title: [Effects of Diprivan on nausea and vomiting].
abstract: Total intravenous anaesthesia using propofol is indicated in the following cases: patients with a previous history of postoperative nausea or vomiting; surgery of the middle ear; gynaecological procedures involving laparotomy; ENT and squint surgery in children. Up to now, the relationship between the clinical benefit (less incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting) and intrinsec anti-emetic properties of propofol is not included in the regulatory labelling.
