Abstract:
:Postoperative nausea and vomiting is one of the most common complications of inpatient and day case surgical procedures. In a climate where total cost of an illness is becoming increasingly important, postoperative nausea and vomiting is a major contributor to direct and indirect costs for both the hospital and patient. In patient terms, the impact of increased recovery room stays and extra nursing time required by PONV patients has been estimated to range from 96-576 more surgical procedures which may be performed in an 'average' day case surgery centre. Postoperative nausea and vomiting is perceived by patients to account for equal or more debilitation than surgery itself and may cause them to lose wages due to absence from work. Reducing the incidence of nausea and vomiting and its associated problems may therefore provide opportunities to improve patient care, decrease the size of waiting lists and improve utilisation of scarce healthcare resources.
