Conditions

Post Operative Nausea and Vomiting, Sleeve Gastrectomy, Morbid Obesity

Keywords

Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting, Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy, ondansetron, gabapentine

Brief summary

The aim of this study is to compare the possible efficacy of ondansetron and gabapentin on postoperative nausea and vomiting in patient with morbid obesity who will undergo laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Detailed description

This study will be a double blind randomized, controlled, parallel, study. A total of1 00 morbidly obese patients who will be scheduled for sleeve gastrectomy will be included in the study. The patients will be selected from those attending Gastrointestinal and Laparoscopic Surgery Unit, General Surgery Department, Tanta University Hospital, Tanta, Egypt. The participants will be randomized into two groups by closed envelop method,

Interventions

50 patients will receive intravenous ondansetron 8 mg before the end of surgery.

DRUGGabapentin

50 patients will receive 600 mg oral gabapentin 1 h before anesthesia.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The primary outcome of this study will be the complete response within the first 48 h after surgery.The first 48 hours after surgery.Complete response is defined as the absence of PONV and the lack of a need for rescue antiemetic therapy

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
change in the level of the biological parameter vasopressinThe first 48 hours after surgery.5 ml of venous blood will be withdrawn from each participant by antecubital venipuncture. Blood samples will be centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 min to separate sera. Sera will be kept at deep freeze (-80°C) until analysis of serum concentrations of vasopressin
change in the level of the biological parameter dopamineThe first 48 hours after surgery.5 ml of venous blood will be withdrawn from each participant by antecubital venipuncture. Blood samples will be centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 min to separate sera. Sera will be kept at deep freeze (-80°C) until analysis of serum concentrations of dopamine
change in the level of the biological parameter substance pThe first 48 hours after surgery.5 ml of venous blood will be withdrawn from each participant by antecubital venipuncture. Blood samples will be centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 min to separate sera. Sera will be kept at deep freeze (-80°C) until analysis of serum concentrations of substance p
change in the level of the biological parameter SerotoninThe first 48 hours after surgery.5 ml of venous blood will be withdrawn from each participant by antecubital venipuncture. Blood samples will be centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 min to separate sera. Sera will be kept at deep freeze (-80°C) until analysis of serum concentrations of Serotonin
change in the level of the biological parameter Tachykinin 1The first 48 hours after surgery.5 ml of venous blood will be withdrawn from each participant by antecubital venipuncture. Blood samples will be centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 min to separate sera. Sera will be kept at deep freeze (-80°C) until analysis of serum concentrations of Tachykinin 1
