In[the absence of any ele~r-eut superiority of one drug over another,-the physi4ian naust exercise a choicK selecting a drug with minimum side-effects but maximum anti-emetic effect. This choice can only be made on the basis of ieontrolled studies of effectir and side-effects, since clinical impressions can be nlost misleading.~ Malay ~igents can be shown to have an anti-emetic effect wl~n e0mpared I with a placebo (e.g., atropine) 1 but they may not be clinically us,~fuI as anfi-erneties.

The data from all operations could thus be colnbi~ed, and was analysed with reference to incidence and ~severity of emetic sympt(~ms , and to the side effects of hypotension in the recovery room, potentiation of Inareotics~ and prolongation of postoperative sleep. Incidence of Emetic Symptoms Table II shows the increase in emetic syrnpfoms / in each group of patients with the passage of time. Thiethylperazine was given Io 86 patients, of whom 33.7 per cent showed sypm toms in the first two h~urs.~No more patients vomited during the next four hours, but by twenty-four hour~, 54..7 per cent had shown symptoms. Of the 79 patients receiving perphenaz [ne, 24.1 per cent showed symptoms after two hours, and 27.8 per cent after sk: hours, butday wenty-four hours, 48.1 per cent had shown emetic symFgoma These figures compared favourably with the placebo group of 83 patients, where 44.6 per cent were affected in the first two hours, the figure rising to 5( ~.6 per cent after six hoUrs, and reaching 66.3 per cent over the twenty-four ho ar p,e/iod. In contrast, 40.5 per cent of the 84 patients receiving trimethobenza: hide had symptoms in the first two hours, and the percentage increased to 52 .4 per cent after six hours and 82.1 per cent after twenty-four hours. The perc entage of patients showing symptoms in t~ese last two periods was thus grea',Lter than that seen in the placebo group. Statistical analysis of these figures (Table III) shows perphenazine to be significantly more effective (p < 0.05) than the other agents at two hours, but over the six-l~our period, perphenazine loses some of its effectiveness, wihile thiethylperazine does not, and thiethylperazine emerges as significantly more effect'iw~ than/placebo or trimethobenzamide over the six-hour period. Trimetho- benzamidemo~ w ranks as less effective than the plac,ebo~a"t this period, and ,this difference becomes significant over the twenty-four-hour period. Both perphenazine and triethylperazine are significantly superior to both placebo and trimetho- benzamide over the twenty-four-hour period, with perphenazine ranking as the most effective. The differences between perphenazine and triethylperazine are not significant on the basis of these incidence comparisons. The f es ul ts are shown graphically in FigUre J:. Severity of Emetic Symptoms: The average score for emetic symptoms (includ:l[ng ,;cores of Zero.) for all patients is shown in Table IV. VVith thiethylperazine, the average was' 1..035 over the first two hours, rising, to 1.326 over the six,hour period, and reaeMng 2~ for the full twenty-four',hour period. Perphenaizine was slightly less efFec- tive, the scores for the three(iperiods being 1.127, 1.747, and 3.266. Trimetho- benzamide was less effective than the other drugs, !with average scores of 1.381, 2.083, and 4.560 over the three time periods, but !t was still more effective than placebo, which showed average scores of 2.325, ~,]120, and 5,241 at these thnes.

