IMPORTANT ASPECTS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF POSTOPERATIVE NAUSEA AND VOMITING
Abstract:
Nausea and vomiting are some of the most frequent postoperative incidents, which have a
significant negative influence on the patient's progression and, implicitly, on the quality of postoperative
recovery, as well as on their life, in terms of the comfort of postintervention and satisfaction with the
care received. In order to properly manage the prevention and treatment of PONV, the
recommendations of the guidelines must be followed, starting from the PONV risk assessment and
informing the patient about this risk, followed by appropriate pre-operative preparation, with sufficient
hydration, choosing the most appropriate type of anesthesia, depending on the patient's profile and the
level of risk for PONV, the use of associated anti-emetic regimens with proven efficacy to ensure rapid
solution of problems and implicit psychological and physical comfort of the patient.
