About this study

Official title: The Impact of Timing and Dosing of Dextrose Solution on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting.

The aim of this study to assess which time and dose of dextrose solution more effective in decreasing postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Read the detailed description

All patients signed informed consent after excluding patients not candidate for the study.patients were divided to three groups, taking either 0.9% saline as control group(group C), dextrose 5%(group D5) or dextrose 10%(group D10).

Being tested
Dextrose 5% in water, Dextrose 10%, Saline placebo
Medical subject headings
Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Dextrose 5% in waterOther

    One hour before operation, patients were given dexrose 5%100/hour only for 2 hours to end at about middle of surgery

  • Dextrose 10%Other

    One hour before operation, patients were given dexrose 10 %100/hour only for 2 hours to end at about middle of surgery

  • Saline placeboOther

    Also called Normal saline

    One hour before operation, patients were given normal saline100/hour only for 2 hours to end at about middle of surgery

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Postoperative nausea and vomiting within 24 hour

    Number of participants who experienced PONV grade ≥2 as assessed by PONV score . The PACU nurses assessed and documented PONV using a Verbal Descriptive Scale, which correlates to visual analog nausea scores, with an objective measure of severity: 0 = no PONV: patient reports no nausea and has had no emesis episodes; 1 = mild PONV: patient reports nausea but declines antiemetic treatment; 2 = moderate PONV: patient reports nausea and accepts antiemetic treatment; and 3 = severe PONV: nausea with any emesis episode (retching or vomiting). The score was obtained at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after PACU arrival; thus 5 scores were recorded during PACU stay. A 24-hour PONV assessment that elicited any nausea and emesis episode since PACU discharge was obtained by a blinded investigator by telephone or in person at the patient's bedside (delayed PONV).

    Measured: 24hour after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of doses of antiemetics required to control PONV.

    Frequency of doses of antiemetics required to control postoperative nausea and vomiting, initial antiemetic treatment was 10 mg slow IV metoclopramide for occurred nausea or 4 mg IV ondansetron for occurred nausea \& vomiting or if the previous treatment failed for nausea

    Measured: 24hour postoperative

  2. Number of classes of antiemetics

    Frequency of classes of antiemetics required to control postoperative nausea and vomiting, Initial antiemetic treatment was 10 mg slow IV metoclopramide for occurred nausea or 4 mg IV ondansetron for occurred nausea \& vomiting or if the previous treatment failed for nausea

    Measured: 24 hour postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dextrose 5% in water and Dextrose 10% in people with Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 2 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Postoperative nausea and vomiting within 24 hour (time frame: 24hour 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 NCT04726436, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Aug 2021.
