“…In this study, we observed that patients who are more educated are more likely to report chemotherapy‐induced nausea. This is contrary to the results of another study suggesting that education level is not a predictor of CINV in Asian patients with breast cancer receiving anthracycline . One study showed that patients who had some college education expected more side effects than patients who were high school graduates or had not completed high school .…”

“…Furthermore, pretreatment with one or more common antiemetics, such as dexamethasone or a 5-HT 3 receptor antagonist, eliminated the effect of nitrous oxide on severe PONV. Previous studies have shown that people of Asian descent have increased nausea and vomiting after selected types of chemotherapy 19 and an increased susceptibility to motion sickness, 20 possibly associated with an increase in vasopressin concentrations. We also demonstrated a higher risk of severe PONV with increasing time of exposure to nitrous oxide when surgery is greater than 2 h in duration.…”

Background The Evaluation of Nitrous oxide in the Gas Mixture for Anesthesia II trial randomly assigned 7,112 noncardiac surgery patients to a nitrous oxide or nitrous oxide–free anesthetic; severe postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) was a prespecified secondary end point. Thus, the authors evaluated the association between nitrous oxide, severe PONV, and effectiveness of PONV prophylaxis in this setting. Methods Univariate and multivariate analyses of patient, surgical, and other perioperative characteristics were used to identify the risk factors for severe PONV and to measure the impact of severe PONV on patient outcomes. Results Avoiding nitrous oxide reduced the risk of severe PONV (11 vs. 15%; risk ratio [RR], 0.74 [95% CI, 0.63 to 0.84]; P < 0.001), with a stronger effect in Asian patients (RR, 0.55 [95% CI, 0.43 to 0.69]; interaction P = 0.004) but lower effect in those who received PONV prophylaxis (RR, 0.89 [95% CI, 0.76 to 1.05]; P = 0.18). Gastrointestinal surgery was associated with an increased risk of severe PONV when compared with most other types of surgery (P < 0.001). Patients with severe PONV had lower quality of recovery scores (10.4 [95% CI, 10.2 to 10.7] vs. 13.1 [95% CI, 13.0 to 13.2], P < 0.0005); severe PONV was associated with postoperative fever (15 vs. 20%, P = 0.001). Patients with severe PONV had a longer hospital stay (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.14 [95% CI, 1.05 to 1.23], P = 0.002). Conclusions The increased risk of PONV with nitrous oxide is near eliminated by antiemetic prophylaxis. Severe PONV, which is seen in more than 10% of patients, is associated with postoperative fever, poor quality of recovery, and prolonged hospitalization.

“…1,2 As many as 80% of patients who received anthracycline-based chemotherapy and cyclophosphamide; a commonly prescribed adjuvant regimens for breast cancer, did experience some degree of nausea and vomiting. 3,4 Poorly controlled CINV symptoms may result in multiple physiologic consequences, pose impact on patient's quality of life (QoL) and alter patient's compliance with treatment. [5][6][7] In view of the gaps in the current practices, attention given to the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) as an adjuvant treatment has recently been escalating.…”
