Abstract

Background: Pain, nausea and vomiting are among the most disturbing problems after general anesthesia. Pain is the main problem following major surgeries, whereas nausea and vomiting are considered to be the most disturbing complications following STRABISMUS surgery. Antiemetic drugs may lead to unexpected side effects such as extra pyramidal syndromes, drowsiness and hypotension. Therefore, studies are being undertaken to evaluate ACUPUNCTURE for the control of nausea and vomiting. Patients and Methods: In a clinical trial, 60 patients with an age range of 5-14 years, who were scheduled for elective outpatient STRABISMUS surgery were randomly divided into two groups of 30 patients; the case and control groups. After induction of general anesthesia with thiopental and atracurium, Pc6 (Neiguan) points of both forearms were pierced and stimulated with special needles by rotating clockwise for 15 seconds, after which the needles were removed. In the control group, patients received no antiemetic therapy or ACUPUNCTURE. Maintenance of anesthesia was similar in all patients of both groups. The incidence of nausea and vomiting in the recovery room (first 2 post-operative hours) and the first day (2-24 hours after operation) were recorded. Results: In the recovery room, the incidence of nausea in the control group was 30% while this figure was 10% in the study group (p<0.05). The incidence of vomiting in the control and study groups was 20% and 10%, respectively (p=0.47). The incidence of nausea in the first post-operative day was 35.7% and 29.6% in the control and the study groups, respectively. For the same period, 25% of the control and 26% of the study group suffered from vomiting. The incidence of nausea and vomiting Oh the first day had no statistical difference between the control and the study groups and the beneficial effect of ACUPUNCTURE had been disappeared. Conclusion: After the induction of anesthesia, ACUPUNCTURE of Pc6 (Neiguan) points in children scheduled for STRABISMUS surgery, effectively reduced the incidence of nausea during the patients stay in the recovery room. Repeated ACUPUNCTURE or acupressure of Pc6 points are recommended in order to continue and potentate this beneficial effect in the first day following STRABISMUS surgery.
