Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is common but many episodes may be trivial or transient. The aim of the study was to develop a simple-to-use measure of the intensity and clinical impact of PONV. ⋯ We have devised and validated a simplified PONV impact scale that can be used to identify those with clinically important PONV. The avoidance of clinically important PONV could be used as a quality indicator or outcome measure after surgery.
