About

This study to determine the effectiveness of a combination of pre-surgical laserpuncture with standard anti-emetic therapy for PONV symptoms in adult patients after strabismus surgery under general anesthesia compared to a combination of pre-surgical placebo laserpuncture with standard anti-emetic therapy. Research design using a double blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) where research subjects and data takers who will be disguised. The research will be carried out in the Operation and Inpatient Room, Kirana Building, RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM) with research subjects as adult patients undergoing strabismus surgery under general anesthesia. Assessment of nausea and vomiting using AVS ( Analog Visual Scale) consists of scoring using a score from 1-5 which indicates the severity of nausea and vomiting.

Full description

This clinical trial is to evaluate the role of laserpuncture as a prevention of nausea and vomiting in adult patients after strabismus surgery under general anesthesia. Participants are 32 males/females aged 18-59 years. They will be divided into 2 groups: (1) Group laserpuncture and (2) Sham laserpuncture. The study intervention was performed 30 minutes before surgery. The primary outcome in this study was the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
