Supplemental perioperative intravenous crystalloids for postoperative nausea and vomiting

Supplemental intravenous crystalloids for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting: quantitative review.

Hypovolaemia after overnight fasting is believed to exacerbate postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). However, data on the efficacy of supplemental i.v. crystalloids for PONV prophylaxis are conflicting. We performed a literature search using CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Web of Science. We included prospective randomized controlled trials that reported PONV event rates in patients r...
