Metoclopramide for nausea and vomiting prophylaxis during and after Caesarean delivery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

Nausea and vomiting occur commonly during and after Caesarean delivery (CD) performed under neuraxial anaesthesia. Metoclopramide is a prokinetic agent reported to be safe in parturients. This meta-analysis assesses the efficacy of metoclopramide for prophylaxis against intra- and postoperative nausea and vomiting (IONV and PONV) in parturients undergoing CD under neuraxial anaesthesia. We performed a literature search of MEDLINE (1966–2011), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE (1947–2011), Google scholar, and CINAHL for randomized controlled trials which compared metoclopramide with placebo in women having CD under neuraxial anaesthesia. Eleven studies with 702 patients were included in the analysis. Administration of metoclopramide (10 mg) resulted in a significant reduction in the incidence of ION and IOV when given before block placement [relative risk (RR) (95% confidence interval, 95% CI)=0.27 (0.16, 0.45) and 0.14 (0.03, 0.56), respectively] or after delivery [RR (95% CI)=0.38 (0.20, 0.75) and 0.34 (0.18, 0.66), respectively]. The incidence of early (0–3 or 0–4 h) PON and POV [RR (95% CI)=0.47 (0.26, 0.87) and 0.45 (0.21, 0.93), respectively] and overall (0–24 or 3–24 h) PON (RR 0.69; 95% CI 0.52, 0.92) were also reduced with metoclopramide. Extra-pyramidal side-effects were not reported in any patient. In conclusion, this review suggests that metoclopramide is effective and safe for IONV and PONV prophylaxis in this patient population. Given the quality of the studies and the infrequent use of neuraxial opioids, these results should be interpreted with caution in current practice and further studies are needed to confirm those findings.

Possible effects of anaesthetic management on the 1 yr followed-up risk of herpes zoster after Caesarean deliveries

Background As general anaesthesia may compromise the immune system, it has been hypothesized that latent varicella-zoster virus is more likely to be reactivated and cause herpes zoster in mothers after Caesarean deliveries under general anaesthesia. Our study was thus aimed at investigating the risk of herpes zoster among women during the first year after Caesarean deliveries under either general or regional anaesthesia.

 A new clinical practice guideline (CPG) from The Endocrine Society

Specific recommendations in the guideline include the following:

  • All patients, independent of a prior diagnosis of diabetes, should undergo laboratory blood glucose testing on admission. Inpatients with known diabetes or with hyperglycemia (glucose >7.8 mmol/L) should undergo testing of hemoglobin A1c levels if this had not been done in the preceding 2 or 3 months.
  • For most hospitalized patients with noncritical illness, the premeal glucose target is less than 140 mg/dL and the target for a random blood glucose level is less than 180 mg/dL. Antidiabetic treatment should be reevaluated when glucose levels drop below 5.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL) and should be modified if glucose levels are below 3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL).
  • Glycemic targets should be modified according to clinical status, with tighter control for patients who are not prone to hypoglycemia, and a higher target range (<11.1 mmol/L or 200 mg/dL) for patients with terminal illness or limited life expectancy, or who are at high risk for hypoglycemia.
  • Patients with diabetes who receive insulin at home should receive a scheduled regimen of subcutaneous insulin while they are hospitalized.
  • To prevent perioperative hyperglycemia, all patients with type 1 diabetes, and most patients with type 2 diabetes who undergo surgery, should be treated with intravenous continuous insulin infusion or subcutaneous basal insulin with as-needed bolus insulin.
  • All patients with high glucose values (>7.8 mmol/L [140 mg/dL]) on admission, and all patients receiving enteral or parenteral nutrition, should be monitored with bedside capillary point-of-care glucose testing, independent of diabetes history. The same applies to patients receiving therapies associated with hyperglycemia, such as corticosteroids or octreotide.
  • At least 1 to 2 hours before intravenous continuous insulin infusion is discontinued, all patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes should be transitioned to scheduled subcutaneous insulin therapy.

    The Addition of Lidocaine to Bupivacaine Does Not Shorten the Duration of Spinal Anesthesia: A Randomized, Double-Blinded Study of Patients Undergoing Knee Arthroscopy

    BACKGROUND: The duration of spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine is often too long for day surgery. A recent study of patients presenting for transurethral surgery suggested that the addition of a small amount of lidocaine to intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine could shorten the duration of the sensory and motor blocks. In this prospective, randomized double-blind study we investigated these findings in patients undergoing unilateral knee arthroscopy.

    Does a Postoperative Visit Increase Patient Satisfaction With Anaesthesia Care?

    Background. 'Continuity of personal care by anaesthetist', as defined by a single anaesthetist providing preoperative evaluation, performing anaesthesia, and delivering a postoperative visit to the patient, has been shown to be a major factor for patient satisfaction with anaesthesia care. This prospective randomized study investigated whether a single postoperative visit increased the patient's perception of 'Continuity of personal care by anaesthetist' and hence satisfaction.

    Chronic postsurgical pain after nitrous oxide anesthesia

    Introduction

    Nitrous oxide is an antagonist at the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor and may prevent the development of chronic postsurgical pain. The Evaluation of Nitrous Oxide in the Gas Mixture for Anaesthesia (ENIGMA) trial was a randomised, controlled trial of nitrous oxide-based or nitrous oxide-free general anaesthesia in patients presenting for non-cardiac surgery lasting more than 2 hours. These authors conducted a follow-up study in the ENIGMA trial patients to evaluate the preventive analgesic efficacy of nitrous oxide after major surgery.

    Impact of preoperative maintenance or interruption of aspirin on thrombotic and bleeding events after elective non-cardiac surgery: the multicentre, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, STRATAGEM trial

    Background: Patients receiving anti-platelet agents for secondary cardiovascular prevention frequently require non-cardiac surgery. A substantial proportion of these patients have their anti-platelet drug discontinued before operation; however, there is uncertainty about the impact of this practice. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of maintenance or interruption of aspirin before surgery, in terms of major thrombotic and bleeding events.

    Methods: Patients treated with anti-platelet agents for secondary prevention and undergoing intermediate- or high-risk non-cardiac surgery were included in this multicentre, randomized, placebo-controlled, trial. We substituted non-aspirin anti-platelets with aspirin (75 mg daily) or placebo starting 10 days before surgery. The primary outcome was a composite score evaluating both major thrombotic and bleeding adverse events occurring within the first 30 postoperative days weighted by their severity (weights were established a priori using a Delphi consensus process). Analyses followed the intention-to-treat principle.

    Results: We randomized 291 patients (n=145, aspirin group, and n=146, placebo group). The most frequent surgical procedures were orthopaedic surgery (52.2%), abdominal surgery (20.6%), and urologic surgery (15.5%). No significant difference was observed neither in the primary outcome score [mean values (sd)=0.67 (2.05) in the aspirin group vs 0.65 (2.04) in the placebo group, P=0.94] nor at day 30 in the number of major complications between groups.

    Conclusions: In these at-risk patients undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery, we did not find any difference in terms of occurrence of major thrombotic or bleeding events between preoperative maintenance or interruption of aspirin.ClinicalTrials.gov identifier.
