Study summary

Nausea and vomiting after surgery are one of the complications that occur after general anesthesia, and the frequency is reported to range from 10% to 80% in the high-risk group. Several studies have introduced drugs and methods to prevent nausea and vomiting after surgery. Among them, midazolam administered before surgery is known to have anti-anxiolytic and sedative effects on the prevention of nausea and vomiting after surgery. It has also been reported to increase its effectiveness when administered with other antiemetic agents.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of administration of combination with midazolam and different antiemetic agents on the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting in high-risk patients.

Read the detailed description

This prospective study evaluates female, nonsmoking patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The patients are divided into those with and without postoperative nausea and vomiting. The purpose of this study is to compare and observe the effect of administration of midazolam and two different antiemetics on prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

0.05mg/kg of midazolam is administered intravenously 10 minutes before surgery as a pretreatment. 0.3mg ramosetron is administered intravenously right before the end of surgery and 0.075mg palonosetron is administered intravenously immediately after induction of anesthesia. The incidence of PONV, severity of nausea, use of rescue antiemetics, and pain severity was evaluated at 2 hours, 24hours, and 48 hours after surgery.

Study population

female patients aged 20 to 65 with ASA physical status 1 or 2 undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • 20-65 years old with (ASA) physical status 1-2 and scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • pregnant or breast feeding patients
  • smokers
  • patients with history of chronic opioid abuse
  • to 5-HT3 receptor antagonists or analgesics
  • those who were antiemetic or opioid treatment within 24 hours prior to surgery
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ASA physical status

The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Sep 2019 to primary completion in Jun 2020, 9 months.

Of 52 non-industry observational studies under Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 37. This study's 9 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 52 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 37.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 2, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
