What is Managing Postoperative Nausea & Vomiting about?

The document discusses the management of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) following surgery. It notes that as many as 80 out of 100 surgical patients experience PONV. Risk factors include being female, a non-smoker, use of postoperative opioids, and a history of motion sickness. A multimodal approach should be used to prevent PONV, including risk assessment, patient education, and use of pharmacological prophylaxis when needed.
