The following symptoms and complaints may indicate nausea (sickness):
Pathognomonic (characteristic of a disease).
- Dull feeling in the stomach area
- Nausea
Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINE)
This is divided into three phases
- Acute-onset CINE: onset of nausea and/or vomiting within the first 24 h after administration of a chemotherapeutic agent; often occurs after only a few minutes
- Delayed-onset CINE: occurrence at least 24 h after cytostatic drug administration and may persist for up to 120 h after admission
- Anticipatory CINE: This occurs before the application of the antineoplastic agent in patients who have had CINE.
