PONV-Prophylaxe: Ja? Nein? Vielleicht?

Das Risiko für Übelkeit und Erbrechen nach einer Narkose (PONV) kann durch verschiedene Strategien verringert werden. Im klinischen Alltag werden die Empfehlungen zur PONV-Prophylaxe allerdings häufig nicht genügend beachtet. Kooij et al. haben untersucht, wie diese Empfehlungen besser eingehalten werden können.
