Effects of the menstrual cycle on the incidence of nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic gynecological surgery / 临床麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of the different phases of menstrual cycle on the incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV)after laparoscopic gynecological surger-ies.Methods A total of 228 women undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgeries were enrolled from Mar 2016 to Feb 2017 in our hospital.They were classified into three groups according to the different phases of menstrual cycle at the time of surgeriesgroup follicular phase (n =98),group o-vulatory phase (n =79),and group luteal phase (n =59).The incidence of PONV and the use of res-cue antiemetic drugs were recorded within 0-2 h,0-24 h periods after surgeries.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was applied to identify independent risk factors of PONV.Results The incidence of 0-2 h PONV and 0-24 h PONV were 23.2% (53/228)and 54.8% (125/228)respectively.Univa-riate analysis showed that the incidence of PONV in the different phases of menstrual cycle was not statistically significant,as well as 0-24 h.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of 0-2 h PONV in group luteal phase might be higher than that in group follicular phase,however, the difference was not statistically significant (OR =2.289,95%CI 0.979-5.355,P =0.056).And two independent risk factors of 0-2 h PONV were identifiedduration of operation > 1 h (OR =3.176,95% CI 1.567-6.436,P = 0.001 )and history of PONV (OR = 5.711,95% CI 1.710-19.080,P =0.005).Three independent risk factors of 0-24 h PONV were identifiedduration of op-eration>1 h (OR = 2.714,95%CI 1.525-4.829,P = 0.001 ),postoperative PCA (OR = 2.717, 95%CI 1.233-5.986,P = 0.013 )and application of metronidazole (OR = 3.926,95%CI 1.808-8.527,P =0.001).Conclusion There was no significant effect of different phases of menstrual cycle on the incidence of nausea and vomiting after gynecologic laparoscopic surgeries.
