Sažetak
The paper shows a new, multimodal approach to the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), which are among the most common complications in surgically treated patients. The approach combines the following procedures: risk assessment of postoperative nausea and vomiting, minimization of adverse effects of anesthesia and surgery, prophylaxis using drugs with anti-emetic effect, and optimization of therapy in case the complication develops. Besides reducing the incidence rate of PONV, such approach also reduces both the number of PONV-related serious complications and treatment costs.
