title: [Management of postoperative nausea and vomiting].
abstract: There still appears to be insufficient interest in the management of postoperative nausea and vomiting. They are considered as inherent and inevitable discomforts after surgical operation. However, this disagreeable complication can be effectively managed. To do this, the risk must be suitably assessed and acted on accordingly. There are a wide variety of prophylactic options available associated with the anaesthetic technique, as well as appropriate anti-emetic treatment. In this article, the risk factors are reviewed and series of operative and postoperative recommendations are made.
