  • Postoperative Vomiting: a Review and Present Status of Treatment
    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.

  • Antihistamine Therapy in Allergic Rhinitis
    CLINICAL REVIEW Antihistamine Therapy in Allergic Rhinitis Paul R. Tarnasky, MD, and Paul P. Van Arsdel, Jr, MD Seattle, Washington Allergic rhinitis is a common disorder that is associated with a high incidence of mor­ bidity and considerable costs. The symptoms of allergic rhinitis are primarily depen­ dent upon the tissue effects of histamine. Antihistamines are the mainstay of therapy for allergic rhinitis. Recently, a second generation of antihistamines has become available. These agents lack the adverse effect of sedation, which is commonly associated with older antihistamines. Current practice of antihistamine therapy in allergic rhinitis often involves random selection among the various agents. Based upon the available clinical trials, chlorpheniramine appears to be the most reasonable initial antihistaminic agent. A nonsedating antihis­ tamine should be used initially if a patient is involved in activities where drowsiness is dangerous. In this comprehensive review of allergic rhinitis and its treatment, the cur­ rent as well as future options in antihistamine pharmacotherapy are emphasized.
