Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postoperative ileus (POI) significantly impact patient recovery and costs. This review details their pathophysiology and management, highlighting ongoing challenges despite advances.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Care

Background:

  • Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postoperative ileus (POI) are common complications following surgery.
  • PONV is primarily anesthesia-related, while POI involves impaired gastrointestinal motility.
  • The pathophysiology of PONV is relatively well-understood, but POI mechanisms require further elucidation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the pathophysiology of PONV and POI.
  • To discuss their clinical relevance in postoperative care.
  • To outline standardized management strategies for PONV.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on PONV and POI.
  • Analysis of pathophysiology and contributing mechanisms.

  • Examination of current and proposed treatment targets, including 5-HT(3) receptor antagonists.

    • Main Results:

    • PONV and POI present distinct but related challenges in postoperative recovery.
    • Effective management strategies, such as those by Apfel and coworkers, exist for PONV.
    • Despite advances, these conditions remain significant issues affecting patient outcomes and healthcare costs.

    Conclusions:

    • Further research into POI pathophysiology is warranted.
    • Optimized management of PONV and POI is crucial for improving patient comfort and reducing healthcare expenses.
    • Integrated approaches to managing these common postoperative complications are essential.
