Drugs in anesthesia: preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting

Abstract: Purpose of reviewPostoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) continues to be a burden for patients, medical staff and healthcare facilities because of inadequate adherence to available recommendations. This review gives an overview on recent recommendations, new evidence and remaining issues in the field of PONV management. Recent findingsA wide range of drugs is available for the management of PONV including corticosteroids, 5-HT 3antagonists, dopamine-antagonists, neurokinin-receptor-1 (NK 1 )-antagonists, anti… Show more

“…Some studies reported that dexamethasone and 5-HT3 receptor antagonists can reduce the risk of PONV. [50][51][52] However, this finding was not significant in the present study. This may be attributed to the small dose of dexamethasone used in our study (3-10 mg).…”

“…There are several classes of antiemetic drugs including serotonin (5HT3) antagonists, dopamine (D2) antagonists, NK 1-antagonists, antihistamines, and corticosteroids. There is minimal harm to using most of these drugs apart from the increased risk of sedation or increasing the QTc interval [ 107 ]. Many patients in this group will be receiving steroids as part of the surviving sepsis guidelines [ 108 ] which also have antiemetic properties.…”

“…Preoperative supplementation with carbohydrates and/or electrolytes has been shown to reduce PONV and acute phase response in pediatric patients undergoing general surgical or endoscopic procedures; this is currently being investigated in the AIS population 52-54 . A wide range of antiemetics can be used for PONV with some of them being used in PSF surgery as part of enhanced recovery pathways, but their effects have not been evaluated in isolation in this population 16,43,55 . Use of antiemetics, PONV prophylactic measures, and preoperative status needs further evaluation in PSF surgery.…”
