NCT01123837 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 202

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

"The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is to see if giving dextrose fluid in the veins (IV) decreases the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in female urologic, gynecologic and breast outpatient surgery patients and at what blood surgery level. The reason for this study is that IV dextrose has been shown to decrease the incidence of PONV and the use of medications to treat PONV, while leading to sooner discharge after surgery. This can decrease overall healthcare cost and improving patient satisfaction."

Conditions

  • Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting

Interventions

OTHER

Intravenous fluid

The treatment group will receive a 250cc bolus over 2 hrs of D5LR prior to the end of surgery and continued in the PACU. Blood glucose will be checked 3 different times using an Accu-chek monitor along with the type and number of rescue medications given at 30, 60, and 120 minutes after anesthesia and the post-op morning. The control group will receive a 250cc bolus over 2 hours of LR. Blood glucose will be monitored 3 times along with the type and how much of rescue medications are given at 30, 60 and 120 minutes post-op and the morning after surgery.

D5LR or lactated ringers
