cough/nausea

BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and fentanyl-induced cough (FIC) are two common anaesthesia-related events, which seem to have common risk factors. In this prospective cohort study, we investigate whether patients who have FIC during induction of anaesthesia have an increased

BACKGROUND Nonintubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has been widely developed during the recent years. Cough reflex is an inevitably encountered problem while approaching lung lesions, and it may induce major bleeding. Sevoflurane anesthesia may attenuate cough reflex by inhibiting the

Background: Bronchogenic cysts are congenital malformations from abnormal budding of embryonic foregut and tracheobronchial tree. We present a case of bronchogenic cyst with severe back pain, epigastric distress and refractory nausea and vomiting. Case Presentation: A 44-year-old Hispanic female

Idiopathic low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure headache is considered to be one that worsens within 15 min of sitting-up or standing-up, accompanied by at least one of the following: neck stiffness, tinnitus, hypacusia, photophobia and nausea. Several reports suggest that a substantial number of

Background and objectives: Spontaneous carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs) are rare, and they may be caused by an aneurysm rupture. Materials and Methods: A case of a man hospitalized for high-intensity hemicranial headache with sudden cough onset as part of an upper respiratory tract

Background: Combination of dexmedetomidine and opioid may be an alternative to high-dose opioid in attenuating cough during emergence from anesthesia, while also reducing the adverse effects of high-dose opioid. We tested the hypothesis that a single-dose of dexmedetomidine combined with

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to discover the optimal effect-site concentration of remifentanil for cough prevention that does not delay awakening or cause respiratory depression during emergence from anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil in laryngomicrosurgery

There are multiple potential states and/or symptoms that may occur in the palliative care population including: pain, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, anorexia, dyspnea, hiccups, cough, constipation, abdominal cramps/bloating, diarrhea, pruritis, depression/anxiety, dysphagia and sleep disturbances. Some

The medical and social impact of cough is substantial. Current antitussive agents at effective doses have adverse events such as drowsiness, nausea and constipation that limit their use. There is also recent evidence that standard antitussive agents, such as codeine, may not reduce cough during

Nausea and vomiting during the infusion of cryopreserved peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) are common. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of lollipop with strawberry aroma on the infusion-related nausea and vomiting of cryopreserved autologous PBSCs. We compared 2 groups of adult

Cough is an important defensive reflex of the upper airway and is also a very common symptom of respiratory disease. Cough following an upper respiratory viral infection is transient, and persistent cough is associated with a whole range of conditions, such as asthma, rhino-sinusitis and
