Worldwide, approximately 80-100 million surgical procedures are performed under general anaesthesia each year. Despite major advances in surgical techniques and the introduction of new anaesthetic agents with reduced emetogenicity, the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (20-30%) has remained largely unchanged over the past few decades. Postoperative nausea and vomiting are of greatest concern after ambulatory surgical procedures because they may delay discharge and result in unanticipated hospital admission, thus increasing the cost of the procedure by a large margin. This review discusses the current status of the antiemetic therapy of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
在全球范围内，每年约有8000万至1亿例手术在全身麻醉下进行。尽管手术技术取得了重大进展，并且引入了致吐性降低的新型麻醉剂，但在过去几十年中，术后恶心呕吐的发生率（20%-30%）基本保持不变。术后恶心呕吐在门诊手术中最为令人担忧，因为它们可能会延迟出院并导致意外住院，从而大幅增加手术费用。本文综述了术后恶心呕吐的止吐治疗现状。
