Trial summary

The investigators tested the hypothesis that administration of intravenous dextrose as a maintenance fluid in gynecologic laparoscopic surgery would reduce the incidence and severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) compared with normal saline solution in the same dose.

About this study

Official title: Intraoperative Intravenous Dextrose Administration and the Incidence of Nausea and Vomiting After the Gynecologic Laparoscopic Surgery A Randomized Double-Blinded Controlled Study

The investigators tested the hypothesis that administration of intravenous dextrose as a maintenance fluid in gynecologic laparoscopic surgery would reduce the incidence and severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) compared with normal saline solution in the same dose.

A prospective randomized double blinded controlled study was conducted. Eighty six participants were randomized to dextrose solution (n= 42) or normal saline solution (n= 44). The Bellville postoperative nausea and vomiting scores were recorded until 24 hours after surgery.

Read the detailed description

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a major complication in laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. There are limited data and conflicting results from previous studies related to the types of intravenous fluid and a reduction in PONV. The incidence of nausea is slightly greater than the incidence of vomiting (50% vs. 30%). General anesthesia increased the likelihood of PONV 11 times compared with other types of anesthesia. Laparoscopic surgery can further increase the incidence of PONV to 80%.Identified risk factors of PONV included female, history of motion sickness, nonsmoking, younger age, general anesthesia, use of volatile anesthetics and nitrous oxide, opioids, duration of anesthesia, and types of surgery (cholecystectomy, laparoscopic, gynecological). Adequate intravenous fluid hydration is another effective strategy for reducing the baseline risk for PONV (Evidence A2). Previous studies showed that there was no difference in efficacy between crystalloids and colloids when similar volumes were used in surgeries associated with minimal fluid shifts. While liberal intravenous fluid administration, such as 30 ml/ kg of sodium lactate solution, reduced the incidence of PONV after gynecologic laparoscopy compared to another group receiving 10 ml/kg of sodium lactate solution, this strategy did not reduce the PONV in other surgical procedures such as thyroidectomy. Among crystalloid solutions, results from previous studies were conflicting regarding the benefit of intravenous dextrose administration to reducing the PONV. Hypovolemia with and without hypoglycemia after overnight fasting were believed to exacerbate PONV.

The investigators hypothesized that intraoperative infusion of dextrose solution could reduce the incidence and severity of PONV. The investigators proposed to determine the relationship between types of fluid administration and antiemetic requirement and serum glucose in paricipants scheduled for the gynecologic laparoscopy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the incidence and severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting (time frame: 24 hour after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03139383, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 May 2017.
