Morning Sickness
For many pregnant women, morning sickness is not just a problem in the morning. In some cases ‘morning sickness’ can last all day, and can range from feeling nauseaous to actually vomiting many times a day. In many countries, up to 80% of women will suffer from ‘morning sickness’ or pregnancy sickness and Sea-Bands may help to reduce both feelings of nausea, and may reduce vomiting as well.
Post Operative and Chemotherapy Induced Nausea
Nausea and vomiting is a common and unpleasant side-effect of chemotherapy for cancer patients, and despite improvements in anaesthetic techniques, many post-operative patients still suffer nausea and vomiting after an operation. For cancer patients nausea can continue for a number of days therefore impacting on their daily lives. Drug-free, Sea-Bands may help to relieve cancer nausea and vomiting

Are Sea-Bands cost effective?
Yes, tests conducted on post-operative patients in hospitals have shown that Sea-Bands have a direct effect on the cost of care by reducing:
-
The length of recovery - patients are more likely to recover quickly if they are not experiencing nausea
-
Amount of anti-emetic drugs administered
-
PACU nursing care
-
Unplanned admissions related to nausea and vomiting following out-patient procedures
When Sea-Bands are placed on a patient prior to surgery, many do not suffer with nausea or vomiting. those patients who still need anti-emetic drugs may be subjected to fewer drugs and lower doses.
It has been cited that Sea-Bands are “As effective as ordinary anti-emetics; completely devoid of side effects”.
How long do they take to work?
Can they be used in combination with anti-emetic drugs?
Are there any contra-indications for Sea-Band use?
She did suggest, however, that the band be placed on a patients wrist - prior to an IV - only to ensure that the IV was not placed too close to the P6 point where the band must be positioned to work effectively.
