|
Background :The Rhodes index of nausea, vomiting and retching (RINVR) is a reliable and valid instrument to assess PONV. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of PONV in high risk group with using RINVR.
Methods :Patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia were classified in three groups (group I:two risk factors, group II:three risk factors, group III:four risk factors) by using a simplified risk score.We investigated the incidences of PONV in each group.
Results :The incidence of PONV was 12.8% in group I, 25% in group II, and 33.1% in group III, which showed a significant difference between group I and group II, between group I and group III.The incidence of PONV, which was over moderate was significantly increased in group III.
Conclusion :For patients with three or four risk factors a multimodal antiemetic strategy should be considered. (Korean J Anesthesiol 2008; 54: 278∼82)
