Abstract: SummaryA prospective interview-based survey on the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in 1107 in-patients aged 4-86 years was conducted during a 3-month period. Nausea, emetic episodes and the need for anti-emetic medication were recorded for 24 h postoperatively. In the recovery room, the incidence of nausea and vomiting was 18% and 5%, respectively.

“…Inadequate management of postoperative pain and PONV can lead to several systemic complications and delays recovery [13,16,34,48]. Moreover, pain and PONV are strongly associated with patient dissatisfaction [11,32,39,41,43]. Although management of pain and PONV after TKA is of paramount importance, no gold standard protocols for reducing pain and PONV have been developed, and their management remains a challenging issue for patients and healthcare providers.…”

“…In addition, there have been suggestions that nonsmoking may be a risk factor in the genesis of PONV [1,6,7]. We therefore decided to test the hypothesis that smoking protects against this distressing symptom in the context of day case surgery.…”

“…(5,6) Other risk factors are former history of kinetosis and PONV. (7,8) Tobacco smoking seems to reduce the risk. (9) Evidence proves that age would also be an independent risk factor, because the highest incidence is in children and risk after each decade of life is reduced by 10%.…”

“…(7) Other possible risk factors are: poorer evaluation in the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score, migraine and postoperative anxiety. (8)(9)(10) Factors associated to surgical procedure Surgery time is an independent risk factor for PONV (risk increases by 60% for each additional 30 minutes of surgery time. (7,8) Type of surgery is considered as an important risk factor.…”
