Traditionally, total parenteral nutrition(TPN) has been used when patients with hypaemesis gravidarum failed to respond to conservative management, but now many physicians attempt to enteral feeding via nasogastric tube because TPN is expensive and has many complications. Recently, we experienced 2 cases of hyperemesis gravidarum successfully managed by enteral feeding via nasogastric tube, therefore we think that this method may be carefully considered to the patients with hyperemesis gravidarum failed to respond to conservative management. So we report them with brief review of the literatures.

4.The Effect of P6 Acupressure for Symptom Control in Pregnant Women Having Hyperemesis Gravidarum.
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2005;35(3):593-601
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Nei-Guan(P6) acupressure on nausea and vomiting in pregnant women having hyperemesis gravidarum. METHOD: The research design was a randomized control-group pretest-posttest repeated measure design with counter balancing. For the experimental treatment, P6 acupressure was carried out for ten minutes. Data was collected from April 1. 2003 to April 30. 2004. The participants were 66 patients admitted with hyperemesis gravidarum. They were divided into three groups, a P6 acupressure group, placebo point group and a control group. RESULT: Hyperemesis gravidarum patients who received P6 acupressure during admission experienced much less nausea and vomiting than the placebo acupressure and control group(F=8.259, p=.001). CONCLUSION: Nei-Guan(P6) acupressure is considered an effective intervention for reducing nausea and vomiting in pregnant women having hyperemesis gravidarum. Further more Nei-Guan(P6) acupressure maybe used as an independent nursing intervention method for pregnant women with severe nausea and vomiting.

We have experienced two cases of Wernicke's encephalopathy associated with hypere-mesis gravidarum. Delay in it's diagnosis caused a protracted illness and persisting neurol-ogic deficits. Because of its association with chronic alcoholism, possibility of Wernicke's encephalopathy may not be considered in early stage of disease. The clinical feature, the principle of management and the prevention of Wernicke's encephalopathy are discussed.

8.Subjectivity of Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy(NVP) in Woman: Q Methodology.
Korean Journal of Women Health Nursing 2003;9(4):422-431
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to explore the subjective opinions related to NVP experience in woman. METHOD: The research method used was Q-methodology. The statement of self-reference was derived from face to face interviews with 10 womans. Statement were categorized by researcher according to semantics. Twenty-seven of the self reference statement from categories of the Q-population were selected. Twenty-five of pregnant womans were selected by consideration of diversity in sociodemographic background. Based on a 1 to 9 point scale, the selected pregnant womans were made to participate in Q-sorting. Analysis of Q-type was obtained by use of the QUANAL program. RESULT: There are three type of NVP experience of Korean womans. The first type focused on family support relate to NVP coping. The second type focused on physical self regulation related to NVP coping. The third type focused on actual strategy related to NVP coping. CONCLUSION: It is suggested that the results of this study may contribute to the development strategies for the purpose of decreasing the incidence of NVP.

9.A Case of Wernicke's Encephalopathy Associated with Hyperemesis Gravidarum.
Korean Journal of Perinatology 2006;17(1):84-88
Wernicke's encephalopathy, characterized by ataxia, nystagmus, confusion, due to thiamine deficiency, can be a lethal disease without appropriate treatment such as thiamine supplement. The thiamine defect could be from poor oral intake because of hyperemesis gravidarum as well as alcoholic disease. Radiologically, Wernicke's encephalopathy presents the abnormality around the 3rd and the 4th ventricle and periaqueductal area. We now present the case of Wernicke's encephalopathy associated with hyperemesis gravidarum with the radiologic finding and reviewing other literature.

Hyperemesis gravidarum is characterized by severe nausea, vomiting followed by weight loss, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and acid-base derangements. Its treatment was composed of adequate fluid therapy, electrolyte replacement and nutrient supply. In severe case, it also leads to a variety of neurological symptoms including confusion, gait disturbance and nystagmus, possibly due to thiamine deficiency and may result in so called Wernicke's disease. We have experienced a case of Wernicke's encephalopathy associated with severe hyperemesis gravidarum and this case is presented with a brief review of literature.
