Analysis of the application of PONV intensity scale among the Chinese patients with laparoscopic operation / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To esplore the effecf and the practical utility of the postoperative nausea and vomiting intensity scale for Chinese patients with laparoscopic operation .Methods Ninety patients with ASA I-II,Apfel≥2 were enrolled .Interviews were carried out at 6 and 24 hours postoperatively .Measurements included the PONV Inten-sity Scale,nausea and pain visual analogue scale .Quality of Recovery Score and antiemetic were used .The patients whose PONV intensity score ≥50 were assessed by PONV intensity scale and PONV VAS .Results There was signif-icant difference of the occurrence of clinical PONV between the patients with Apfel ≥3 and those with Apfel=2(P<0.05).The PONV Intensity Scale had a stronger correlation with PONV VAS ,r=0.946(P<0.01).The PONV In-tensity Scale had a stronger correlation with QOR,r=-0.937(P<0.01).Patients with clinically important PONV at 24 hours required more antiemetic therapy (P=0.024).PONV rate of the patients with a clinically significant score VS those without a clinically significant score was 80%VS 18%(P<0.05).Conclusion PONV intensity scale can distinguish trivial from clinically important PONV availably in Chinese Laparoscopic operation .It is more reliable than PONV VAS.Patients with clinically important PONV required more antiemetic therapy .Clinically important PONV ,as determined by the PONV Intensity Scale ,was associated with a poor quality of recovery .
