Introduction: Nausea and vomiting is a common manifestation in anatomic as and Functional disorders, and these are current complications after general anesthesia and are unpleasant and with secondary complications. Nausea and vomiting are the most common complications after general abesthesia.
Materials and Methods: In this study we compared three methods which one of them is acupressure (non invasive and non medical and is one of subtype of acupuncture) with other methods consisting of IV metoclopramide and placebo. This controlled study was done in teaching Vali-Asr hospital. Total number of patients was 420, type of sampling was random. Type of operation was laparotomy and all of them had general anesthesia. We divided them in three equal groups (acupressure group, metoclopramide group, and placebo group). In this study we used from history and examination and we finished puzzles and we use from statistician.
Results: we concluded that there is no valuable difference between metoclopramide and acupressure group ( with considering odds-Ratio and 0.6). we resulted that with using from acupressure and IV metoclopramide there will be lesser nausea and vomiting when comparing these two groups with placebo.
Conclusion: We compared these data we find that acupressure is a suggestive and valuable method and also noninvasive and inexpensive and also effective method in preventing post operative nausea and vomiting.
