Purpose Of ReviewPostoperative/postdischarge nausea and vomiting (PONV/PDNV) remain relevant issues in perioperative care. Especially in ambulatory surgery, PONV can prevent discharge or lead to unplanned readmission.Recent FindingsThe evidence for the management of PONV is now quite good but is still inadequately implemented. A universal, multimodal rather than risk-adapted approach for PONV prophylaxis is now recommended. The evidence on PDNV is insufficient.SummaryPDNV management is based primarily on consequent prophylaxis and therapy of PONV.Copyright © 2022 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.
