Abstract

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are among the most frequently encountered and distressing complications following surgery, second only to postoperative pain in terms of patient-reported discomfort. Typically occuring with in the first 24 to 48 hours postoperatively, PONV significantly impairs patient comfort, delaysrecovery and increasesthe risk of further complications, there by contributing to extended hospital stay sandelevated healthcare costs. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the risk factor associated with PONV, current pharmacological management strategies and evidence-based practical and the oretical guide for perioperative nurses, whoplay a pivotal role in the management and implementation of perioperative care protocols. Through the integration of up to date research findings and clinical guidelines, this review seks to enhance the quality of postoperative care and improve patient out comes.

Özet

Ameliyat sonrası bulantı ve kusma (ASBK) hastaların bildirdiği rahatsızlıklar açısından ameliyat sonrası ağrıdan sonra ikinci sırada yer alan, cerrahi sonrası en sık karşılaşılan ve en rahatsız edici komplikasyonlar arasında bulunmaktadır. Genellikle ameliyat sonrası ilk 24 ila 48 saat içinde ortaya çıkan ASBK, hasta konforunu ciddi ölçüde azaltmakta, iyileşme sürecini geciktirmekte ve ek komplikasyon riskini artırarak hastanede kalış süresinin uzamasına ve sağlık hizmeti maliyetlerinin artmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu derlemenin amacı, ASBK ile ilişkili risk faktörlerini, mevcut farmakolojik tedavi yaklaşımlarını ve önleme ile tedaviye yönelik kanıta dayalı önerileri kapsamlı bir şekilde sunmaktır. Sunulan bilgiler, perioperatif bakım sürecinin yönetiminde önemli bir rol üstlenen cerrahi hemşireleri için teorik ve pratik bir rehber niteliği taşımaktadır. Güncel araştırma bulguları ve klinik rehberlerin entegrasyonu yoluyla, bu derleme ameliyat sonrası bakımın kalitesini artırmayı ve hasta sonuçlarını iyileştirmeyi hedeflemektedir.
