This study was conducted to determine the efficacy and safety of four intravenous (I.V.) doses of dolasetron, an investigational 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, for the treatment of postoperative nausea and/or vomiting (PONV) after outpatient surgery under general anesthesia. This multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial compared the antiemetic efficacy of 12.5, 25, 50, or 100 mg I.V. dolasetron with placebo over 24 h using complete response (no emetic episodes and no rescue medication), time to first emetic episode or rescue medication, and patient nausea and satisfaction with antiemetic therapy as rated by visual analog scale (VAS). Of 1557 patients enrolled, 620 patients were eligible for treatment. Complete response rates for all dolasetron doses--12.5 mg (35%), 25 mg (28%), 50 mg (29%), and 100 mg (29%)--were significantly more effective than placebo (11%, P < 0.05). There was a significant gender interaction for complete response (P < 0.01). Of the patients in the 25-mg and 100-mg dose groups, 12% and 13%, respectively, experienced no nausea (VAS score < 5 mm) versus 5% in the placebo group (P < 0.05). There were no clinically relevant changes in vital signs or laboratory values and no trends with dose for adverse events. Dolasetron is effective for treating PONV and has an adverse event profile similar to that of placebo. The 12.5-mg dose was as effective as larger doses for complete response. IMPLICATIONS: Nausea and vomiting are common problems for postsurgical patients. In this study of 620 patients undergoing surgery, a 12.5-mg dose of intravenous dolasetron, a new serotonin-receptor blocker, was significantly more effective than placebo in treating established postoperative nausea and vomiting. Dolasetron 12.5 mg was as safe as placebo.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Intravenous dolasetron mesilate has shown efficacy in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) when administered as a single dose prior to emergence from anesthesia. This trial compared intravenous dolasetron and ondansetron for the prevention of PONV when administered at induction of anesthesia. METHODS: This double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial randomized patients to one of four single IV treatments placebo, 25 or 50 mg dolasetron, or 4 mg ondansetron. Efficacy was measured by complete response (0 emetic episodes and no rescue medication), nausea severity and patient satisfaction as measured on a visual analog scale (VAS), investigator's rating, of nausea severity, and total response (complete response with no nausea [< or = 5 mm VAS]). RESULTS: 514 patients at 24 sites were evaluated for efficacy. The 50 mg dolasetron and 4 mg ondansetron doses were statistically equivalent, and superior to placebo, for all efficacy measures. Complete response rates were 49%, 51%, 71% and 64% for placebo, 25 and 50 mg dolasetron, and ondansetron, respectively. Dolasetron 50 mg was statistically superior to 25 mg dolasetron for complete response, total response, VAS maximum nausea, time to first emetic episode, and patient satisfaction. The majority of adverse events were of mild-to-moderate intensity. Headache was the most frequently reported treatment-related adverse event with a 3%-5% incidence across treatments. CONCLUSION: When given at induction of anesthesia, 50 mg intravenous dolasetron is equivalent to 4 mg ondansetron and superior to 25 mg dolasetron and placebo for the prevention of PONV. All treatments were safely administered and well tolerated.  相似文献

PURPOSE: The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) varies from 50% to 75% after gynaecological surgery under general anaesthesia. This study evaluates the dose-response relationships, safety, and efficacy of the new 5-HT3 antagonist, dolasetron mesylate, in the prevention of PONV in women undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH). METHODS: Three hundred and seventy four women scheduled for TAH under general anaesthesia were studied at 13 Canadian centres. Patients received in a randomized, double-blind manner 25, 50, 100, or 200 mg dolasetron or placebo po one to two hours before induction of anaesthesia. The anesthetic protocol was standardized. Efficacy was evaluated for 24 hr after surgery by comparing the number of emetic episodes, administration of rescue medication, severity of nausea, and patient satisfaction. RESULTS: Analysis of complete response (no emetic episodes and no rescue for 24 hr) revealed a linear dose-response relationship across dolasetron groups (P < 0.002). Dolasetron 100 mg (P < 0.003) and 200 mg (P < 0.01) were superior to placebo. The percentage of patients with no emetic episodes increased from 29.3% (placebo) to 54.1 % (100 mg). Subgroup analysis revealed ASA status (I > II), previous history of PONV, previous history of motion sickness, and total morphine dose (> 55 mg associated with less PONV than < 55 mg) influenced the incidence of emetic symptoms, but did not alter the results of the primary analysis. CONCLUSION: Prophylactic dolasetron (100 mg and 200 mg) reduces the incidence of PONV in patients having total abdominal hysterectomy.  相似文献

