Brief Summary

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common complication after surgery. Patients undergoing orthognathic surgery are reported to have a high rate of PONV, especially those undergoing bimaxillary surgery. Activation of cholinergic system plays an important role in the development of PONV. Penehyclidine is an muscarinic antagonists which selectively block M1 and M3 receptors and is commonly used to decrease oral secretion. The investigators hypothesize that continuously administrated penehyclidine during perioperative period can reduce the incidence of PONV in patients undergoing bimaxillary surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of nausea and vomiting within 72 hours after bimaxillary surgery.

    Nausea was assessed by direct questioning. Vomiting was diagnosed when patients retched or expulsed intra-gastric contents.

    Up to 72 hours after surgery.

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Incidence of nausea and vomiting at different stages after bimaxillary surgery.

    Up to 72 hours after surgery.

  • Incidence of moderate to severe nausea at different stages after bimaxillary surgery.

    Up to 72 hours after surgery.

  • Incidence of moderate to severe nausea within 72 hours after bimaxillary surgery.

    Up to 72 hours after surgery.

  • Severity of nausea and vomiting within 72 hours after bimaxillary surgery.

    Up to 72 hours after surgery.

  • Use of rescue antiemetics within 72 hours after bimaxillary surgery.

    Up to 72 hours after surgery.

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (3)

  • Incidence of moderate to severe pain at different stages after bimaxillary surgery.

    Up to 72 hours after surgery.

  • Use of rescue analgesics within 72 hours after bimaxillary surgery.

    Up to 72 hours after surgery.

  • Subjective sleep quality within 3 days after bimaxillary surgery.

    In the morning of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd days after surgery.

Study Arms (3)

Control group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

For patients in the control group, a dose of placebo (normal saline 5 ml) is injected intravenously before anesthesia induction. A patient-controlled intravenous analgesia pump is provided after surgery, which is established with a mixture of placebo (normal saline 5 ml), sufentanil (1.25-1.5 ug/kg) and tropisetron 10 mg, diluted with normal saline to 100 ml, and programmed to administer a continuous infusion at a rate of 2 ml/h for 48 hours.

Drug: Placebo

Single injection group

EXPERIMENTAL

For patients in this group, a dose of penehyclidine (0.5 mg/5 ml) is injected intravenously before anesthesia induction. A patient-controlled intravenous analgesia pump is provided after surgery, which is established with a mixture of placebo (normal saline 5 ml), sufentanil (1.25-1.5 ug/kg) and tropisetron (10 mg), diluted with normal saline to 100 ml, and programmed to administer a continuous infusion at a rate of 2 ml/h for 48 hours.

Drug: Single injection of penehyclidine

Continuous infusion group

EXPERIMENTAL

For patients in this group, a dose of penehyclidine (0.25 mg/5 ml) is injected intravenously before anesthesia induction. A patient-controlled intravenous analgesia pump is provided after surgery, which is established with a mixture of penehyclidine (0.25 mg/5 ml), sufentanil (1.25-1.5 ug/kg) and tropisetron (10 mg), diluted with normal saline to 100 ml, and programmed to administer a continuous infusion at a rate of 2 ml/h for 48 hours.

Drug: Continuous infusion of penehyclidine

Interventions

A dose of penehyclidine hydrochloride (0.5 mg/5 ml) is injected intravenously before anesthesia induction. A patient-controlled intravenous analgesia pump is provided after surgery, which is established with a mixture of placebo (normal saline 5 ml), sufentanil (1.25-1.5 ug/kg) and tropisetron (10 mg), diluted with normal saline to 100 ml, and programmed to administer a continuous infusion at a rate of 2 ml/h for 48 hours.
