, we report a case of persistent intractable nausea and vomiting after a medullary infarction. Area postrema syndrome due to ischemic stroke is very rare. In this case, brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed an ischemic lesion in the lateral medulla extending caudally and dorsomedially. The patient presented with sustained nausea, vomiting, and poor oral intake over one month after the index stroke, even after resolution of dizziness and disappearance of nystagmus. She did not respond to intravenous metoclopramide with ondansetron...

BACKGROUND: Nausea and emesis can be, among other signs, common manifestations of acute vestibular system dysfunction in dogs. Currently, antiemetic drugs, such as maropitant and metoclopramide, are used commonly, but do not appear to control nausea. A non-placebo-controlled preliminary study suggested good efficacy of 5-HT3-receptor antagonists, such as ondansetron, against nausea in dogs with vestibular syndrome. OBJECTIVES: To assess and confirm the effect of ondansetron on behavior suggestive of nausea in dogs with vestibular syndrome...