Dolasetron (dolasetron mesilate) is a pseudopelletierine-derived 5-HT3 antagonist which has recently become available for clinical use. It is rapidly converted in vivo to its active major metabolite, hydrodolasetron, which appears to be largely responsible for its pharmacological activity. In clinical trials, single intravenous or oral doses of dolasetron were effective in preventing acute chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). Intravenous doses of 1.8 mg/kg achieved complete suppression of vomiting in approximately 50% of patients receiving highly emetogenic cisplatin-containing chemotherapy and in approximately 60 to 80% of patients receiving moderately emetogenic chemotherapy. In the latter setting, oral doses of 200 mg achieved similar response rates. In comparative studies, intravenous dolasetron 1.8 mg/kg was as effective as intravenous granisetron 3 mg or ondansetron 32 mg after highly emetogenic chemotherapy, and oral dolasetron 200 mg was equivalent to multiple oral doses of ondansetron (3 or 4 doses of 8 mg) after moderately emetogenic chemotherapy. Dolasetron 1.8 mg/kg was superior to metoclopramide in preventing emesis induced by high dose cisplatin or by moderately emetogenic chemotherapy in high risk subgroups. Dolasetron has also shown efficacy in preventing radiotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (RINV) in preliminary studies. Single intravenous or oral dolasetron doses ranging from 12.5 to 100 mg and 25 to 200 mg, respectively, were significantly more effective than placebo in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in female surgical patients. A 50 mg intravenous dose was as effective in preventing PONV as ondansetron 4 mg in a mixed-gender group. Intravenously administered dolasetron was also effective in treating established PONV, although complete suppression of vomiting was achieved in < 40% of patients. Dolasetron has a tolerability profile characteristic of this class of compounds, with headache, dizziness and diarrhoea being the most commonly occurring adverse events in clinical trials. Diarrhoea is not thought to be related to dolasetron administration, being experienced mostly by patients receiving chemotherapy. Dolasetron and other 5-HT3 receptor antagonists have been associated with minor changes in ECG intervals, but these generally do not appear to be clinically important. Thus, available evidence suggests that dolasetron will provide an alternative to other 5-HT3 receptor antagonists for the management of CINV and PONV. Further studies are required to determine whether it offers any advantages over other agents in these settings and to determine the optimum dosage for preventing RINV.  相似文献

In this prospective, randomized, double-blinded study, we evaluated the efficacy of the oral antiemetics, granisetron and domperidone, for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in 100 women undergoing major gynecologic surgery. Patients received either granisetron 2 mg or domperidone 20 mg (n = 50 in each group) orally 1 h before surgery. Standardized anesthetic techniques and postoperative analgesia regimens were used. Complete response (defined as no PONV and no administration of rescue antiemetic medication) for 0-3 h after anesthesia was 88% with granisetron and 52% with domperidone; the corresponding incidence for 3-24 h after anesthesia was 86% and 48% (P < 0.05). No clinically important adverse events due to the drugs were observed in any of the groups. In conclusion, the efficacy of preoperative oral granisetron is superior to that of domperidone for the prevention of PONV after major gynecologic surgery. IMPLICATIONS: We compared the efficacy of granisetron and domperidone administered orally for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting in women undergoing gynecologic surgery. Preoperative oral granisetron was more effective than domperidone.