Improving nausea and vomiting care during surgery
This trial tests a new approach to prevent nausea and vomiting after surgery. It compares usual care to a structured plan that matches anti-nausea medicines to your personal risk factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having surgery with general anesthesia using a breathing tube or laryngeal mask.
- You have at least one risk factor for nausea/vomiting (like motion sickness, history of nausea after surgery, being a non-smoker, being female, surgery expected to last over an hour, certain surgeries (e.g., gallbladder, laparoscopy, gynecologic), or receiving opioids during surgery).
- You are not having certain procedures (like ECT, labor epidurals, TEE/cardioversion, or surgery lasting less than 30 minutes).
- You are not expected to go to the ICU directly after surgery while still on a breathing tube.

This trial tests if adding HRS5580 to standard anti-nausea medicine works better to stop vomiting after surgery. You may qualify if you are at moderate-to-high risk for nausea after general anesthesia.
This trial tests a combination of methods to prevent nausea and vomiting after gynecological surgery using a laparoscope (a small camera). The study uses acupressure and other supportive care techniques to see if they can reduce post-surgery nausea, which is a common and uncomfortable side effect.
This trial tests a new pain medicine (Tegileridine) against a standard one (Sufentanil) during laparoscopic surgery. It is for patients who have a high risk of nausea and vomiting after surgery.
This trial tests if adding a medication called amisulpride to standard anti-nausea drugs can better prevent vomiting and nausea after gynecologic surgery. It is for women at high risk of postoperative nausea.
This study tests whether combining a very mild nerve stimulation (taVNS) with a sedative (dexmedetomidine) can reduce nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic surgery. It may be a good option if you are scheduled for keyhole surgery and want to feel better afterward.
This study tests two different medication combinations to prevent nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery. You'll receive either ondansetron plus metoclopramide, or dexamethasone plus metoclopramide, and researchers will track how quickly you need rescue medication if nausea occurs.
