Summary

A new management protocol for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) improved patient care and reduced staff workload. This evidence-based approach, combining a treatment algorithm with nursing education, shows promise for better PONV management.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine
  • Nursing and Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remains a significant challenge in patient recovery.
  • Current antiemetic treatments often prove insufficient for effective PONV management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a comprehensive management protocol for PONV.
  • To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of PONV treatment and patient care.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a treatment algorithm for PONV.
  • Implementation of a nursing education program alongside the algorithm.
  • Evaluation of staff acceptance, treatment delays, patient care, and staff workload.

Main Results:

  • The protocol was well-accepted by healthcare staff.

  • Significant reductions in treatment delays and staff workload were observed.
  • Improvements in overall patient care related to PONV were noted.

    • Conclusions:

    • The developed PONV management protocol is effective in improving patient care and operational efficiency.
    • The protocol demonstrates potential for reducing staff burden and enhancing patient outcomes.
    • Continuous quality improvement methods will be used for further refinement and assessment.
