The patient was started on intravenous (IV) fluids for the AKI and received lorazepam, prochlorperazine, baclofen, gabapentin, and omeprazole to alleviate the hiccups. Hiccups improved but persisted despite medications given in the ED.
The hiccups did not respond to pharmacologic treatments including cisapride, omeprazole, and baclofen. Phrenic nerve block was also ineffective. However, the persistent hiccups were successfully treated with short-term positive pressure ventilation using a short-acting muscle relaxant. Keywords: hiccups, positive pressure ventilation.

Development of recurrent hiccups in this current patient was likely multifactorial given the history of gastroesophageal reflux disease and recent discontinuation of omeprazole. Although the use of propofol carries a rate of hiccups 1% [ 20 ], it is possible that anesthesia may have contributed to hiccups and functional gastroparesis [ 21, 22 ].
Hence Omeprazole being a much more expensive drug than it is now.....
