    AbstractA prospective study of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) was conducted in 415 children presenting for inpatient surgery. The overall incidence of PONV was 18.1%). The highest incidence was in children undergoing ENT procedures and increased with age. Avoidance of intraoperative opioids and the use of local anaesthesia and/or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs reduced the incidence of nausea and vomiting postoperatively.
