Why the study?
Can a risk score based upon patient-related risk factors predict the probability of postoperative vomiting in adults undergoing ENT surgery?
Can a risk score based upon patient-related risk factors predict the probability of postoperative vomiting in adults undergoing ENT surgery?
A patient-related risk score can predict postoperative vomiting in adults undergoing ENT surgery.
May aid targeted prophylaxis via patient risk scores in ENT surgery; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
The data suggest that the probability of PV following ENT surgery under inhalational anaesthesia with low-dose opioids can be predicted by a score mainly based upon patient-related risk factors.
