ObjectiveTo observe the effect of psychological behavior intervention on anticipatory nausea and vomiting (ANV) of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. MethodsA total of 185 patients receiving chemotherapy between 2012 and 2013 were randomly divided into psychological behavior intervention group (study group) and conventional nursing group (control group). ANV classification standard and hospital anxiety and depression scale were used to evaluate the degree of ANV in the subjects. ResultsGeneral information of the two groups had no difference (P＞ 0.05) and showed good comparability. Both the incidence and degree of ANV in the study group were significantly less than those of control group (P＜ 0.01) . Moreover, the incidence of anxiety and depression showed significant difference between the two groups (P＜ 0.05) . ConclusionPsychological behavior intervention is an effective method to improve the treatment adherences and life quality of ANV patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the patient’s psychological anticipation and occurrence of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), and to assess the influence of CINV on quality of life, so as to provide evidence for clinical doctors to recognize and pay attention to CINV. Methods The patients in the Tongji Hospital affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology who took either moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC) or highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC) were randomly sampled with a questionnaire for two circles. Patients were asked to record the following indexes before chemotherapy, on the second day and the sixth day of chemotherapy: acute and delayed nausea and vomiting, independently taking antiemetics, and functional living index-emesis (FLIE). Then, descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were adopted for the outcomes of investigation. Results A total of 344 patients were investigated, of which 303 fulfilled the questionnaire finally. For the single-day chemotherapy, the acute nausea and vomiting, delayed nausea vomiting and overall complete remission in the MEC group were 86.1%, 76.6%, and 71.5%, respectively; while those of the HEC group were 84.1%, 71.0%, and 66.7%, respectively. For the multi-day chemotherapy, the acute nausea and vomiting, delayed nausea vomiting and overall complete remission were 93.8%, 64.9%, and 64.9%, respectively. Patients’ expectation of nausea and anticipatory anxiety was closely related to the delayed nausea in their prior circle of chemotherapy. Based on the FLIE assessment, about 30% of all patients reported reduced daily living function. Conclusion CINV remains a significant problem among patients in China, especially in controlling the reaction during delayed phase and nausea as well. It requires that more attention should be paid to CINV and more effective prophylaxis should be adopted in clinical practice.
Objective To explore the nursing effect of using Neiguan acupoint massage combined with chewing gum in patients undergoing day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods A prospective study was conducted on patients who underwent day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between March 2023 and March 2024. The patients were randomly divided into the control group and the intervention group according to a random number table. The control group received routine care, while the intervention group received chewing gum and Neiguan acupoint massage intervention at the P6 acupoint in addition to routine care. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), pain scores, gastrointestinal function recovery time, medication use, and hospitalization related indicators were compared between the two groups of patients after surgery. Results A total of 298 patients were included. Among them, there were 163 cases in the control group and 135 cases in the intervention group. The incidence of PONV at 0.5 and 2 hours after surgery and the pain scores at 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The first bowel sounds recovery time, anal exhaust time, and eating time in the intervention group were shorter than those in the control group (P<0.05). Twenty-four hours after surgery, the usage rate of analgesic drugs (6.67% vs. 14.11%) and the usage rate of rescue antiemetic drugs (2.96% vs. 8.59%) in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the delayed discharge rate or total cost between the two groups (P>0.05). The nursing satisfaction of the intervention group was higher than that of the control group (99.26% vs. 93.25%, P<0.05). Conclusions After the combination of Neiguan acupoint massage and chewing gum intervention in patients undergoingin day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the PONV incidence and pain are significantly reduced, gastrointestinal functions recover faster, drug use rate is low, patient nursing satisfaction is high. This method can be promoted and applied.
