Abstract

Abstract Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) was recognized and described in 1848 by John Snow and remains a common postoperative complaint. It has an incidence of about 25% in adults, with a published range of 5-75%. PONV is distressing for the patient, can delay recovery from surgery, causes dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and wound dehiscence, interferes with oral therapies and delays discharge from hospital, with associated costs.
