Tratamiento de rescate sin demora
Las opciones de tratamiento de rescate son intervenciones que
no se han aplicado antes o en las que la vida media sugiere que
ya no son activa
s 190 .Los antagonistas de la serotonina, si no se
administraron en el quirófano, pueden ser el primer tratamiento
en la URPA ya que carecen de efecto sedante. También, aña-
diendo dexametasona al dolasetrón o al haloperidol pueden
aumentar la reducción global de riesgo de precisar tratamiento
de rescate (de nuevo, si no se ha administrado antes
) 193 .Final-
mente, la estimulación del punto P6 de acupresión puede ser una
opción válida, ya que ha demostrado ser eficaz en la prevención
de las NVPO.
