Antiemetics and postoperative nausea and vomiting

Abstract

Patients do not usually vomit after operations, and no antiemetic drug can be used without some risk. Medical Letter consultants therefore believe that antiemetics should be used not as a routine, but only when nausea and vomiting are disturbing the comfort or treatment of the patient, especially when the results of surgery are threatened (for example, in the eye).
