Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a severe condition marked by intense nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, which is different from typical morning sickness. It is marked by weight loss exceeding 5% of pre-pregnancy weight, ketonuria, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and in some cases, arrhythmias - primarily linked to electrolyte disturbances. Treatment typically involves conservative measures such as small, bland meals, medications like metoclopramide and ondansetron, and correction of electrolyte abnormalities.

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common complications after gynecological laparoscopic surgery. Pyridoxine has been recommended as a first-line drug to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy; however, its efficacy in preventing PONV remains unclear.
Methods: Patients of 18 to 65 years old, who received elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia, were randomized into either the pyridoxine or control group.

Purpose: Few factors have been identified that increase the risk of visits (hospital emergency room or inpatient stays) due to hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). The purpose of this study is to understand trends in HG management and identify variables increasing visit frequency so that strategies may be developed to reduce hospital utilization.
Study Design: An online survey was posted on the Hyperemesis Education and Research Foundation website and social media between June 2022 and May 2023.
