The Effect of Cold Application on Nausea and Vomiting After Bariatric Surgery
Sponsor: Sakarya University
Summary
Obesity is a chronic disease resulting from an excess of body fat mass relative to lean body mass, characterized by a deterioration in the individual's quality of life and health (Kayar and Utku, 2013; Usta and Çavdar, 2013; Tam and Çakır, 2012; Tuncalı et al., 2018). Bariatric surgery is becoming increasingly common worldwide. Nausea and vomiting are among the most frequently observed complications in these patients. This study will be conducted to assess patients for the risk of nausea and vomiting and to examine the effects of a cold application nursing intervention. The lack of sufficient literature measuring nausea and vomiting in patients following bariatric surgery prompted us to undertake this study.

Upon the individual's arrival at the unit, the status of nausea (including severity) and vomiting was assessed, and physiological parameters were measured. A cold compress wrapped in gauze was applied to the patient's upper neck area and left in place for five minutes. Following the procedure, the status of nausea (including severity), vomiting, and physiological parameters was re-evaluated. The use of antiemetic and opioid medications was also recorded.
