Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate a new anesthesia approach using a combination of propofol and volatile anesthesia to reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery.
- The research involved three groups of patients: one using sevoflurane, another using propofol, and a third using both propofol and sevoflurane, with assessments made on postoperative nausea, vomiting, and pain.
- Results showed that the groups using propofol (with or without sevoflurane) had significantly better outcomes regarding nausea compared to the sevoflurane-only group, indicating that this combined approach, termed "combined intravenous-volatile anesthesia (CIVA)," is effective in reducing postoperative nausea.
Background: We investigated the effects of a novel method of anesthesia combining propofol and volatile anesthesia on the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery.
Methods: Patients were randomly divided into three groups: those maintained with sevoflurane (Group S; n = 42), propofol (Group P; n = 42), or combined propofol and sevoflurane (Group PS; n = 42). We assessed complete response (no postoperative nausea and vomiting and no rescue antiemetic use), incidence of nausea and vomiting, nausea severity score, vomiting frequency, rescue antiemetic use, and postoperative pain at 2 and 24h after surgery.