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: This double blind parallel group study assessed the acute antiemetic efficacy of four oral doses of dolasetron mesylate in cancer patients receiving their first course of intravenous chemotherapy with doxorubicin and/or cyclophosphamide. METHODS: Patients were randomized to receive 25, 50, 100, or 200 mg of dolasetron mesylate 30 minutes prior to chemotherapy and were monitored for nausea and emetic episodes for the next 24 hours. RESULTS: Three hundred and nineteen cancer patients at 32 sites completed the study. Most patients were female (81%); of this group, 69% had breast carcinoma. A highly statistically significant linear trend demonstrating improved response with higher doses was detected for complete response (no emetic episodes and no rescue medication) (P < 0.001), for complete plus major response (0-2 emetic episodes and no rescue medication) (P < 0.001), and for patient visual analog scale assessments of nausea (P = 0.001) and general satisfaction with antiemetic therapy (P = 0.001). No serious adverse events were noted. The most frequent adverse event was mild, self-limiting headache, which has been reported with other drugs in this class. CONCLUSIONS: Single oral doses of dolasetron mesylate were found to be effective in preventing acute emesis in cancer patients receiving moderately emetogenic chemotherapy.  相似文献

This randomized, double-blind study compared the effects of dexamethasone plus either droperidol, metoclopramide, or granisetron with each antiemetic alone for preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in 270 female patients undergoing general anesthesia for major gynecological surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either droperidol 1.25 mg (Group D1, n = 45), droperidol 1.25 mg plus dexamethasone 8 mg (Group D2, n = 45), metoclopramide 10 mg (Group M1, n = 45), metoclopramide 10 mg plus dexamethasone 8 mg (Group M2, n = 45), granisetron 40 micrograms/kg (Group G1, n = 45), or granisetron 40 micrograms/kg plus dexamethasone 8 mg (Group G2, n = 45) immediately before the induction of anesthesia. A standard general anesthetic technique and postoperative analgesia were used throughout the study. Complete response, defined as no PONV and no administration of rescue antiemetic medication during the first 24 h after anesthesia, was 49% in Group D1, 60% in Group D2 (P = 0.199 versus Group D1), 51% in Group M1, 62% in Group M2 (P = 0.198 versus Group M1), 80% in Group G1, and 96% in Group G2 (P = 0.025 versus Group G1). Our results suggest that dexamethasone enhances the antiemetic efficacy of granisetron but does not potentiate the other antiemetics-droperidol and metoclopramide-in female patients undergoing major gynecological surgery. Implications: We compared the efficacy of dexamethasone plus three different antiemetics-droperidol, metoclopramide, and granisetron-for the prevention of nausea and vomiting after gynecologic surgery. The granisetron-dexamethasone combination was the most effective for preventing post-operative emetic symptoms.  相似文献

The safety and tolerability of dolasetron mesylate, a potent and selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, were evaluated after single intravenous doses in healthy male volunteers. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, phase I study, 80 subjects received either placebo or dolasetron in escalating doses (0.6 to 5.0 mg/k). Subjects were monitored for adverse events, vital sign and laboratory alterations, and changes in electrocardiographic (ECG) intervals and electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns. Overall, the percentage of subjects reporting adverse events was similar in those receiving dolasetron (44/64; 68.8%) or placebo (10/16; 62.5%); most adverse events were mild in severity. Subjects receiving dolasetron reported a higher incidence of central nervous system (headache and dizziness/lightheadedness), gastrointestinal (increased appetite and nausea), and visual adverse events and taste alterations. No clinically significant changes in laboratory variables were observed. Transient and asymptomatic ECG changes (small mean increases in PR interval and QRS complex duration versus baseline) were noted in several subjects at 1 to 2 hours after infusion at doses > or = 3.0 mg/kg. Transient, mild blood pressure decreases were observed in five subjects, including one on placebo. Dolastron mesylate was well tolerated in single intravenous doses up to 5.0 mg/kg in healthy male volunteers. Clinical studies of the drug are ongoing for antiemetic indications.  相似文献

Although ondansetron (4 mg I.V.) is effective in the prevention and treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after ambulatory surgery, the optimal timing of its administration, the cost-effectiveness, the cost-benefits, and the effect on the patient's quality of life after discharge have not been established. In this placebo-controlled, double-blind study, 164 healthy women undergoing outpatient gynecological laparoscopic procedures with a standardized anesthetic were randomized to receive placebo (Group A), ondansetron 2 mg at the start of and 2 mg after surgery (Group B), ondansetron 4 mg before induction (Group C), or ondansetron 4 mg after surgery (Group D). The effects of these regimens on the incidence, severity, and costs associated with PONV and discharge characteristics were determined, along with the patient's willingness to pay for antiemetics. Compared with ondansetron given before induction of anesthesia, the administration of ondansetron after surgery was associated with lower nausea scores, earlier intake of normal food, decreased incidence of frequent emesis (more than two episodes), and increased times until 25% of patients failed prophylactic antiemetic therapy (i.e., had an emetic episode or received rescue antiemetics for severe nausea) during the first 24 h postoperatively. This prophylactic regimen was also associated with the highest patient satisfaction and lowest cost-effectiveness ratios. Compared with the placebo group, ondansetron administered after surgery significantly reduced the incidence of PONV in the postanesthesia care unit and during the 24-h follow-up period and facilitated the recovery process by reducing the time to oral intake, ambulation, discharge readiness, resuming regular fluid intake and a normal diet. When ondansetron was given as a "split dose," its prophylactic antiemetic efficacy was not significantly different from that of the placebo group. In conclusion, the prophylactic administration of ondansetron after surgery, rather than before induction, may be associated with increased patient benefits. Implications: Ondansetron 4 mg I.V. administered immediately before the end of surgery was the most efficacious in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting, facilitating both early and late recovery, and improving patient satisfaction after outpatient laparoscopy.  相似文献

Dolasetron mesilate is a selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist that prevents chemotherapy-induced and postoperative nausea and vomiting. For the majority of patients in intravenous dolasetron trials for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, dosing has been based on body weight (mg/kg). The approved weight-based dose is 1.8 mg/kg based on results of controlled clinical trials. However, trials of dolasetron evaluating oral doses for prevention of chemotherapy-induced emesis, and intravenous doses for prevention and treatment of postoperative emesis have used a fixed milligram dose. To identify an appropriate intravenous fixed milligram dose for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, this analysis was performed to derive efficacy results for fixed milligram doses from pooled results obtained with dosing based on body weight. Intravenous dolasetron doses for 1,598 patients treated on a mg/kg basis (0.3, 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4, 3.0 and 5.0 mg/kg) in 14 clinical trials were converted to fixed milligram doses based on weight. Fixed-dose groups were established at doses of 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, and 200 mg. Doses less than or equal to the midpoint between two dose groups were included in the lower dose group. Pooled results showed that the 100 mg intravenous dolasetron dose group (who received actual doses of 88-112 mg) produced the highest rate (53%) of complete response (0 emetic episodes and no rescue medication in the 24-h period following initiation of chemotherapy).  