[Possibilities of management of dyspeptic symptoms in the immediate postoperative period]

Analysis of the postoperative course of 1276 patients has shown that the incidence of nausea and vomiting in the first hours after surgical intervention does not depend on the mode of analgesia. Dyspepsia in the immediate postoperative period occurred in more than 1/3 of the patients after surgery on the bile duct. Addition of metoclopramide or dimetpromide to premedication helped reduce the incidence of postoperative vomiting. An antiemetic drug should be an obligatory component of premedication.
