Abstract
Despite many medical advances, the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postdischarge nausea and vomit-ing (PDNV) remains high. Sequelae such as dehydration, wound dehiscence, bleeding and others, contributed to increased healthcare costs and patient dissatisfaction. This article reviews the literature regarding the anatomy of emesis, the predictors of PONV and various treatments.Entities:
