Development and validation of a risk score to predict the probability of postoperative vomiting in pediatric patients: the VPOP score

Abstract

Independent risk factors for POV were identified and used to create a new score to predict which children are at high risk of POV.

Incidence and factors contributing to postdischarge nausea and vomiting in pediatric ambulatory surgical cases

“…Duration of anesthesia >45 minutes has previously been found to increase risk of PONV in pediatric patients . We did not find a difference in the duration of anesthesia between those children who had PDNV and those who did not.…”

“…This study was also performed in the absence of intraoperative antiemetic usage, and may explain the difference in incidence found. Additionally, this study did not attempt to capture episodes of nausea and studied a mix of both inpatients and outpatients …”

“…Multiple studies have associated strabismus repair and tonsillectomy with the highest incidences of PONV in children. As such, we chose to dichotomize type of procedure to reflect these previous findings.…”

Incidence and risk factors for postoperative vomiting following atrial septal defect repair in children

“…Bordaud et al . also developed a pediatric‐specific risk score to predict POV using a derivation cohort of 1761 patients and a validation cohort of 450 patients undergoing a variety of surgical procedures using standardized anesthesia techniques. They excluded patients who required more than an hour of postoperative intubation and/or sedation.…”
