Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is the phenomenon of nausea, vomiting, or retching experienced by a patient in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) or within 24 hours following a surgical procedure.It is an unpleasant complication that affects about 10% of the population undergoing general anaesthesia each year. Nausea, retching, or vomiting, as well as the degree of sedation and discharge times, were assessed in the recovery room and for 24 h postoperatively. Recently, two centers have independently developed a risk score for predicting postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Eine Stimulation des Brechzentrums in der Medulla oblongata führt zu Brechreiz und Erbrechen sowie Blässe und Kaltschweißigkeit. Pierre S, Benais H, Pouymayou J.
