Abstract
While guidelines exist for the management of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in the general surgical setting, there are no established guidelines for the prevention or treatment of PONV in bariatric patients, in whom PONV contributes significantly to perioperative morbidity and hospital resource utilization. This systematic review found that the multimodal pharmacological approach to PONV prevention recommended in current guidelines for high-risk surgical patients is appropriate for the bariatric subset. This includes multi-agent antiemetic prophylaxis with dexamethasone and one or more agents from other classes, and opioid-free total intravenous anesthesia, though the advantages of the latter need further evaluation. There remains a need for a standardized validated instrument to assess PONV in the bariatric setting.
