There was no difference in the incidence of emesis, ileus, or other postoperative complications between the 2 groups.
We compared patient demographics, surgical duration, anaesthesia duration, length of ICU stay, incidence of emesis requiring treatment, time required to establish regular oral intake, requirement for supplemental intravenous opioids during the first postoperative day, and length of hospital stay.
To compare the effects of morphine (MOR), methadone (MET), butorphanol (BUT) and tramadol (TRA), in combination with acepromazine, on sedation, cardiorespiratory variables, body temperature and incidence of emesis in dogs.
Substitution of carboplatin for cisplatin in combination with paclitaxel has resulted in a reduced incidence of emesis and neurotoxicity, albeit at the expense of greater myelosuppression, and is supported by data from three randomised studies (Neijt et al, 1997; Ozols et al, 1999; du Bois et al, 1999).
Laparoscopic pyloromyotomy is a minimally invasive version of the Ramstedt procedure that has been associated with a lower incidence of postoperative emesis and a shorter hospital stay, but occasionally results in incomplete pyloromyotomy [4, 5].
The 24-hour incidence of nausea, emesis, or PONV and postoperative pain scores were evaluated.
Pooled results demonstrated that the incidence of postoperative emesis showed no significant difference between the two groups (RR = 0.80, 95 % CI: 0.48 to 1.31, P =0.37).
To evaluate whether subcutaneous (SC) metoclopramide (0.2 mg kg−1) administered 30 minutes prior to (T30) or simultaneously with (T0) intramuscular (IM) morphine (0.2 mg kg−1) and dexmedetomidine (0.003 mg kg−1) reduces the incidence of nausea and emesis in healthy dogs.
The incidence (26.4%) of emesis in our study was lower than studies reported by Yanagihara et al, 2010 (45%) and ; Oki et al, 2011 (44.8%).
Good control of acute and delayed emesis may result in a lower incidence of ANV.
These findings were not significant and suggested that methylnaltrexone did not prevent or reduce the incidence of nausea and emesis.