Objective To compare the effectiveness of P6 stimulation and sham stimulation/ drug intervention on prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Methods We searched PubMed (1990 to 2010), OVID (1990 to 2010), EBSCO (1990 to 2010), The Cochrane Library (1996 to 2010), PNAI (1990 to 2010), Hight Wirepres (1990 to 2010), and Chinese Digital Hospital Library (www.chkd.cnki.net) (1999 to 2010) to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about P6 stimulation and sham stimulation/drug intervention on prevention of PONV. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed and the data was extracted according to the Cochrane Reviewer’s Handbook 4.2.2. Meta-analyses were performed using RevMan 4.2 software. Results A total of 21 studies were included. The results of meta-analyses indicated that: (1) Compared with sham stimulation, P6 stimulation could be effective in preventing postoperative nausea (beginning to termination) (Plt;0.000 01), postoperative early nausea (lt;after surgery 6 h) (P=0.000 6) and postoperative late nausea (gt;after surgery 6 h) (P=0.001). (2) Compared with sham stimulation, P6 stimulation could be effective in preventing postoperative vomiting (beginning to termination) (Plt;0.0.000 1) and postoperative early vomiting (P=0.002), but as to postoperative late vomiting (gt;after surgery 6 h), P6 stimulation had no effective preventive effect (P=0.08). (3) Compared with the drug intervention, P6 stimulation had little effect on preventing postoperative nausea (P=0.29) and vomiting (P=0.15). Conclusion Compared with sham stimulation, P6 stimulation can be effective in preventing postoperative early nausea and vomiting as well as postoperative late nausea, but not effective in preventing postoperative late vomiting. In comparison with drugs, a large number of clinical trials are needed to prove P6 stimulation can replace drugs to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting.
Objective?To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 5 HT-3 receptor inhibitor tropisetron injected in the postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after general anesthesia. Methods?We searched the PubMed, EBSCO, Springer, Ovid, and CNKI to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about tropisetron in preventing PONV after general anesthesia from January 1995 to September 2009. We also consulted references of the included studies for omission. The methodological quality of the included RCTs was assessed and data were extracted according to the standard of the Cochrane Handbook 5.0.1. The meta-analyses were performed by RevMan 4.2.10 software. Results?A total of 17 RCTs involving 4 678 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that: (1) Efficacy: tropisetron injected could decrease the incidence of PONV after general anesthesia (RR=0.41, 95%CI 0.29 to 0.60), and decrease the incidence of PONV after general anesthesia with opioid drugs in patient controlled analgesia (RR=0.30, 95%CI 0.15 to 0.60); tropistron injected once or more could decrease the incidence of PONV in combination of PCA with tramadol (RR=0.41, 95%CI 0.29 to 0.56; RR=0.10, 95%CI 0.06 to 0.19); and tropisetron combined with dexamethasome could also lessen the incidence of PONV (RR=0.27, 95%CI 0.13 to 0.57). (2) Safety: Tropisetron injected could lessen the incidence of postoperative headache and dizziness (RR=0.35, 95%CI 0.16 to 0.75), but could not significantly decrease the pruritus and somnolence. Conclusion?Tropisetron injected can significantly decrease the incidence of PONV after general anesthesia, and it will not increase the adverse effect and the incidence of postoperative complications. Furthermore, it has also the advantage of decreasing postoperative headache and dizziness.

Objective To explore whether bundled care for anesthesia management can reduce the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Methods The data of laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients admitted to the Day Surgery Center of West China Hospital, Sichuan University between July and November 2021 were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into a bundled care group and a control group based on whether anesthesia management was implemented according to the bundled care. The demographic characteristics, intraoperative anesthesia management methods, postoperative conditions, and incidence of PONV between the two groups of patients were analyzed and compared. Results A total of 314 patients were included. Among them, there were 124 cases in the bundled care group and 190 cases in the control group; PONV occurred in 52 cases, the incidence of PONV was 16.6% (52/314). Except for surgical time and postoperative incision infiltration (P>0.05), there were statistically significant differences in age, gender, body mass index, anesthesia time, airway establishment, and postoperative analgesic use between the two groups of patients (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of PONV between the bundled care group and the control group (17 vs. 35 cases; χ2=1.205, P>0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that PONV was correlated with gender [odds ratio=0.107, 95% confidence interval (0.030, 0.375), P<0.001], and using bundled care [odds ratio=0.388, 95% confidence interval (0.169, 0.894), P=0.026]. Conclusions Women are at high risk of PONV among patients undergoing day laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The risk of PONV is lower when using bundled care.