    POSTOPERATIVE VOMITING: A REVIEW ~ND ~?RESENT STATUS OF TREATMENT* L. E. SI2vlONSEN, M.D., C.NI., and S. L. VANDEWAjTER,M.D., r.R.c.r. (c.) t POSTOPERATIVE VO~vlITING remains one of the most I frequent complications en- countered by the anaesthetist. Although considered no|more than a nuisance complication, it can, in certain cases, contribute to more ~lSan just discomfort for the patient; it can threaten his very life either immediately through aspiration, or later by serious loss bf fluids and electrolytes. It cap also add considerable strain on some operation wounds. After Wang and Boxison 1 further delineated the vomit ng centre in 1952, most of the succeeding research and investigation into the ~ontrol of vomiting has centred about those drugs that have a depressant actio 1 on the chemoreceptor trigger zone (C.T.Z.). Out of these investigations have c ~me much valuable and interesting data which the anaesthetist may use as additio ns to his ever-expanding resources to provide safety and comfort to the surgical patient. THE VOMXTn~OCENTaE Neurophysiologists have long accepted the existence of a vomiting centre. Located in the medulla in the solitary tract and the dgrsal part of the lateral reticular formation, it lies in close relationship to ma:ay other centres whose functions are associated with the vomiting act such ts salivation, spasmodic respiratory movements, and forced inspiration. ~ Lying lorsolateral to the vagal nuclei and close to the vomiting centre in the area pos :rema of thefloor of the fourth ventricle is an accessory vomiting centre which Ihas been designated as the C.T.Z.

  • Parkinson's Disease Fact Sheet
    Parkinson’s Disease Fact Sheet About Parkinson’s Disease Parkinson’s disease is a progressive, incurable neurological disorder associated with a loss of dopamine-generating cells in the brain. It is primarily associated with progressive loss of motor control, but it results in a complex array of symptoms, including many non-motor symptoms. Parkinson’s impacts an estimated one million people in the United States. Critical Clinical Care Considerations • To avoid serious side effects, Parkinson’s patients need their medications on time, every time — do not skip or postpone doses. • Write down the exact times of day medications are to be administered so that doses are given on the same schedule the patient follows at home. • Do not substitute Parkinson’s medications or stop levodopa therapy abruptly. • Resume medications immediately following procedures, unless vomiting or severely incapacitated. • If an antipsychotic is necessary, use pimavanserin (Nuplazid), quetiapine (Seroquel) or clozapine (Clozaril). • Be alert for symptoms of dysphagia (trouble swallowing) and risk of pneumonia. • Ambulate as soon as medically safe. Patients may require assistance. Common Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease Motor Non-Motor • Shaking or tremor at rest • Depression • Bradykinesia or freezing (being stuck • Anxiety in place when attempting to walk) • Constipation • Low voice volume or muffled speech • Cognitive decline and dementia • Lack of facial expression • Impulse control disorders • Stiffness or rigidity of the arms, legs • Orthostatic hypotension or

  • High-Risk Medications in the Elderly
    High-Risk Medications in the Elderly The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) contracted with the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) to develop clinical strategies to monitor and evaluate the quality of care provided to Medicare beneficiaries. The NCQA’s Geriatric Measurement Advisory Panel identified several categories of medications that have an increased risk of adverse effects to elderly patients. The enclosed chart identifies several key medication categories that CMS and NCQA are monitoring. In an effort to ensure patients’ safety, many of our clients have established pre-authorization protocols for those prescriptions for high risk medications in patients older than 65 years of age. Since pharmacists have a very important role in patient care, we want you to be part of this safety initiative. We strongly encourage that you contact the prescriber when your elderly patient is requesting a new or refilled prescription of a high-risk medication listed on the below chart. Category High Risk Medications Alternatives Analgesics butalbital/APAP Mild Pain: butalbital/APAP/caffeine (ESGIC, FIORICET) acetaminophen, codeine, short-term NSAIDs butalbital /APAP/caffeine/codeine Moderate/Severe Pain: butalbital/ASA/caffeine (FIORINAL) tramadol (ULTRAM), tramadol/APAP* (ULTRACET), butalbital/ASA/caffeine/codeine morphine sulfate (MS CONTIN), ketorolac (TORADOL) hydrocodone/APAP (VICODIN, etc.), oxycodone indomethacin (INDOCIN) (OXYIR), oxycodone/APAP (PERCOCET), fentanyl meperidina (DEMEROL) patch (DURAGESIC), OXYCONTIN
