Article Synopsis
- Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common issue in pediatric patients after surgery, emphasizing the need to understand its risk factors for better treatment strategies.
- The study involved interviews and data analysis from 626 children aged 4 to 18 years to determine the prevalence of PONV on the day of surgery and its potential causes.
- Key findings revealed that the type of surgery and the amount of fentanyl during anesthesia were significant predictors of PONV, with procedural investigations showing the highest risk.
