Summary

Five key factors predict postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Female gender, prior PONV history, longer anesthesia, non-smoking status, and opioid use increase PONV risk, aiding targeted antiemetic therapy.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a frequent and distressing complication following surgical procedures.
  • Identifying specific risk factors for PONV is crucial for optimizing antiemetic strategies and patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and quantify the risk factors associated with the occurrence of PONV in a large cohort of surgical patients.
  • To develop a predictive model for PONV probability based on identified risk factors.

Main Methods:

  • A case-controlled study was conducted involving 5,272 surgical patients.
  • Data on PONV presence and severity were collected at 2 and 24 hours post-surgery.
  • Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the predictive value of various risk factors.

Main Results:

  • 39% of patients experienced at least one episode of PONV.
  • The five most significant predictors of PONV, in order of relevance, were: female gender, history of PONV or motion sickness, anesthesia duration exceeding 1 hour, non-smoking status, and use of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) opioids.
  • A predictive formula was established using logistic regression to calculate the probability of PONV.

Conclusions:

  • Female gender, history of PONV/motion sickness, prolonged anesthesia, non-smoking status, and PCA opioid use are significant risk factors for PONV.
  • The developed predictive model can assist clinicians in identifying high-risk patients for PONV.
  • Targeted antiemetic interventions can be more effectively administered to patients identified as high-risk.
