Pharmacological Approaches to Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting Prevention
Abstract
The nationwide incidence of PONV ranges from 10-80%, varying widely due to differences in patient and anesthetic risk factors. PONV has implications including prolonged patient recovery, increased duration of hospital admissions, increased healthcare costs, and lower patient satisfaction. The literature suggests that utilizing a PONV guideline can decrease the risk and severity of PONV. No practice guidelines were available in the NMCSD anesthesia department to guide anesthesia providers management of PONV.
