Preoperative Intravenous Fluid Type and Postoperative Nausea

Overview

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between postoperative nausea and vomiting, anxiety levels and pain scores in the postoperative period according to dosing and choosing of intravenous fluid type that the patients received in the preoperative period.

Fluid management is an integral and important part of perioperative treatment. In order to prevent organ damage, a key components of assuring adequate organ perfusion is to provide adequate volume and appropriate fluid. Types of the fluids, amount of the fluid given and timing of the administration are the main topics that determine the fluid management strategy. Colloids (e.g. albumin or fresh frozen plasma (FFP)) and crystalloids (e.g. ringer lactate, isotonic, 5% dextrose) are types of intravenous fluids that are used for fluid replacement apart from blood transfusion . Crystalloids are low-cost salt solutions with small molecules, which can move around easily when injected into the body. There are studies reporting that fluid therapy applied in the preoperative period reduces gastric acid secretion and reduces stomach movements and nausea and vomiting. In addition, there are studies reporting that fluids given in the preoperative period have a positive effect on anxiety levels by reducing the feeling of hunger and thirst in patients. There are studies reporting that fluid therapy reduces ATP destruction and oxidative stress, which contributes to the reduction of pain levels. 90 ASA I-II patients who will undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery will be included in the study and will be divided into three equal groups. Patients in Group 1 were administered 400 ml 0.9% saline infusion within 30 minutes, 2 hours before surgery. Patients in Group 2 were infused with 400 ml 5% Dextrose at the same infusion rate. In groups 1 and 2, 10 ml/kg/h 0.9% saline infusion was applied during the intraoperative period. Patients in Group 3 were administered 200 ml dextrose infusion in the preoperative period and 200 ml dextrose infusion in the intraoperative period. 0.9% saline infusion was applied so that the total intraoperative fluid volume was the same as in the other groups. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) , within 24 hours was compared between groups by PONV score. Other outcomes were the antiemetic drugs needed, The NRS Score, The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory , additional analgesic drug requirement. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between postoperative nausea and vomiting, anxiety levels and pain scores in the postoperative period according to dosing and choosing of intravenous fluid type that the patients received in the preoperative period.