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To compare the efficacy of ondansetron to that of metoclopramide, dehydrobenzperidol and placebo for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a double-blind random study. PATIENTS AND METHOD: A total of 100 ASA I, II and III patients undergoing scheduled laparoscopic cholecystectomy were divided into 4 groups according to whether they received one of the following intravenously just prior to anesthetic induction: 1.25 mg dehydrobenzperidol (group D), 10 mg metoclopramide (group M), 4 mg ondansetron (group O) or 2 ml of saline (group P). All received general anesthesia with induction by thiopental, analgesia with fentanyl, muscle relaxation with atracurium and maintenance with oxygen-air and isoflurane. Episodes of nausea and/or vomiting during the first 24 h after surgery were recorded. Treatment was considered effective if no episodes occurred during this period. RESULTS: Nine of the 100 patients were excluded from the study. There were no significant differences in demographic variables among the 4 groups. The incidence of PONV was significantly greater in group P than in any of the other groups. There were no significant differences in PONV among groups D, M and O. CONCLUSIONS: Ondansetron provides safe, effective prophylaxis for PONV after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, but it is not superior to the antiemetic drugs usually used. Its use may be justified in patients in whom dehydrobenzperidol or metoclopramide are contraindicated.  相似文献

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are relatively common troublesome distressing symptoms. The incidence is reported to be as high as 20-51%. Ninety adult ASA I and II patients scheduled for laparoscopic gynecological or surgical interventions, were randomly and equally assigned to one of the three groups in the immediate postoperative period: Group 1 received 0.1 ml.kg(-1) normal saline intravenously, while Group 2 received 0.5 mg.kg(-1) ephedrine intramuscularly and Group 3 received 0.25 mg.kg(-1) propofol intravenously as preventive antiemetic therapy. Sixty-six, 33 and 50 percent of patients experienced nausea and vomiting syndrome in Group 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Both ephedrine and propofol proved to have antiemetic properties. Ephedrine treated group of patient had significant less emetic score than propofol. No significant hemodynamic changes were recorded in both groups.  相似文献

PURPOSE: To evaluate the antiemetic efficacy and safety of adding the dopamine antagonist prochlorperazine to the combination of granisetron and dexamethasone in the prevention of acute nausea and vomiting following high-dose cisplatin. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sixty patients receiving cisplatin (> or = 75 mg/m2) (median dose = 100 mg/m2) were enrolled at three sites. Patients received prochlorperazine spansule 15 mg orally, 60 minutes prior to and 12 hours after cisplatin; dexamethasone 20 mg intravenously, 45 minutes prior to cisplatin, and 10 mg intravenously or orally, 12 hours after cisplatin; and granisetron 10 micrograms/kg intravenously, 30 minutes prior to cisplatin. Efficacy was assessed during the 24-hour period after cisplatin using complete antiemetic response (no emetic episodes and no rescue antiemetics) and patient assessment of nausea and satisfaction using 100-mm visual analog scales (nausea: 0 = none, 100 = nausea as bad as it can be; satisfaction: 0 = not at all satisfied, 100 = satisfied as can be). RESULTS: Complete response (0 emetic episodes) was noted in 84% (49/58) of patients. Forty-two patients (72%) experienced no nausea. The mean change in posttreatment nausea visual analog scales from baseline was 8.9 mm. Forty-eight patients (83%) were completely satisfied with their antiemetic treatment. The mean posttreatment patient satisfaction score was 92 mm. Treatment was well tolerated, with infrequent and minor adverse events. CONCLUSIONS: This three-drug antiemetic regimen is well tolerated and highly effective in the prevention of acute nausea and vomiting arising from high-dose cisplatin. Further studies evaluating this regimen are warranted.  相似文献

We evaluated the safety and efficacy of RS-25259, a potent and long-acting selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in women undergoing hysterectomy procedures. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, dose-ranging study, 218 healthy, consenting women were assigned to one of the six treatment groups: placebo or RS-25259 0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, or 30 microg/kg. All patients underwent a standardized general anesthetic technique. The study medication was administered i.v. 20-30 min before the end of surgery. During the initial 24-h period after surgery, the incidence of vomiting, the need for rescue antiemetics, the time to the first episode of emesis, and administration of rescue antiemetic medication, as well as a nausea visual analog scale and verbal categorical scale scores were recorded. In addition, recovery times from the end of anesthesia and the incidences of perioperative