Brief Summary

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

This study will compare two different ways to relieve nausea and vomiting in the Emergency Department. The usual treatment for nausea/vomiting is a drug called Zofran, but new studies have suggested that smelling alcohol pads can also help to relieve nausea and vomiting.

Detailed Description

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

Emergency physicians commonly use medications to alleviate nausea and vomiting. The medication Ondansetron is used in the emergency department and after surgery for this purpose. Inhaled isopropyl alcohol has been successfully used to decrease nausea and vomiting after surgery. No trial has compared inhaled isopropyl alcohol to Ondansetron in a clinical trial.

The author proposes to prospectively investigate extension of the established antiemetic efficacy of inhaled isopropyl alcohol for undifferentiated nausea in Emergency Department patients to the 30-minute post-intervention point that has been reported to be the frequent juncture of symptom relief. By introducing prolonged intervention, and re-dosing of established benefit, into this research, the author aims to reproduce the sustained antiemetic efficacy of inhaled isopropyl alcohol for undifferentiated nausea as demonstrated for post-operative nausea and vomiting.
