Abstract

Objective: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common problem associated with general anaesthesia. The incidence can be as high as 80% in high-risk patients. Our primary objective was to compare the efficacy of the combination of dexamethasone-ondansetron and dexamethasone-aprepitant in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.Methods: Seventy 18 to 60 years old patients scheduled for laparoscopic surgery were included in the study. Sixty-seven patients completed the study. Patients in the dexamethasone-aprepitant group (group DA, n=35) received 40 mg of aprepitant orally 1-2 hours before the induction of anaesthesia and 2 mL saline intravenously (iv) within the last 30 minutes of surgery; patients in the dexamethasone-ondansetron group (group DO, n=35) received oral placebo identical to aprepitant 1-2 hours before the induction of anaesthesia and 4 mg ondansetron iv within the last 30 minutes of surgery. All patients received 8 mg dexamethasone iv after the induction of anaesthesia. The primary outcome was a complete response (no postoperative nausea, retching and vomiting and no need for rescue antiemetic); the secondary outcomes were the incidence of nausea, retching, vomiting, the need of rescue antiemetic and opioid consumption within 24 hours after surgery.Results: A complete response was not significantly different between the groups (group DO: 67%, DA: 69%) at 24 hours (p=0.93). The incidence of PONV and postoperative opioid consumption was similar between the groups.Conclusion: The study was designed to evaluate whether the combination of dexamethasone-aprepitant is better than the combination of dexamethasone-ondansetron regarding the complete response for PONV in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. The results however showed that dexamethasone-aprepitant has not improved the complete response for PONV compared to dexamethasone-ondansetron.

Özet

Amaç: Postoperatif bulantı ve kusma (POBK) genel anestezi sonrası sık karşılaşılan bir sorundur. Yüksek riskli hastalarda insidans yüzde 80 kadar yüksek olabilir. Çalışmamızın amacı laparoskopik ameliyat geçiren hastalarda deksametazon-ondansetron ve deksametazon-aprepitant kombinasyonunun etkililiğini karşılaştırmaktı. Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya laparoskopik ameliyat planlanan 18-60 yaş arası 70 hasta alındı. 67 hasta çalışmayı tamamladı. Deksametazon aprepitant grubundaki (grup DA, n=35) hastalara anestezi indüksiyonundan 1-2 saat önce 40 mg aprepitant ve cerrahinin son 30 dakikasında intravenöz 2 mL serum fizyolojik (iv) uygulandı. Deksametazon-ondansetron grubundaki (grup DO, n=35) hastalara anestezi indüksiyonundan 1-2 saat önce aprepitanta benzer oral plasebo ve cerrahinin son 30 dakikasında 4 mg ondansetron iv olarak verildi. Tüm hastalara anestezi indüksiyonundan sonra iv 8 mg deksametazon uygulandı. Birincil sonuç ölçütü tam yanıt idi (postoperatif bulantı, öğürme, kusma ve ek antiemetik ihtiyacı yok); ikincil sonuç ölçütü ise bulantı, öğürme ve kusma insidansı, operasyondan sonraki 24 saat içerisinde ek antiemetik ve opioid tüketimi ihtiyacı idi. Bulgular: Tam yanıt gruplar arasında (grup DO: %67, DA: %69) 24 saatte anlamlı şekilde farklı değildi (p=0,93). POBK insidansı ve postoperatif opioid tüketimi gruplar arasında benzerdi. Sonuç: Bu çalışma, laparoskopik cerrahi geçiren hastalarda POBK için tam yanıt elde etmede deksametazon-aprepitant kombinasyonunun deksametazon-ondansetron kombinasyonundan daha iyi olup olmadığını değerlendirmek üzere tasarlanmıştır. Ancak sonuç, deksametazon ve aprepitantın, laparoskopik cerrahiyi takiben deksametazon ve ondansetron ile karşılaştırıldığında POBK'da tam yanıtı iyileştirmediğini gösterdi.