side effects were noted. Only 30 microg/kg RS-25259 significantly decreased the incidence of vomiting and the requirement for rescue antiemetics. The largest dose of RS-25259 also delayed the time to the first emetic episode and reduced the number of treatment failures. However, no differences were found in the severity of postoperative nausea (versus saline), and postoperative headaches were more common after the administration of RS-25259 0.3-30 microg/kg i.v. In conclusion, RS-25259 30 microg/kg i.v. was effective in reducing the incidence of PONV after major gynecologic surgery, but the occurrence of headaches with the larger doses of RS-25259 is a concern. Implications: RS-25259, a long-acting 5-HT3 antagonist, was effective in reducing postoperative vomiting only at the largest dose studied (30 microg/kg). However, RS-25259 had no antinausea activity, and the larger doses were associated with an increased incidence of headaches in the postoperative period.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Dexamethasone decreases chemotherapy-induced emesis when added to an antiemetic regimen. This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of granisetron-dexamethasone combination for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in female patients undergoing general anaesthesia for breast surgery. METHODS: In a randomized, double-blind manner, 135 ASA I patients, aged 40-65 years, were assigned to receive placebo (saline), granisetron 40 micrograms.kg-1 or granisetron 40 micrograms.kg-1 plus dexamethasone 8 mg i.v. (n = 45 of each) immediately before the induction of anaesthesia. A standard general anaesthetic technique and postoperative analgesia were used. The PONV and safety assessments were performed continuously during the first 3 h (0-3 h) and the next 21 h (3-24 h) after anaesthesia. RESULTS: A complete response, defined as no PONV and no administration of rescue antiemetic medication, during 0-3 h after anaesthesia was 51%, 82% and 96% in patients who had received placebo, granisetron and granisetron-dexamethasone combination, respectively; the corresponding incidence during 3-24 h after anaesthesia was 56%, 84% and 98% (P < 0.05; overall Fisher's exact probability test). No clinically important adverse events were observed in any of the groups. CONCLUSION: Prophylactic use of granisetron-dexamethasone combination is more effective than granisetron alone for the prevention of PONV after breast surgery.  相似文献

We studied the effect of combining prophylactic ondansetron (4 mg intravenously [IV]) to desflurane-based anesthesia in 90 ASA grade I or 11 women undergoing outpatient gynecological laparoscopy. Recovery after anesthesia, with special focus on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), was assessed. Control groups received a similar desflurane anesthetic (placebo) or a propofol-infusion-based (active control) anesthetic. The study design was randomized, controlled, and double-blind (regarding ondansetron) and single-blind (regarding the anesthetic technique). Early recovery (eye opening, orientation, following commands, sitting) was similar in the three groups. However, overall home readiness (toleration of oral fluids, walking, pain tolerable by oral analgesics, no or only mild nausea) was achieved faster in the desflurane group receiving ondansetron (109 [21-937] min, P < 0.01) and in the propofol group (110 [33-642] min, P < 0.001) when compared to the desflurane only group (372 [45-723] min) (median [range]). The total incidence of PONV in the desflurane-only group was 80% (P < 0.01), compared to 40% and 20% in the desflurane group receiving ondansetron and the propofol group, respectively. The postoperative antiemetic requirements were consistently and significantly (P < 0.01) higher in the desflurane-only group compared to the other two groups. Postoperative sedation, analgesic requirements, and psychomotor recovery (assessed by the Maddox Wing and the Digit Symbol Substitution Tests) were similar in the three groups. Our results suggest that in order to achieve a propofol-like recovery profile in patients with a high likelihood of PONV, desflurane should be combined with a potent antiemetic (e.g., ondansetron).  相似文献

