BACKGROUND Post-operative nausea and vomiting is a complication of general anaesthesia but can also be seen less commonly in regional anaesthesia. The uneasiness and discomfort associated with it can make the post-operative period eventful. We conducted this study to evaluate if sevoflurane and propofol used in maintenance of anaesthesia have any influence on post-operative nausea and vomiting. METHODS We included 64 patients in this prospective observational study who were undergoing elective otorhinolaryngology surgery belonging to American Society of Anaesthesiologist (ASA) PS I and II. After induction of general anaesthesia and endotracheal intubation, Group P received propofol at 100 - 200 mcg / kg / hr and group S received sevoflurane as maintenance anaesthetics agent at 1.5 - 2 %. All the patients were given ondansetron intravenously in the intra-operative period. Anaesthetic agents used for maintenance was stopped at the end of the surgery and patients were extubated and shifted to post-operative care unit. Patients were assessed for any occurrence of post-operative nausea and vomiting after extubation for 24 hours. RESULTS There were 2 (6.25 %) patients in the propofol group and 12 (37.5 %) patients in the sevoflurane group who had post-operative nausea and vomiting in the first hour. The difference in the nausea and vomiting between the groups was statistically significant with (P value of 0.0046) higher incidence in sevoflurane group. All the patients who had nausea and vomiting were treated with dexamethasone. When the patients were reassessed after four hours, five patients had nausea in sevoflurane group after four hours, which was treated with metoclopramide or Ondansetron. After six hours, none of the patients had nausea or vomiting. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting was lesser in the propofol group compared to sevoflurane group.

Abstract Background Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postoperative pain (POP) are most commonly experienced in the early hours after surgery. Many studies have reported high rates of PONV and POP, and have identified factors that could predict the development of these complications. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between PONV and POP, and to identify some factors associated with these symptoms. Methods This was a prospective, multicentre, observational study performed at An-Najah National University Hospital and Rafidia Governmental Hospital, the major surgical hospitals in northern Palestine, from October 2019 to February 2020. A data collection form, adapted from multiple previous studies, was used to evaluate factors associated with PONV and POP in patients undergoing elective surgery. Patients were interviewed during the first 24 h following surgery. Multiple binary logistic regression was applied to determine factors that were significantly associated with the occurrence of PONV. Results Of the 211 patients included, nausea occurred in 43.1%, vomiting in 17.5%, and PONV in 45.5%. Multiple binary logistic regression analysis, using PONV as a dependent variable, showed that only patients with a history of PONV [odds ratio (OR) = 2.28; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.03–5.01; p = 0.041] and POP (OR = 2.41; 95% CI = 1.17–4.97; p = 0.018) were significantly associated with the occurrence of PONV. Most participants (74.4%) reported experiencing pain at some point during the first 24 h following surgery. Additionally, the type and duration of surgery were significantly associated with POP (p-values were 0.002 and 0.006, respectively). Conclusions PONV and POP are common complications in our surgical patients. Factors associated with PONV include a prior history of PONV and POP. Patients at risk should be identified, the proper formulation of PONV protocols should be considered, and appropriate management plans should be implemented to improve patients’ outcomes.
