Objectives
• Describe the physiologic processes
resulting in the phenomenon of PONV
• Identify causative factors of PONV
• Identify patient risk factors for PONV
• Identify antiemetic therapies and
describe the current prophylactic and
treatment modalities of PONV based on
current literature

within him, The riches which he hath swallowed, he shall
vomit up, and God shall draw them out of his belly.” --Douhy-Rheims Bible, Job, 20: 14-15

period of rapid fetal growth,
and includes critically the
development of the CNS,
which is highly susceptible
to toxicosis.”

What is PONV?
• Nausea – An unpleasant sensation that refers to an
inclination to vomit. From the Greek word “nautia”
meaning “seasickness”
• Vomiting – The forceful expulsion of GI contents from
the stomach through the mouth.
• Retching – An involuntary effort to vomit that does not
result in ejection of gastric contents
Diemunsch et al., 2009
![Page 8: Post Operative Nausea & Vomitting · Post Operative Nausea & Vomiting A Review of Physiology and Current Prophylaxis/Treatment Modalities Matthew MacDonald, BSN, SRNA York College](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042309/5ed7063762136e72fb7bb0e3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is PONV?
• “Any nausea, retching, or vomiting occurring during the first
24-48 h after surgery in inpatients.” Pierre 2012
• “A multifactorial phenomenon that can be triggered by
multiple receptor pathways at peripheral, central, or both
sites.” Apfel et al. 2012
• “Adverse reaction and physiologic response to the surgical
process represented by the expression of queasiness,
unsettled stomach, and urge to retch or vomit (nausea)
and/or the frank expulsion of gastric contents (vomiting)
occurring within 24 hours of surgery.”
Smith & Sahd 2016
