Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) affects 20-30% of patients despite advances in anesthesia. This review examines current antiemetic therapies to manage PONV, especially in ambulatory surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Approximately 80-100 million surgeries occur annually under general anesthesia worldwide.
  • Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) incidence remains high at 20-30% despite anesthetic advancements.
  • PONV significantly impacts ambulatory surgery by delaying discharge and increasing costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current therapeutic strategies for managing postoperative nausea and vomiting.
  • To highlight the persistent challenge of PONV in modern surgical practice.

Main Methods:

  • This is a review article, synthesizing existing literature on antiemetic therapies.
  • Focuses on the current status and efficacy of treatments for PONV.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Despite improved anesthetic agents, PONV rates have not significantly decreased.
  • Effective management of PONV is crucial for ambulatory surgery outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • There is a continued need for effective antiemetic therapies to reduce the incidence and impact of PONV.
  • Optimizing PONV management is essential for patient recovery and healthcare efficiency.
