About this study

Official title: Effects of Combined Antiemetic Protocol For The Prevention Of Postoperative Nausea And Vomiting In Orthognathic Surgery: A Randomized Double Blinded Clinical Study

In an effort to prevent or treat consistently high rates of PONV following maxillofacial operations, several medications, techniques and multimodal protocols have been studied. In the present study, the investigators hypothesized that combining metoclopramide with granisetron will improve PONV incidence when compared with granisetrone alone.

Read the detailed description

Despite advances in anesthetic techniques and antiemetic drugs that accompany increasing awareness of anesthesia providers, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remains one of the most common problems after general anesthesia. PONV is one of the major problems leading to patient dissatisfaction, prolonged stay in postoperative care unit and hospital, readmissions and thus it can increase health care costs. In the studies performed in PONV prone patients and high-risk surgeries, as compared with other antiemetic medications, "setrons" provided lower nausea and vomiting incidence postoperatively, but were unable to completely prevent this "big little" problem.The blood in the stomach has been indicated as one of the major causes of PONV following maxillofacial surgery thus, using metoclopramide may relieve the complaints by evacuating this irritant. After institutional ethic committee and National Medicines, 66 consecutive patients, classified as ASA I and II physical status and aged between 18 and 60 years were included in the study. Apfel's simplified PONV risk score including female sex, history of motion sickness or PONV, smoking status and predicted use of postoperative opioids was recorded.Procedures were performed under general anesthesia. Patients in Group G received 3 mg granisetron (Neoset, Deva, Istanbul) and the patients in group GM received 3 mg granisetron + 10 mg metoclopramide (Metpamid, Sifar İlaç, Istanbul) 30 minutes before the end of operation intravenously. A nursing staff collected the data concerning PONV, VAS, systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures, heart rate, peripheral arterial saturation, total doses of drugs used, overall bleeding score, infused fluid volume, VAS, surgical procedure, duration of surgery and rescue antiemetics for nausea if applied for 24 hours.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative nausea and vomiting

    The primary outcome of interest in the present study was the incidence of PONV.

    Measured: fully awake and on the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th , 8th and 24th hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Visual analogue scale

    Visual analogue scale was used to record pain score. following the surgery. 0-10 point scale was used. 0 showed no pain, 10 showed worst pain status.

    Measured: fully awake and on the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th , 8th and 24th hours postoperatively

  2. Systolic arterial pressure

    It was measured during the surgery.

    Measured: preoperatively, at the induction, every 30 minutes interval till the end of the surgery, before extubation.

  3. Diastolic arterial pressure

    It was measured during the surgery.

    Measured: preoperatively, at the induction, every 30 minutes interval till the end of the surgery, before extubation.

  4. Mean arterial pressure

    It was measured during the surgery.

    Measured: preoperatively, at the induction, every 30 minutes interval till the end of the surgery, before extubation.

  5. heart rate

    It was measured during the surgery.

    Measured: preoperatively, at the induction, every 30 minutes interval till the end of the surgery, before extubation.

  6. peripheral arterial saturation

    It was measured during the surgery.

    Measured: preoperatively, at the induction, every 30 minutes interval till the end of the surgery, before extubation.

  7. total doses of drugs

    It was recorded during the surgery.

    Measured: before extubation

  8. Bleeding amount

    It was recorded at the end of the surgery.

    Measured: before extubation

  9. Infused fluid volume

    It was recorded during the surgery.

    Measured: before extubation

  10. Duration of surgery

    It was recorded at the end of the surgery.

    Measured: before extubation

  11. Rescue antiemetic

    It was recorded at the end of the follow-up period.

    Measured: it was recorded until follow-up period ended and if applied it would be recorded. Between fully awake in ward and 24th hours postoperatively.

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 11 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 12 Jun 2024. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 (time frame: fully awake and on the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th , 8th and 24th hours postoperatively). 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 NCT06454825, 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 12 Jun 2024.
