Understanding postoperative nausea and vomiting

Speciality: Anesthesia


Speaker:

Dr. RUDRARAJU RAMACHANDRA RAJU | Consultant Anesthesologist

Description:

Welcome to today’s episode, where we explore postoperative nausea and vomiting, often called PONV. This common complication affects around a third of patients after surgery. PONV can occur due to factors like anaesthetic drugs, pain medications, or the stress of surgery itself. While it’s usually temporary, it can cause discomfort, delay recovery, and occasionally lead to more serious issues such as dehydration. To manage PONV, healthcare teams assess patient risk, use preventive medications, and adapt anaesthetic techniques when possible. If you or someone you know is preparing for surgery, discussing PONV prevention with your medical team can help ensure a smoother recovery. Thanks for listening to this concise guide to postoperative care.
