Abstract

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common problems following surgery. This chapter is designed to educate the readers on the spectrum of antiemetic therapy available, and to which populations the modalities may prove most useful. The pharmacology of both traditional and novel drugs is discussed as well as synergies gained from multi-modal combination drug therapy. The use of routine antiemetic prophylaxis is essential for a successful enhanced recovery pathway.
