| Abstract | Objective:The mechanisms leading to the high incidence of postoperative vomiting (POV) after gynaecological laparoscopic surgery are still unknown. The effectiveness of POV-prophylaxis using H1 + H2-receptor antagonists has been demonstrated, suggesting a role for histamine in the pathogenesis of POV. However, histamine levels were not measured in these studies. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of plasma histamine release and its association with POV after gynaecological laparoscopic surgery. Material or subjects:Twenty-two female patients, aged 20-56 y, classified ASA physical status I or II, undergoing elective gynaecological laparoscopic surgery were enrolled in the study. Blood samples for plasma histamine measurements were drawn at defined time points perioperatively. Emetic symptoms were recorded within the first 24 h after operation. A standardized balanced anaesthesia without any prophylactic antiemetic medication was applied. Formal causality analysis for histamine as a determinant for POV was performed. Results:The overall incidence of POV was 40.9% (9 out of 22 patients). Twelve out of 22 patients (54.5%) demonstrated a histamine release reaction during the whole observation period. Six out of 9 patients with POV (66.7%) had a histamine release. There was no difference in mean plasma histamine levels between POV-positive and POV-negative patients. The conditional probability for POV with histamine release was 6/12 = 0.5, in contrast to 3/10 = 0.3 for POV without histamine release. Conclusions:A high incidence of plasma histamine release was demonstrated in most but not all patients with POV. The probability of POV with histamine release (0.5) was higher than without histamine release (0.3), thus histamine release was shown to be one of the contributory determinants for POV in this clinical study. Thus, patients at risk for POV may benefit from a H1 + H2-receptor antagonists prophylaxis alone or in combination with other antiemetic strategies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
