The incidence of nausea in relation to pain was recorded in 104 patients after abdominal operations. Ten per cent of the patients had episodes of nausea not related to pain. One hundred and fourteen episodes of concomitant pain and nausea were recorded in 61 patients (58.6 per cent). ⋯ Relief of pain with persistence of nausea was uncommon and if pain relief was inadequate nausea was unabated. Nausea was provoked by 3.4 per cent of the morphine injections, but all patients tolerated similar doses of morphine on other occasions without nausea. Nausea often accompanies pain in the early postoperative period and can be relieved concomitant with the pain by the intravenous use of opiates in adequate doses in a high proportion of cases.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical Trial
The antiemetic effect of dixyrazine in postoperative patients-- a double-blind study.
A double-blind controlled study based on 197 women undergoing legal abortion (part I) or gynaecological surgery (part II) was employed to estimate the antiemetic effect of dixyrazine. Dixyrazine or part I) or intramuscularly at the end of anaesthesia (part II) and repeated when necessary. ⋯ Overall, a marked antiemetic response in the dixyrazine groups was observed when compared with the placebo treated groups in both part I and II (p less than 0.001). Dixyrazine proved to be superior to placebo especially in patients who were not prone to nausea or who received no major postoperative analgesics (p less than 0.001).