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are unpleasant, often underestimated side effects of anaesthesia and surgery, not devoid of medical complications. Prevention with antiemetics is only partially effective. Propofol has been shown recently to possess antiemetic properties in several situations. In this prospective, randomized, controlled trial, we have compared the antiemetic efficacy of subhypnotic doses of propofol, with Intralipid as placebo, after thyroidectomy. We studied 64 patients of both sexes, aged 22-71 yr, ASA I or II, undergoing thyroidectomy. After premedication with a benzodiazepine, balanced anaesthesia was produced with isoflurane and nitrous oxide in oxygen, and supplementary analgesia with fentanyl i.v. as required. Postoperative analgesia was provided with non-opioids, and piritramide 0.25 mg kg-1 i.m. on demand. Patients were allocated randomly and blindly to receive a 20-h infusion of either propofol or 10% Intralipid 0.1 ml kg-1 h-1. Intralipid, the excipient of propofol, was chosen as placebo as it is devoid of antiemetic effects. Sedation scores, respiratory and cardiovascular variables, and incidence of PONV were assessed every 4 h for 24 h. Pulse oximetry and ECG were monitored continuously. Both groups were comparable in characteristics, surgical and anaesthesia procedures, amount of opioids given during and after operation, and total amount of the study drug infused after operation. Occurrence of PONV was similar before the start (propofol 41%, Intralipid 50%) and after completion (propofol 0.64%, Intralipid 1.6%) of infusion and decreased with time in both groups during the infusion. However, symptoms were reduced to nil with propofol but persisted and were more severe with Intralipid during infusion (P < or = 0.01). The overall incidence of PONV during infusion was 10% (three of 32 patients) in the propofol group and 65% (21 of 32 patients) in the Intralipid group. Cardiovascular and respiratory variables, and SpO2 were unaltered, and sedation decreased similarly with time in both groups. We conclude that propofol, given at subhypnotic doses, effectively reduced the incidence of PONV without untoward sedative or cardiovascular effects.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the antiemetic efficacy of a modified regimen of oral ondansetron and dexamethasone in patients with lupus nephritis undergoing treatment with cyclophosphamide whose conventional antiemetic regimen had failed. DESIGN: A before-after prospective observational pilot project. SETTING: A federal research hospital. PATIENTS: Fourteen outpatients with lupus nephritis receiving intravenous cyclophosphamide 0.75-1.0 g/m2 had previously experienced chemotherapy-induced emetic events (vomiting or retching) while receiving a standard combination intravenous antiemetic regimen. The regimen consisted of four doses of thiethylperazine 10 mg and diphenhydramine 25 mg every 6 hours, and two doses of lorazepam 0.5 mg every 6 hours starting at 1 hour prior to cyclophosphamide. A subset of 8 patients previously completed a blinded study in which they received the intravenous formulation of ondansetron (4 doses of 4-16 mg q4h) administered orally beginning 30 minutes prior to the cyclophosphamide infusion. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The number of emetic events and cost of drug administration were assessed for the modified ondansetron intervention and compared with those of the standard antiemetic regimen. The incidence of emetic events and visual analog nausea scores for the subset of eight patients were also evaluated. INTERVENTIONS: To account for the delayed onset of emesis associated with cyclophosphamide, patients received both ondansetron 8 mg orally every 4 hours (3 doses) and dexamethasone 10 mg orally (1 dose) beginning 4 hours after the cyclophosphamide infusion. This is different from the manufacturer's recommended dose schedule, in which ondansetron is administered prior to chemotherapy. RESULTS: No emetic events were observed following the administration of oral ondansetron/dexamethasone. The 95% confidence interval for the true rate of emesis was 0% to 19.3%. There was a significant difference in efficacy between ondansetron/dexamethasone and the triple antiemetic regimen (p < 0.0002). None of the patients experienced adverse effects while receiving the ondansetron/dexamethasone regimen. Cost comparisons (including admixture and nursing administration times) for standard combination therapy and oral ondansetron/dexamethasone were $109.09 and $70.24, respectively. No difference in emetic events or nausea ratings was observed between oral ondansetron/dexamethasone tablets and oral administration of ondansetron using the intravenous formula. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that a modified oral ondansetron/dexamethasone regimen is safe and efficacious, and costs less than alternative regimens to prevent cyclophosphamide-induced emesis in patients with lupus nephritis.