Abstract [sv]

Postoperativt illamående och kräkningar, PONV, har sedan anestesins begynnelse vållat patienten stort lidande. Tillståndet kan förlänga den postoperativa vistelsen och är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till oplanerad inläggning av patienter i samband med dagkirurgi. Syftet med föreliggande arbete var att undersöka den förebyggande effekten av akupressur som ensam intervention eller i kombination med viss farmakologisk antiemetisk terapi vid postoperativt illamående och kräkningar hos vuxna patienter efter allmänkirurgi. En systematisk litteraturstudie genomfördes och tio vetenskapliga artiklar inkluderades och kvalitetsbedömdes. Sökning utfördes i databaserna PubMed, EBSCO HOST och Cochrane Library. Dessutom genomfördes manuell sökning. Resultatet visade att akupressur på en speciell triggerpunkt, P6, har en förebyggande effekt mot PONV. Ondansetron och akupressur är lika effektivt mot PONV, medan Droperidol verkar ha bättre effekt än akupressur. Slutsatsen var att akupressur har en plats som profylaktisk antiemetika för att förebygga PONV.

Abstract [en]

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) has since the beginning of anesthesia caused the patient great suffering. It can prolong the post-operative stay and is one of the most common reasons for unplanned admittance of patients in connection to day surgery. The aim of this work was to study the preventive effect of acupressure as the lone intervention or in combination with certain pharmacological antiemetic therapies for post-operative nausea and vomiting in adult patients who have undergone general surgery. A systematic literature review was conducted and ten articles were included and each study subjected to a quality assessment. A PubMed, EBSCO HOST and Cochrane Library Database were conducted and a manual search of the literature references completed the search. The results showed that acupressure at the P6 meridian point has a preventive effect against PONV and that Ondansetron and acupressure are similarly effective against PONV, while Droperidal seems to have a better effect than acupressure. The conclusion was that acupressure can be used prophylactic to prevent PONV.
