Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) significantly impacts patient satisfaction. Recent advancements in anesthetic agents and antiemetic therapies are improving PONV management, making it an avoidable complication.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Pharmacology
  • Patient Care

Background:

  • Perioperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a significant concern for surgical patients, especially those undergoing ambulatory surgery.
  • Patient satisfaction is highly correlated with the absence of PONV, often prioritized over pain or drowsiness.
  • Historically, PONV incidence remained stagnant until recent therapeutic and procedural changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolving landscape of postoperative nausea and vomiting management.
  • To highlight recent advancements contributing to the decline in PONV incidence.
  • To emphasize the potential for further improvements in antiemetic strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical practice and anesthetic agent introductions.

  • Analysis of the impact of new drugs like propofol and ketorolac.
  • Examination of changes in postoperative care protocols.

    • Main Results:

    • Introduction of propofol, ketorolac, and altered discharge policies have contributed to reduced PONV incidence.
    • New antiserotonin drugs offer potential for decreasing intractable emesis, especially with combination therapy.
    • PONV is increasingly viewed as a manageable and avoidable complication.

    Conclusions:

    • Improvements in antiemetic therapy can significantly enhance surgical patient outcomes, particularly in ambulatory settings.
    • PONV should be considered an avoidable side effect, similar to pain.
    • Further research into PONV mechanisms is crucial for optimizing future management strategies.
