EFFICACY OF LEVOSULPIRIDE IN MINIMIZING POST-OPERATIVE NAUSEA & VOMITING AFTER LAPROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY

Journal Title: International Journal Of Advances In Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 6

Abstract

Background: Gallstone disease and its symptoms are frequently encountered in Indian population. Approximately, 80% of the gallstones are asymptomatic. Female sex, obesity, pregnancy, rapid weight loss, gallbladder stasis, and increasing age are a few risk factors for the development of gallstones. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted over a period of one year in the Department of Surgery from January 2018 to December, 2018. Patients admitted in the Department of Surgery for elective laparoscopic cholecystecytomy were enrolled in the study after fulfilling the eligibility criteria. The patients were allocated into 2 groups of 50 patients each on the basis of random sampling method. Result: Pre-operative administration of injection levosulpiride 25 mg in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries under general anesthesia significantly (P<0.001) reduces the incidence of pre-operative nausea & vomiting. Conclusion: It was hence seen to improve the quality of patient care in early stage of post-operative rehabilitation and also decreases the duration of hospital stay
