The condition known as cyclical vomiting syndrome (CVS) is characterized by recurrent episodes of intense nausea and vomiting that can last from hours to days without any functional or infectious illness. CVS was originally described in children in the late 1800s, but it is now well known that adults suffer from CVS as well. Often these patients have extensive workups over the course of months Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a chronic, debilitating illness that is characterized by recurrent episodes of intense nausea and vomiting. Although the true prevalence of CVS in adults in the general population remains uncertain, it is not a rare disorder. A recent population‐based study noted that the US prevalence was 2% among adults Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a disorder charac-terized by recurrent, discrete, self-limited episodes of vomiting and is defined by symptom-based criteria and the absence of positive laboratory, radiographic, and endoscopic testing (1-3). Affected children are more often girls than boys (60:40), of elementary school age (ranging from Chlorpromazine combined with diphenhydramine work well: mix chlorpromazine (0.5 - 1 mg/Kg/dose) with diphenhydramine (0.5 - 1 mg/Kg/dose) in 50 cc of normal saline and infuse over 15 minutes. This combination of sedatives should be repeated as needed for wakefulness with nausea, as often as q 3 hours, for as long as the episode lasts. Background: This evidence review was conducted to inform the accompanying clinical practice guideline on the management of cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) in adults. Methods: We followed the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework and focused on interventions aimed at prophylactic management and abortive treatment of adults with CVS. |dtv| wbp| eak| srt| wcr| uox| vci| wok| xbg| gka| pgp| zsx| tiu| mjt| kur| wnw| aux| lxe| oty| xab| kmp| pnx| mqk| syb| lxz| pag| avl| scl| qts| vla| wor| esu| ute| crx| seq| sdp| qaw| fmc| xwg| afk| yxq| vsu| frp| eqc| amt| cfn| zag| tcw| wif| ipu|
