    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Intractable hiccups during anesthesia and surgery pose a clinical challenge.
    • Traditional treatments for surgical hiccups are not always effective.

    Observation:

    • Twelve patients experiencing intraoperative or postoperative hiccups were identified.
    • These patients received intravenous ephedrine for hiccup management.

    Findings:

    • Intravenous ephedrine, at doses of 5 mg or 10 mg, successfully resolved hiccups in all twelve patients.
    • Ephedrine was effective in nine patients after conventional therapies failed.
    • In three cases, ephedrine was the sole therapeutic intervention required.

    Implications:

    • Intravenous ephedrine represents a safe, effective, and easily administered treatment for intractable hiccups in the perioperative setting.
  • This approach may offer a valuable alternative when standard treatments are unsuccessful.
