BACKGROUND
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remains a common complication of anesthesia. We tried to assess the amount patients were willing to pay for a hypothetical antiemetic that would completely prevent PONV.
METHODS
Trained residents interviewed 86 patients, who were scheduled to undergo general anesthesia, and questionnaires were completed.
RESULTS
Patients were willing to pay a median of 30,000 won for an antiemetic that would completely prevent PONV. The amounts patients were willing to pay correlated with age, previous history of PONV, and patient income.
CONCLUSIONS
Patients assigned a value for avoidance of PONV. It is suggested that more efforts to prevent PONV would be helpful for the increase in patient satisfaction.
背景
术后恶心呕吐（PONV）仍然是麻醉常见的并发症。我们试图评估患者为一种假设的能完全预防PONV的止吐药愿意支付的费用。
方法
经过培训的住院医师对86例计划接受全身麻醉的患者进行访谈，并完成问卷调查。
结果
患者为一种能完全预防PONV的止吐药愿意支付的中位数为30,000韩元。患者愿意支付的费用与年龄、既往PONV病史和患者收入相关。
结论
患者为避免PONV赋予了一定价值。建议加大预防PONV的力度将有助于提高患者满意度。
