Pathophysiology • coordination of the respiratory, gastrointestinal and abdominal musculature • vomiting center: lateral reticular formation • in close proximity to the nucleus of the solitary tract in the brain stem • access to the motor pathways that are responsible for the visceral and somatic output involved in vomiting
Vomit Detectors • gastrointestinal tract (GIT) • vagus nerve • mechanoreceptors - muscular wall of the gut, activated by contraction and distension of the gut • chemoreceptors - mucosa of the upper gut, sensitive to noxious chemicals • chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) • area postrema • U-shaped structure a few millimeters long located on the dorsal surface of the medulla oblongata at the caudal end of the fourth ventricle • Outside BBB and CSF barrier: can be activated by chemical stimuli received through the blood as well as the cerebrospinal fluid
CTZ Area Postrema CNS (cerebral cortex, labyrinthine, visual, vestibular apparatus) Oropharynx Mediastinum Peritoneum Genitalia GIT
Receptors • vomiting center and vestibular nuclei: cholinergic receptors • area postrema: dopamine (D2), opioid and serotonin (5HT3) receptors • nucleus tractussolitarius: enkephalins, histaminic (H1), muscarinic cholinergic and NK-1 receptors • dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve: NK-1 receptors
Risk Factors • Patient related factors • female • history of PONV or motion sickness • non-smoking status • High levels of anxiety and postoperative pain, (pelvic or visceral origin)
Risk Factors SURGERY - Adults: • intra-abdominal surgery • major gynecological surgery • laparoscopic surgery • breast surgery • neurosurgery • eye and ENT surgery SURGERY - Pediatrics: • Strabismus • adenotonsillectomy • hernia repair • orchidopexy • penile surgery • middle ear procedures
Risk factors • Anesthesia related risk factors: • volatile agents • nitrous oxide • opioids • high doses of neostigmine (>2.5 mg) for the reversal of neuromuscular blockade
Risk Scoring Systems • Palazzo and Evans • logit postoperative sickness = -5.03 + 2.24 (postoperative opioids) + 3.97 (previous sickness history) + 2.4 (gender) + 0.78 (history of motion sickness) – 3.2 (gender × previous sickness history) • Koivuranta • Score=0.93 (if female) + 0.82 (if previous PONV) + 0.75 (if duration of surgery over 60min) + 0.61 (if nonsmoker) + 0.59 (if history of motion sickness) • Apfel et al • four predictors: female gender, history of motion sickness or PONV, non-smoking status and the use of opioids for postoperative analgesia • none, one, two, three or four of these risk factors present, the incidences of PONV: 10, 21, 39, 61 and 79 %
Nalbuphine • Synthetic opioid used commercially as an analgesic • SIDE EFFECTS • CNS effects: Nervousness, depression, restlessness, crying, euphoria, floating, hostility, unusual dreams, confusion, faintness, hallucinations, dysphoria, feeling of heaviness, numbness, tingling, unreality. The incidence of psychotomimetic effects, such as unreality, depersonalization, delusions, dysphoria and hallucinations • Cardiovascular: Hypertension, hypotension, bradycardia, tachycardia, pulmonary edema. • Gastrointestinal: Cramps, dyspepsia, bitter taste. • Respiration: Depression, dyspnea, asthma. • Dermatological: Itching, burning, urticaria.
Promethazine • first-generation H1 receptor antagonist • SIDE EFFECTS: • confusion in the elderly; drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, more rarely vertigo; dry mouth; respiratory depression; constipation; chest discomfort; euphoria (very rare, except with high IV doses and/or co-administration with opioids/CNS depressants); restless legs; paresthesia
Fentanyl • Opioid • 100x more potent than morphine • USE: Anaesthetic and analgesic • SIDE EFFECTS • SERIOUS: weak, shallow breathing, severe weakness, drowsiness, or confusion; cold, clammy skin; or feeling light-headed or fainting. • LESS SERIOUS: nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, constipation; dizziness, drowsiness, headache; swelling; or pain or mouth sores where the tablet was placed.
Propofol • short-acting, intravenously administered hypnotic agent • SIDE EFFECTS: • Pain on injection • Low blood pressure • Transient apnea • (Rare) Dystonia
Atracurium • intermediate-duration, nondepolarizing, skeletal muscle relaxant for intravenous administration
Ketorolac • NSAID • Inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 thereby inhibiting PG production • USE: short term management of severe to acute pain • SIDE EFFECTS: • rash, ringing in the ears, headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, and fluid retention. stomach ulceration and intestinal bleeding renal impairment allergic reactions
Morphine • Phenanthreneopioid receptor agonist • Interacts with μ-opioid receptor • Induces analegsia by mimicking endogenous endorphin release • principal effect on CNS and GI • Analgesia, sedation, euphoria
Morphine • SIDE EFFECTS • Bradycardia, Cardiac arrest, Hypotension, Palpitation,syncope, Flushing of the face, Orthostatic hypotension, Pruritus or itching, Xerostomia or dry mouth, Intermittent blurring, miosis, Visual distortions, Constipation, Nausea and vomiting or emesis, Hepatotoxicity, Renal failure, Bradypnea, dyspnea or respiratory depression
Differentials • Anaesthetic-induced • Opioid: fentanyl and morphine • Hypotension • Secondary to anaesthetic agent or to blood loss during surgery • Highly unlikely
Opioids • highly effective analgesics • WHO's pain ladder • step-wise approach to the use of analgesics • third and final step for severe pain. • Nausea and vomiting • undesirable side effects associated with the use of the opioid analgesics
Etiology & Risk Factors • Medication with opioids is a major contributory factor to post-operative nausea and vomiting. • For example the incidence of nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing minor gynaecological surgery has been reported to increase from 18% in a control group to more than 60% in patients receiving morphine or pethidine • Factors: type of opioid analgesic used, time course, route of administration; previous exposure to opioids
Cause • Opioids have direct action on the CTZ thru the 3 receptors (kappa - κ, delta - δ and mu - μ)
Consequences • When opioids are used post-operatively patients have little opportunity to develop tolerance to the emetic effects • compared to chronic opioid users i.e. cancer patients
Consequences • *Audit Commission Report: most common cause for unplanned overnight hospiltalization after surgery is PONV
Management • Anti-histamines • Anti-muscarinics • Dopamine receptor antagonists • Opioid receptor antagonists • But will inhibit desired analgesic effect
