droperidol and Breast Neoplasms

droperidol has been researched along with Breast Neoplasms in 8 studies

Droperidol: A butyrophenone with general properties similar to those of HALOPERIDOL. It is used in conjunction with an opioid analgesic such as FENTANYL to maintain the patient in a calm state of neuroleptanalgesia with indifference to surroundings but still able to cooperate with the surgeon. It is also used as a premedicant, as an antiemetic, and for the control of agitation in acute psychoses. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 29th ed, p593)
droperidol : An organofluorine compound that is haloperidol in which the hydroxy group has been eliminated with the introduction of a double bond in the piperidine ring, and the 4-chlorophenyl group has been replaced by a benzimidazol-2-on-1-yl group. It is used in the management of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and in conjunction with an opioid analgesic such as fentanyl to maintain the patient in a calm state of neuroleptanalgesia with indifference to surroundings but still able to cooperate with the surgeon.

Breast Neoplasms: Tumors or cancer of the human BREAST.

"116 consecutive patients scheduled for breast cancer surgery were prospectively scored according to pain, PONV and sedation after being introduced to a combined evidence-based, empiric multimodal opioid-sparing prevention and treatment regime consisting of Paracetamol, Celecoxib, Dextromethorphan, Gabapetin, Dexamethason and Ondansetron."3.74[Multimodal treatment of pain and nausea in breast cancer surgery].
