Abstract

Nausea and vomiting frequently affect surgical patients during the Postsurgery period, occasionally affecting the results of interventions that could be successful. It is estimated that they affect 20 to 30 % of the patients. That is why we made a bibliographic review with the objective of updating the knowledge about postsurgery nausea and vomiting prevention. We mention drugs used with this purpose. We also include acupuncture and other related modalities, especially interventions on Neiguan point (Pc-6), as the best studied technique with recognized antivomiting effect.
