    AbstractPostdischarge nausea and vomiting (PDNV) occurs in at least 30% of patients leaving hospital, especially after day-case surgery. A significant number of ambulatory patients may develop PDNV associated with the use of analgesics for postsurgical pain. A validated PDNV prediction score and international evidence-based consensus guidelines for PONV/PDNV management are available. High-risk patients benefit from a predischarge PDNV risk assessment and the use of adapted pharmacological intervention (combination of long- and short-acting antiemetics and access to antiemetics at home). Patient education is often overlooked in this context. All clinicians involved in the ambulatory surgery care process should participate in the development of institutional protocol for PONV/PDNV management. Constant quality control and patients' feedback should be integrated as part of an efficient implementation strategy.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