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Limited data are available on the efficacy of ondansetron hydrochloride compared with prochlorperazine maleate for the treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the comparative efficacy of ondansetron and prochlorperazine for the prophylaxis of PONV in patients undergoing total hip replacement or total knee replacement procedures. METHODS: A randomized, double-blind, comparative trial was conducted at a tertiary care, university hospital. Seventy-eight patients undergoing elective total hip or total knee replacement procedures received a single dose of ondansetron hydrochloride (n = 37), 4 mg intravenously, or prochlorperazine maleate (n = 41), 10 mg intramuscularly, at the end of the surgical procedure. Rescue therapy was administered every 4 hours as needed during the initial 48 hours. Primary outcome measures were the incidences and severity of PONV. Secondary outcome measures included the number of rescue antiemetic doses required, number of physical therapy cancellations because of PONV, length of hospital stay, and cost of antiemetic agents administered. RESULTS: The incidence of nausea was significantly greater in the ondansetron group compared with the prochlorperazine group (81% vs 56%; odds ratio, 3.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.2-9.4) as was the severity of nausea (P = .04). Multivariate analysis identified administration of ondansetron, history of PONV, obesity, and female sex as risk factors for a nausea event. The incidence of vomiting tended to be greater in the ondansetron group (49% vs 32%; odds ratio, 2.0; 95% confidence interval, 0.8-5.0). The need for rescue antiemetic therapy was also greater in the ondansetron group (46% vs 27%; odds ratio, 2.3; 95% confidence interval, 0.9-6.0). The mean antiemetic drug cost per patient was significantly greater for the ondansetron group ($47.56 vs $2.47; P<.001). However, the proportion of patients who were unable to participate in physical therapy because of PONV and the median length of hospital stay were similar in both groups. CONCLUSION: Prochlorperazine is associated with superior efficacy and significant cost savings compared with ondansetron for the prevention of PONV in patients undergoing total hip and total knee replacement procedures.  相似文献

PURPOSE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of oral ondansetron in the control of cisplatin-induced delayed emesis in patients who do not require rescue antiemetic therapy for acute emesis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Five hundred thirty-eight chemotherapy-naive patients who received cisplatin chemotherapy (> or = 70 mg/m2), and who were not rescued for acute emesis, were eligible to be randomized to receive one of the three oral regimens to control delayed emesis. Group I received placebo on days 2 to 6; group II received ondansetron 8 mg twice daily on days 2 and 3 and placebo on days 4 to 6; group III received ondansetron 8 mg twice daily on days 2 to 6. All patients received intravenous ondansetron (0.15 mg/kg every 4 hours for three doses) for the control of acute emesis on day 1. The number of emetic episodes on days 2 and 3 combined (days 2/3, when incidence and severity of delayed emesis were expected to be greatest) was considered the primary measure of efficacy. RESULTS: Patients who received odansetron had significantly fewer emetic episodes on days 2/3, 4, and 5 than those who received placebo (P < or = .002 on each day). Additionally, significantly more patients who received ondansetron had a complete plus major response (C+MR; < or = two two emetic episodes) than those who received placebo on days 2/3 (56% v 37%, P = .001), 4 (94% v 85%, P = .005), and 5 (98% v 88%, P = .006). Patients who received ondansetron had significantly less nausea on day 2/3 when day-1 nausea was used as the baseline score (P = .025). Patients who received ondansetron also had significantly less nausea on day 4 (P = .042) and the results approached significance on day 5 (P = .066). CONCLUSION: Oral ondansetron had a significant effect in the control of cisplatin-induced delayed emesis and nausea in patients who had not required rescue antiemetics during the acute emesis period. The control of delayed nausea and vomiting was most notable in the immediate 2 days following cisplatin administration, with the clinical difference narrowing between the two treatment arms on subsequent days.  相似文献
