Abstract
Following anesthesia and surgery, patients may experience the uncomfortable and upsetting side effect of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Postoperative nausea and vomiting can lead to wound dehiscence, bleeding, electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, and stomach contents aspiration in the lungs, in addition to raising patient costs. To determine whether the rate of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing a laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia is impacted by the administration of additional fluids before surgery. This study was an interventional, prospective, randomized, double‐blind trial. This study was carried out for a year at the DR BRAM Teaching Hospital in Hapania, Agartala and the Department of Anaesthesia at TMC. This investigation involved a total of sixty patients. We observed that, Duration of Anaesthesia was lower in Group‐B [64.2000±17.4403] compared to Group‐A [65.6667±20.8960] but this was not statistically significant (p = 0.7689). It was found that, 0‐5 No Nausea/ Vomiting was most in Group‐I [.5333±.5074] compared to Group‐A [.2000±.4068] p = 0.0068 indicates that this was statistically significant. We examined that, 0‐5 Nausea without Vomiting was higher in Group‐A [.3333±.4795] compared to Group‐B [.3000±.4661] but this not statistically significant (p = 0.7858). We observed that, 5‐24 No Nausea/Vomiting was more in Group‐B [.6333±.4901] compared to Group‐A [.2667±.4498] so this was statistically significant (p = 0.0038). Our study showed that, 5‐24 Nausea Without Vomiting was less in Group‐B [.2333±.4302] compared to Group‐A [.4000±.4983] but this was not statistically significant (p = 0.1708). Despite improvements in management and prevention, postoperative nausea and vomiting remains the most problematic adverse event seen in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). This randomized interventional experiment aims to investigate if supplying additional fluids before to surgery could lower the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
