Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to see if the nicotine patch reduces post operative nausea and/or vomiting (PONV) among non-smoking patients who are at high risk of PONV.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

There are certain known risk factors for post-operative nausea and/or vomiting: the use of opioids during surgery, female gender, laparoscopic surgery, gynecologic surgery, strabismus repair, the use of a general anesthetic, obesity, and non-smoker. Patients with four or more of these risk factors have an 80% occurrence rate of post-operative nausea and/or vomiting and are classified as "high risk". It has been shown that those who use tobacco have about a 50% reduction in post-operative nausea and/or vomiting.

1

The nicotine patch will be applied prior to surgery and remain on the right upper back for 24 hours.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

transdermal nicotine patch

Intervention Type DRUG

The 7 mg transdermal nicotine patch will be applied to the right upper back prior to surgery. It will be covered with an opaque bandage to minimize inadvertent removal and conceal which patch has been placed.

2

The placebo patch has no active ingredients and the same inactive ingredients as the nicotine patch. It will be administered the same fashion as the nicotine patch.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

placebo patch

Intervention Type DRUG

The placebo patch will be applied to the right upper back prior to surgery. It will be covered with an opaque bandage to minimize inadvertent removal and conceal which patch has been placed.
