Официальное название

Preventative Effect of Combining Dexamethasone with Ondansetron on Postoperative Nausea, Vomiting and Shivering in Children Undergoing Caudal Anesthesia

Обзор

caudal epidural block is a technique used as an adjuvant to general anesthesia for postoperative analgesia in pediatric patients,especially those with infraumbilical, perineal and lower extremity surgery , because it reduces the need for perioperative and postoperative analgesia, reduces the need for general anesthesia, accelerates the awakening, suppresses the surgical neurohumoral stress response and can be performed easily The objective of the current study is to determine the efficacy and safety of prophylactic intravenous administration of combination of 0.1mg/kg of dexamethasone plus 4mg of ondansetron immediately before establishment of caudal block for prevention of Nausea\&vomiting and Shivering in pediatric patients undergoing infra umbilical surgeries

Подробное описание

Although it has some adverse effects: postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are frequent and morbidity-related complication in children, PONV is still present in almost twice the frequency of adults, 33.2-82%. shivering is one of frequent, undesirable adverse effects, The incidence of shivering is up to 40-60% even in regional anaesthesia leads to O2 consumption and CO2 production,So we target in this study two effective drugs with less side effects to reduse these adverse effects Ondansetron is a highly potent selective 5 hydroxytryptamine receptor antagonist, which is widely used as an anti-emetic, Its mechanism of action as anti-shivering is not clear and it is proposed to act centrally at the level of the pre-optic anterior hypothalamic region by inhibition of serotonin reuptake Dexamethasone: is a potent class of steroid drugs ,It prevents thermoregulatory shivering via its central inhibitory effect on the thermoregulatory center and prevents non thermoregulatory shivering by its anti-inflammatory activity, i.e. antagonizing the activation of the inflammatory responses and release of cytokines during surgery The anti-emetic properties of dexamethasone are well established but the mechanisms underlying this anti-emetic effect remain largely unknown
